Spare Tire Hoist Spare Tire Winch Carrier - Direct Fit Replacement

In this review the spare tire hoist spare tire winch carrier is evaluated as a direct replacement for late 1990s through 2017 Chevy and GMC full size trucks and SUVs. The bottom line: this is a straightforward, OEM-design replacement for owners who need a working spare tire lift without changing the vehicle or wheel setup. It installs in place of the original winch, matches OE specifications, and is best for owners of 5 or 6 lug wheels who want a cost-effective, functional fix rather than an upgraded aftermarket carrier.

Key Features

• OE fitment: Manufactured to OE specification so it mounts and functions like the factory part for a smooth direct replacement.
• Wide vehicle coverage: Fits a long list of Chevy and GMC trucks and SUVs from 1999 to 2017, reducing the chance of a fitment mismatch for common models.
• Replaces specific OEM numbers: Directly replaces part numbers 924-510, 20870067, 15703311, and 15866164 for easy cross-reference.
• Durable construction: Made from surface-treated reinforced steel to resist corrosion and give longer service life than untreated alternatives.
• Easy installation: Designed as a direct-replace unit so owners can swap it in with basic hand tools and restore spare wheel operation quickly.

Who It's For

This carrier is aimed at owners of Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Suburban, Tahoe, and Yukon models listed in the fitment who need a like-for-like replacement for a failed or missing spare tire winch. It suits DIY mechanics who want a practical, OEM-style fix without modifying the spare tire system.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners with 8 lug wheels (this unit is only for 5 or 6 lug wheels) and buyers seeking an upgraded cableless or heavy-duty aftermarket carrier; this product is positioned as a replacement rather than a performance upgrade.

Pros & Cons

Our Verdict
