Not me, there's a stock steel wheel under there with a 7 year old General 235/85R16 on it. If it was missing, I'd be happy it's gone

I work here at a dealership in parts and i know how these things works. That Rim didn't come on the truck from Ford like that.Your salesmen ordered from a parts counter man who then billed it to your stock# of the truck in witch you later got billed for. Your only way to prove that it was once on the truck is to have the selling paperwork, without it you really have no case and the dealer, the advisor, and even myself (those of us whom have spent many years working for ford) know that the truck never came with that from the factory. Listen i don't mean to **** you off or have you start flaming me i just feel that you should know the facts.

My '08 Lariat with 20" wheels came with a steel 18" Continental 33. The tires on the truck are Goodyear 34s. I looked under all of them, that's how they come. That's what the window sticker says, for '08s anyway.

That means the original dealer would have to have installed the matching "$820" spare and despite the fact the original customer cancelled the sale left it on the truck. They then sold the truck to the other dealer. Did they then charge the selling dealer for it? They should have those records. Calling the original stocking dealer and providing proof it was dealer installed may help your case. If they didn't then the selling dealer must have, did they forget to charge $820 for it? I don't think it's reasonable to assume the service manager and the tech were in on the "theft" together. But it is reasonable to give his employee the benefit of the doubt after a trained police officer has interviewed the tech. In the unlikely event the spare was stolen (or aftermarket stereo, personal items etc) from your drive way, the insurance company would require the same proof it was part of the truck and I don't think it should be any different from the dealers point of view.
