Check these locations carefully:
* Attached to the spare tire: Look closely at the spare tire itself; the crank might be bolted or clipped to the tire or its mounting bracket.
* In a compartment near the spare tire: Some models have a small storage compartment or tray near the spare tire where tools are kept. This might be a simple open space or a more enclosed compartment.
* Under the truck bed: If you don't find it attached to the spare or in a compartment, carefully inspect the area under the truck bed near the spare tire. The crank might be tucked away in a recessed area or loosely stored.
If you still can't locate it, consult your Ford F-250 owner's manual. It will have a diagram showing the exact location of the crank and other tools.
