Most Popular E-Track Mount for 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500

I was concerned about putting the weight of a spare tire on the e-Track, but it really is not a problem. This bracket holds the tire up close and tight, so there's really no room for the tire to move once it is screwed down. The e-track on the front of my trailer is screwed very solidly into the metal frame of the V-nose structure, so the weight of the tire goes right into the frame, and isn't trying to pull wood screws out of plywood. In the pictures, I have the tire mounted low because that is the most convenient place for placing and removing the tire, but it works equally well on the higher tracks, and that gets it out of the way for loading most things in the trailer.

I had my doubts about ordering this tire mounting bracket but I have to tell you that any doubts I had disappeared once the etrack was mounted on the interior wall of our trailer and the bracket snapped into place. The spare tire mounted on the bracket instantly and is held in place with the wingnut. The actual arm you see sticking out is what holds the weight of the assembly on the bracket. Now the spare tire unit is up and out of the way instead of under foot. Highly recommended. In the picture, see it up on the front left of the trailer? Just perfect for us:-)
