Blake L. upgraded his 2015 Ford Expedition Platinum with our Spare Tire Delete Kit and the Shocker XL 6 Horn Upgrade Kit for Spare Tire Delete Kits—the S6-style six-horn upgrade path for STD—transforming the rear setup into a cleaner, louder, and more aggressive configuration. If you want serious train horn presence without giving up the refined full-size SUV look, this pairing is built to deliver.

On this build, the Spare Tire Delete Kit was installed in the factory spare tire location underneath the rear cargo area. That mounting position keeps everything tucked up cleanly while maximizing usable space and maintaining a factory-style appearance from the outside in. It is a popular approach for Expedition owners who want high output without sacrificing interior room. The XL 6 upgrade kit steps the horn section up to six Shocker XL bells sized for Spare Tire Delete brackets—exactly the kind of add-on HornBlasters lists alongside the base STD system.

The upgrade brings a noticeable jump in tone and projection, delivering a deep, commanding blast that matches the bold presence of the Expedition Platinum. By using the spare tire well, the setup not only improves performance but also optimizes underbody packaging for a streamlined install. Learn more about the platform on Spare Tire Delete kits at HornBlasters.

Blake’s build shows how a full-size SUV can stay refined and still sound unmistakably aggressive—clean install, factory-style fitment, and train horn tone done right. If you’re running a 2015 Expedition and want a clean, high-output path, the Spare Tire Delete Kit with the Shocker XL 6 Horn Upgrade Kit is a proven option for both performance and practicality.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Spare Tire Delete Kit is HornBlasters’ spare-wheel-well train horn system: it packages loud horns with onboard air where your spare tire used to live. On HornBlasters.com, the “S6 upgrade” called out on installs like this Blake L. build maps to the Shocker XL 6 Horn Upgrade Kit for Spare Tire Delete Kits—six Shocker XL bells engineered for STD mounting. Some configurations may also use extension brackets; confirm everything your Expedition needs on the product pages or with HornBlasters support before you order.

The factory spare tire well under the rear cargo floor is engineered to carry weight and stay out of sight—ideal for a Spare Tire Delete install on a 2015 Expedition Platinum. Blake’s build keeps the assembly tucked up for a clean silhouette while freeing you from stacking horns in the engine bay. Always verify clearance, heat, and structural mounting points for your specific vehicle before final torque.

This page highlights a 2015 Ford Expedition Platinum install, but spare tire well dimensions and underbody hardware vary by year, trim, drivetrain, and options. Use HornBlasters fitment guidance on the Spare Tire Delete Kit listing and contact HornBlasters support if you’re unsure about your exact Expedition. If you’re adding the XL 6 upgrade kit, double-check bracket and extension requirements at the same time.

Yes—the Spare Tire Delete Kit is designed to occupy the spare tire’s space with horns and air equipment instead of a full-size spare. Many owners carry a compact spare elsewhere, run a tire repair kit, or rely on roadside service—choose the backup plan that matches how you use your Expedition. Blake’s Platinum build prioritizes clean packaging and train horn performance in that same well.

Start with the Spare Tire Delete kits overview on HornBlasters for how the system is intended to work, then review the Spare Tire Delete Kit product page for specs, add-ons, and current inclusions. For the six-horn STD upgrade featured here, open the Shocker XL 6 Horn Upgrade Kit for Spare Tire Delete Kits listing for hardware details and finish options.
