It’s the rear axle vent tube. Should be clipped up high on the frame cross member. The white piece in the hose is a check valve.

It’s a tracking device. Google & Facebook like to know what you are up to.

If so, yay!

This is a great tip for everyone. A hot day when you are already angry at a blown tire is not the best time to figure out how the whole spare tire hanger system works, or to find out things are rusted and sticky. Or worse yet that the place that added your tow hitch did so in a way that will not allow you to lower the spare tire – Don’t ask me how I know these things !!!!

This reminds me I need to find a way to get my spare down without a key lol. No, none of the YT videos helped.
