No doubt about it you certainly would have to unload things from the bed to get to the spare tire, just like Honda Ridgeline owners have to do. But I once had a flat at night time with a Chevrolet Colorado and it was a pain in the rear end to get the spare out from under the truck on a rural road with no street lights. I just threw the flat tire in the bed after I had changed tires. It’s obviously a personal preference thing. The in bed storage gets my vote instead of under the bed.In all honesty, I feel like it wont be very long before someone offers a rear bumper with spare tire mount. THIS option will solve both of your dilemmas and also create a cool look as well.
I am all for this option. Although in the meantime, I think I prefer the standard pickup truck scenario as opposed to the bed floor access door. I don'twant to have to empty the bed to get the spare out.
