I'm going to put the spare in the truck. After reading about the marks on the spare and then checking the spare on our new 3124, I've decided to take it off and put it in the back of our GMC Sierrra. The difficulty of pulling the spare out while the TM was in the driveway with the stablizing jacks down convinced me that it would be very difficult to remove the spare on the side of the road with a flat tire. Getting it out of the pickup would be a 'piece of cake' compared to that.
