Changed a flat tire today using the full sized spare. When I went to put the flat on the spare tire holder under the truck it turns out the hub hole is too small for the spare tire doohickey to fit thru. The bed was filled with stuff so I had to stick it behind the front seat. Just wanted to vent about about the stupid design.

That's common with many vehicles.
