I just emailed this to Slate:

Spare tire (mini-spare) in the footwell area at the font of the bed?

I hate the idea of driving without a spare. I also hate the idea of hanging a spare off the rear of any vehicle (begging for major repairs even in a minor rear-ender).

Ideally I'd like to see Slate offer a spare (or space-saver) that fits directly behind the cab using the foot well area that's reserved for the SUV but with a cover that allows the spare to store vertically with a little hump visible through the rear window?
