Yeah, dump the "full size spare." It's not the same size as your other tires anyway. Instead, find someone who's selling their take-off steelies (listed in the marketplace in this forum), and buy one of those.
What size is it?
I believe these won't fit where the factory spare sits, but that's just something I've read so I take it with a grain of salt.
I had "full size" spare on my order too, but decided to remove it when I modified my order removing constraint items last week. Originally I thought it was a great upgrade from the donut type but after realizing it won't allow 5 wheel rotations and has been constrained before I cut it. Same with my SIBL, splash guards and all weather floor mats. Those were all well within my allowed budget so I thought just get em from the factory. Now I just want my truck by end of the year.
I don't have it off hand but a search in here should find it
I have all those constraints too. Although I did not think the spare was one if them. Regardless when I put in my 23 order I will remove all of them. 1k is alot of money when you add up those items.
The spare has been in short supply at various times. I'm not keeping a running count of which options are officially declared a constrained item (usually after the fact) and am actually glad new information came to light after I included them in my order. Full Size Spare that actually isnt, mud guards that rub paint off the body, SIBL contracted out off site with potential human errors damaging gas tank causing recall and long waits for new tanks, and floor mats sets that are sometimes constrained were easy removals. The only deal breakers for me were Ecoboost, AWD, and 4k Tow package, so as long as I get those the skinny invoice is NBD for me
Without those the Maverick doesn't check enough boxes for my needs and I would be more interested in waiting to check out the 6th Generation Ranger.
