Can't be too hard to just mount a wheel carrier in the bed, or swinging on the rear, and just use that spot as extra storage though. I don't know a single off-roader who doesn't mod their vehicle in similar ways to make up for perceived shortcomings.

Um... yeah. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a truck.


You stand them upright so you've still got plenty of space in the bed. It's very common here in Australia.


Sure, but one begins to wonder how much knowledge this company has of actual usage if they get something this straightforward wrong.


If they are targeting sales to a small number of large fleets, this doesn't matter. In fleet operations, the driver will never ever be allowed to change a tire. This is simply not acceptable, insurance-wise. You will dispatch a second truck to handle the delivery and also a tire repair service truck.

An electric delivery truck is probably not even in the cards for small players, where gas or diesel is a better option all around.


Didn't someone give a big list of trucks that already do this, last time it came up?
