Full Size Spare Tire not coming on trims (that should)?

[anexracer]

Has anyone had any issue with not receiving a full size spare tire? I was just informed by my dealer rep that I have a space saver spare tire. I ran over a small bolt that punctured my tire on the shoulder edge tread which can’t be repaired. My Limited came with Dunlop tires which are 7-10 days out so they were going to put my spare on till the new tire gets here. Then they found the space saver in the tire well. I confirmed on Toyota’s site that my Limited- as well as several other trim levels- are equipped with a “Full size spare tire mounted under body”. I couldn’t find anything about a change in specs for spare tires so I put in a call to my selling dealer rep to see what she says.

I don’t think certain models get it. I know the Pro and TrailHunter does for sure. I’m gonna assume the SR5 doesn’t,

My limited (and others on the lot) had a 245/75/17 convenience spare on a steel rim underneath. Toyota definitely chooses words carefully - it is "full size" in the sense that it's the same outer diameter as the stock 265/55/20 tires, but it's still a convenience spare you wouldn't use for more than a short time.

Con confirm my Trailhunter came with a full size spare mounted underneath. It's the same bronze wheel as the rest.

Also full size on my OR. The same Falken Wildpeak A/T3WA (neutered A/T3W) 265/70R18 and machined silver rim wheel as the rest.
