I went to Discount Tire and bought a spare tire and they found a used wheel. I paid a total of $350 I believe. A new wheel from Ford was $400-500 by itself, so wasn't doing that. I put the tire in one of the storage bays. You can put it on a hitch receiver thing, but if you use the receiver for something else, then out of luck. Pus I don't like how the ones look (angled). I couldn't find any other type of mount (even for bumper) that would support the weight of the tire/wheel. We have plenty of room for it to go in the bay and it was free.
If you don't have a spare, you will have to pay Good Sam for a spare. You will have to wait and you will have to overpay for it. You will then also have to pay up front $150 I believe it is for them to mount an un inflated spare on a wheel.
So you could sit for hours while they try to find you a tire and end up paying $400-500 to get a new spare tire and mounted. Or you can spend a little up front and be prepared. Then you r only wait time is for them to get tot you and change your inflated spare for you and at no additional cost.
