Do I have a full size spare or one of those temp type spare?
Am I being lazy for not climbing under truck to see what kind of spare I have? Is that info found on some website or manual? Also, if it is a temporary type spare, do you know if I could fit a full size, good real one in that space?
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your comments.

It's a full size on a steely. I don't believe any full size trucks come with donuts

A spare tire isn’t any good if it’s flat - pull it down and check it and you will see what size it is.

I have a new 2018 F150 bare bones with steely wheels but I see an alloy wheel as a spare. (???)

You need to check the tire to ensure it’s in good shape, at least.
I went thru the process of lowering it just so I knew what I was doing if the need arose on the side of the road.

I used to be a heavy equipment operator instructor and also taught new hires our way (the state way) to operate the big plow trucks. I made each and every one of them put chains on the trucks while we were in the warm garage. Things are a whole lot different in a snow storm at night with a flashlight in your mouth.

I should do it more often but I check mine by lowering it once every 3 years and at the same it spray the rim with fluid film to prevent any rusting of the steel rim. But I do couple times a year kneel down and hit the tire to make sure it full.
