I wonder who’s Idea @ GM or AM was to put the spare tire inside…

Personally I do not like the tire on the back, I don't like the look and I don't want to swing the tire out to get to the trunk, which is very often. Obviously I am not the only one, because most Hummers do not have the spare on the back. Cost of the rear tire rack was not the issue.

Those who like the spare on the back simply paid the price and bought the rack, a simple solution and not that much money for this vehicle MSRP. There was no reason for Hummer to add the cost and rack to all owners, most do not want the back rack.

If you are the Hummer design chief, what would you do? Do you have a better idea? I certainly cannot find a better location for the spare and I have no issue with the spare tire.
