I do a 5 tire rotation on my truck. You don't want to end up with a ten year old spare. Esp. if towing. You'll also get app. 20% more miles before buying new tires. If you just want a four tire rotation just google it.

I rotate mine front to rear straight back and cross the rear to the front. Have done it that way for decades.

5 tire rotation works if the spare is the same size and has the same wheel... I have 4 tires the same, spares out for me. Then I just do like everybody else, rear to the front, fronts to the back and cross them or front to the rear and cross the last two.
