Nice find - I'm going to hijack your thread and whine a little - my '13 came with an 18" spare - it's a platinum so it definitely would have had the platinum 20s - wtf - I heard not sure if it's true - if I put the 18 on one of the fronts and used 4wd I would have toasted that hub?

You found a real gem.
My dad ordered a regular cab 4.30 bare bones xl like yours in gem green, with appearance package. I have a bare bones xl crew cab with appearance package. Your truck is a pulling beast.
I wouldn't worry about the odd sized spare. The front axle is open, and as long as you don't use the e-locker, the rear end is too.
It may not be as big of a deal for you, but with my crew cab and having kids(1 being 3 now), it was very inconvenient to have to use the key to unlock the doors, especially since the rear doors don't have key holes and you have to reach around. I installed aftermarket keyless entry for around $65. It also acts as power locks from the front doors, if you wire it up correctly. Another nice add on is the factory fog light kit. It really helps the appearance of the front end and they are very functional at giving off extra light close to the truck.
A aftermarket hitch would be much cheaper, and they are easy to install. That price is ridiculous.

Yes, it was a special order from the Kentucky Plant...printed in big bold letters on the bottom of the window sticker. Really happy with it, just ordered wheel well liners and front and rear flaps...the joys of something new to work on!
Is there a way to decipher the build date? There is a string of alpha numeric at the bottom:
EH131 N RB 2X 515 001864 08 13 14
I'm thinking, actually wife is thinking, the last six numbers are the date? 8/13/14 would be Wednesday...

TL;DR wheel size of your spare doesn’t matter, tire size does.
