How do you remove spare tire
I can't find any thing about how to remove the spare tire from under the truck. I see there a 1" hole in the bumper that lines up to a plastic pipe that goes to the center of the rim. Did truck come with a tool?

The owner's manual explains it all. There should be a rod under the engine bay hood, usually near the front of the radiator shroud. Then there is a "key" that hooks onto the end of the rod. The rod/key apparatus is inserted through the bumper hole to turn a screw which lowers the tire to the ground. Probably some videos on youtube as well.

Fixed. Thanks. There was no manual or spare tire key that came with truck. I put the jack rod into the bumper hole (no Key needed) I was able to lower the tire with no problems. I can't believe that worked.
