I really like the way older cars have manual windows, manual locks, and almost no computers. I always look at every component as something that can break. In my mind the less electronics the better. I have a 2023JLU Rubicon and a 1969 Jeepster commando.
It took me a while to find a toy hauler rated for a Jeep. I have a 40+ft trailer pulled by my F350 Duallie.
It is a Forest River Work and Play. Rated for 9300# cargo. 23 ft garage, 19ft front living quarters.

I run most of the time with no spare. I do a lot of rock crawling and not having the extra weight of the tire and carrier makes the rear end much lighter.
I do have a Shittybilt security drawer in the back with D-rings built into the corners. I strap the tire on top when I do take it.
