Do you rotate four tires or include the spare and do a five tire rotation on the Bronco?

Unless you put so many miles on your tires that they need to be replaced in a few years, your spare tire, if left unrotated, will quite possibly still need to be replaced with the other four due to age even if there is zero wear.
I rotate all 5. It is a good way to ensure the spare is in good condition (inflated, no punctures) in the event you need it.
Just make sure to eat your Wheaties before getting that last tire rotated onto the spare carrier

Lots of threads on this one, I'm too lazy to type my opinion again but here are my thoughts :

Always. Why leave a tire to dry rot on the tire carrier? You will also get more tire life by adding the spare into the rotation since you are wearing 5 tires versus 4.

I just went through this during my first service. Be aware your spare does not have a TPS. Hope it helps.

I’m pretty sure all 5 have TPMS…

I'm sorry sir, that is in correct. All 5 have sensors and the bronco has a smart system, so no need to 're-learn' tire location. It does it all on its own.

All 5 of my wheels have TPS in them, I have done the 5 tire rotation 3 times now and they definitely all have the sensors.

I would rather have a new, clean tire on the back for a spare and trade it in when the time comes for new tires.

I guess the service advisor was full of sh!t. My apologies and good to know for the future. Thx.
I rotate all 5, with 1 exception. My set of 37s is 4 + a used mismatched 5th, so it doesn't get mixed in.
Just got mine done at the dealership and basically straight out of the manual, service tech said they only rotate four due to the spare never being used and a different diameter than the other four, and to just use the spare in case of flats
Every 5k miles oil change and 5-tire rotation. Currently 42k miles and these General Grabbers still have a great amount of tread on them. When these 32's wear out I'm moving up to 35's.
