I've got the spare on my Dodge, Chevy, and Ford 3/4 ton trucks - all mounted on the front. Easy to get to - but I'm sure many people wouldn't like the looks. For me, they are work trucks and I'm not worried about cosmetics. I find it handy for a few reasons. My equipment trailer takes 8 lug, 16" wheels/tires - the same as all my trucks. So, I've always got a trailer-spare with me, if needed. Also, it makes a nice cushion in front when I want to push a dead car or tractor.
I used to see a lot of trucks around with front-bumper mounted spares - but not much anymore. In fact, the last time I tried to order a front-mount kit from J.C. Whitney, they backordered it - and then said it was discontinued. So, I made my own. I'll also add, that I've checked fuel mileage closely, and had no drop in mileage with the spare in front. With my Ford F250 and Dodge W200, I had to remove the original spare under-mounting anyway since I installed oversize diesel tanks underneath.
