The 2017 GMC Acadia does have a spare tire located under the back bumper. It's a space-saving spare, not a full-size one, but it should help you get to a tire shop if you have a flat. Many car manufacturers are no longer including full-size spares to cut costs and save space. Most owners would rather have extra cargo room than a full-size spare, so they usually opt out of having one. It's important to regularly check your tires to prevent needing the spare.
The 2017 GMC Acadia is equipped with a small spare tire that is located underneath the vehicle right in front of the back bumper.
