Dealer Told me that Toyota isn't building any Siennas with a spare tire at the moment

I've been looking for an XLE (because I want 8 seats and Keyless entry) for a few months now. I specifically want the factory installed spare tire option because I've had bad experiences with potholes and it makes no sense to have a family (or any) car without one. I've been speaking to a few dealers and while they have Sienna XLEs available to purchase for MSRP (with around a 2 month wait time for delivery), none have had one with a spare tire. I'd also love the 1500W Inverter with Two 120V AC Outlets which only comes with the XLE Plus Package, but really don't want any other packages/options that hike the price too much (TOYOGUARD Platinum, Paint Protection, Entertainment System, Built-In Dashcam, etc.).

The last dealer I spoke to said that Toyota currently isn't building any with the spare tire option, so I decided to check all over the country using SmartPath to see if that was true. The only dealerships that had Siennas with a spare tire are part of the Southeast Toyota distributer network which adds on a bunch of stupid options to every single car to jack up the price.

I don't mind waiting, but does anyone know if it's even possible to get a Sienna in the northeast with a Spare Tire from the factory anymore? Has anyone had any luck reserving one with their preferred options and getting lucky with an allotment or ordering one from the factory through a dealer? I'm trying to figure out if I should just get one without a spare and buy one to keep in the trunk, but I don't love that idea.
