I have seen this one, thankfully when I found out about the key on the end of the crank rod the AAA driver told me where to look. Mine's an 03. Rumor has it, spare theft is a big problem near where some of these trucks are designed.
First time I used AAA was also a truck and a flat. I had the jack out, the bolt holding the spare wasn't frozen and I got it loose, and I had the factory lug wrench, and one of those aftermarket 4-way wrenches. And just COULD NOT get the lugs to budge, even standing on the wrench with a cheater bar. The driver had one of the cordless impacts that were only just starting to show up on the market...worked slick.
My most common reason for calling is dead batteries, either due to stupidity (leaving a light on/door open) or cold (at 10 below, it doesn't take much to kill one). I've had a couple of tows for alternators and such. I had one where the company ate the tow fee because I agreed to use their garage instead of the chain further away (and they did a good job, I've had them do other stuff for me since).
