The way the torque transfers through the diff makes the right rear the
main drive wheel as well as the left front. I think it has to do with
the pinion angle, but could be off on that.
That is one reason the spare goes to the RR and the RF goes back to the
spare in a rotation. The 3 tire rotation on the drive tire side matches
the two wheel swap on the other side for wear.
They do make some vehicles with 'left tire' drive. They normally have a
'LT' logo on them. I first thought that was a dumb way to say 'light
truck' on the side of a pickup, then learned about their Left Tire drive.
