I don't know how many uses it has, however, it is the cheapest jack that I have ever used. I would never trust the jack enough to get under the car.

2004 Dodge Ram, 1988 Toyota Truck are two examples of jacks that exceeded the minimum requirement to lift the vehicle for a tire change.

If you noticed, my post said make and model of "CAR". Those 2 you listed are not cars.

My '05 GTO's car jack was better, and so was the temporary spare; sillythang was a spoked aluminum wheel instead of the usual stamped steel.

Overall, still much more pleased with the Yaris though.

If you noticed, my original post stated that the Yaris had the cheapest jack that had ever used. Why don't you make a list of OEM jacks that are inferior to the Yaris jack?

1990 Ford Ranger
1995 Honda Accord
2009 Accura TL

All of these jacks are the same quality or worse than the Yaris. I bet the Yaris is the cheapest car you have ever bought too.

I bought one of these hydraulic trolley jacks for $25 to get the car up high enough to put axle stands under the car for safety when working on it. the car jack that actually comes with the car is close to useless as its so flimsy it can be dangerous.

get one of these.

You should never get under any car only held up by a jack. That's what Jack stands are for.

I've never attempted to use the OEM jack on this car. I use aluminum racing jacks.
