It's under the driver's seat. Check your manual for location and how to get it out. It can be a bit tricky.

It's under the driver's seat. Move seat all the way forward to get a good look at it. And it's not a real great jack. I used mine once to put the spare on. I was on level ground and it didn't seem too stable. On a slope it'd probably start to bend like the one in my VW Golf did.

I've used the jack many times already to change and rotate tires. It's a cheap jack, but it does the job and there's nothing wrong with using it frequently as long as you use safe procedures like you should with any jack. |

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.

I am wondering where is the thing you use to turn the jack. Its not in the factory location like the manual says unless I am blind. I am getting tired of using the lug wrench.

Yours might be missing. Mine was in the black box to the right of the spare tire.

I used it once and I would agree that it sucks, on level ground I had to put so much force that the jack started to twist. It just dosn't seem to have the same mechanical advantage as the jack in my honda. Get a good floor jack and use stands if you are going under the car.

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

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