Jack Location
Extended Cab
• The scissor jack and tire changing tools are
stowed in a compartment under the rear
passenger seat.
Crew Cab ®
• The scissor jack and tire changing tools are
accessed by lifting up the rear passenger
seat.
• The jack is secured in place by turning the
jack screw until the jack is secured into
place.
• A finger-operated helper tool is provided to
assist removal and stowage of the jack. This
tool must be removed to operate the jack for
changing the spare tire.
Spare Tire Stowage
• To remove the spare tire, remove the jack-handle components from the storage
compartment and assemble them.
• Attach the wheel wrench to the jack extension tube and insert the tube through the
access hole in the rear bumper and into the winch mechanism tube.
• Rotate the wheel wrench handle counterclockwise until the spare tire is on the ground
with enough cable slack to allow you to pull it out from under the vehicle.
• When the spare is clear, tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and pull it through the
center of the wheel.
