JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
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.
