I was checking to make sure my spare had enough air , and started to look at the jack that comes with it...
How the hell you use it, has a v shaped top portion.
I always use a regular jack for oil changes and what not, and if I ever need to use jack in AN EMERGENCY supplied by ford I'm screwed.

you dont

j/k If you do need to use it, get the handle out for it, stick it on the back and spin it around and it'll raise the jack up.

It notches into the jacking locations under your side skirt.

yeah like JR said it fits rather nicely into the notches under the car, and its rather good for what it is....its better than all my buddies factory Honda jacks (YES! Ford did something right!...they gave is a good jack)

does anyone else think its ironic that the best piece of factory equipment in our cars is one thats used to fix them after they break?

Ford: at least they circled the problem.

Ford does stuff like that..."we need to give em a good jack so when it breaks they can fix it"...."hey this here T5 tranny is crap....i know instead of usuing a better tranny we can program the eec to pull timing between shifts so they dont blow it up!".....bunch of idiots....
