I took the snow tires off today. Would have happily taken it to a garage since changing tires on the pickup is not as quick as on my wife's Subaru, but I wanted to see how the OEM jack worked, in case I had to do it on the road one day. The jack is a 'cute' little thing. Cute is the right word: until I put it on a 2 inch thick wooden block I couldn't get the front tire off the ground.
Oh, it does come with wheel chocks, but I'd trade those for a taller jack.
I posted to the Colorado/Canyon forum and I am evidently not the first to make this discovery. I guess it's one way to avoid lawsuits resulting from jack failure ....
(Put just over 18,000 km on the snow tires this winter, all of those miles with roof racks and about 15,000 of them with my iceboat on top for an overall avg fuel consumption of 10.5l/100km, about 21.5 USMPG)
