Is that where the jack is to be used? I'm just curious if the owners manual specifies a different location as I doubt a wood block is actually required.

Are you guys nuts? Re-read my opening post. Look at this picture and tell me this jack is safe for use in an "emergency" on the road.

Does the jack reach the axle and lift it high enough to remove a wheel on level ground?

If this is the best GM can do I might be rethinking looking at the new Colorado as a replacement for my Cherokee.

If one eliminates a vehicle because of something like that, I'd surmise they're looking for an excuse not to purchase it in the first place. At least a jack is included -- more and more vehicles are simply provided with a can of fix-a-flat.

You guys should see the widowmaker they give you with Audis.

And it seems as though anyone else with an ounce of common sense has replied to reiterate that the jack is for emergencies only. If you're working on your vehicle in the garage, driveway, etc., you should be using a floor jack with jack stands. No excuses.
