I thought I read "somewhere" (maybe here) that Toyota was looking into this issue because of all the no spare tire complaints in the CC hybrids? Obviously it's something that the owner would have to buy on his own dime if they do indeed offer it, but none the less it's a start. Again this may all be a pipe dream and Toyota may be saying tough luck, but it sure would be nice if it's true!!

 

I have not seen a better option than this:

...the not-as-nifty do it yerself solution for half the cost here. At least strap lugs come with the car already.

 

As an aside, before we handed over the check for our January purchase of a CCH SE, I read the contract in detail and observed that there were five charges of $2.50 for the NY State required "Tire Disposal Fee".

 

There have been numerous threads in the General Discussion and the Hybrid Discussion forums about jacks while discussing spare tire options, and I am hoping all of the relevant information about jacks can be (or perhaps already has been) assembled in one thread. Specifically, I am looking for Toyota Part Numbers for which jack, floor jack handle, and wheel lug wrench are appropriate for the 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid. Here is what I have found so far, and welcome any comments or corrections if this is not correct. Note that dashes may or may not be included in the various part numbers, but I have included dashes to make part numbers easier to read.

JACK
For FWD models (non-hybrid) 09111-16060
For AWD models (not sure if this is for gas models only or for both gas and hybrid models) 091110-0A030
Question #1: What is the difference (if any) between these jacks, and are they are interchangeable?


There has also been a Tow Hook (51960-16030) discussed in many threads. As to whether or not a tow hook should be included with a Hybrid has also been discussed. I can't find a clear answer. Some Owners have successfully gotten one supplied to them. My dealer says no, but I haven't pressed the point. I popped the cover off of the Tow Hook cover in the front grill of my 2023 CCH SE and there is no threaded hole to even receive a tow hook! Am I missing something here? And, is there also supposed to be Tow Hook attachment point in the right rear bumper? I have what looks to be a removable access panel, but I have not tried to remove it yet.

In answer to question 1: It seems that 0911116060 is just the jack itself, while 091110-0A030 is the whole shebang--jack, tire iron, jack handle and tow hook. The thing to do is to start inputting different vehicles into online Toyota parts sites and seeing what jacks are available for which vehicles. It's going to boil down to the "cradle" shape on top. Perhaps other Corollas or even Rav4's use the same jack. Probably the most efficient way to find out is to talk to a Toyota dealership parts dept.

In that thread, CC Rider said they'd talked to Toyota Canada and a spare kit was going to come out there, but at an unknown time. Perhaps we'll be able to get in on that. The Video in that thread showed a guy retrofitting his Prius with a spare using Toyota parts. I asked him if it were a kit or parts he'd curated himself. He said it was the latter. "Hello, in this case Toyota already had the parts. The Prius comes with spares outside of America/Canada. I would check to see if the Cross has a spare in certain regions, if it does you should be able to locate Toyota parts and there may be mounting holes/fixturing already. If it does not you may have to get creative with after market parts."

 

also of note is paying attention to circumference of the spare

 

Here's something interesting. I have been looking at Toyota parts sites online and this one seems to give the most information. For the 09111-16060 jack, it lists which vehicles it fits after you input your vehicle info!

What makes me scratch my head is that it says it fits the 2023 Hybrid XSE but not the 2024 XSE (I input my car on another page) I thought they were virtually the same. Surely, they didn't change/move anything significant nor change the jack points on the car, did they? My manual does mention using "only the jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire. Do not use it on other vehicles and do not use other tire jacks for replacing tires on this vehicle." Now, that's a conundrum--use the jack that didn't come with this vehicle and nothing else.

See below. What makes me scratch my head is that it says it fits the 2023 Hybrid XSE but not the 2024 XSE (my car.) I thought they were virtually the same.

Toyota parts site seems to be incomplete for the 24 cross. Even more so for the XSE trim specifically. I wish they’d work on the site honestly.

 

As a follow-up to my original post, I looked at the jack points under my 2023 CCH SE. There is piece of metal with a short 90 degree bend along the bottom edge, sandwiched between the two pieces of the frame.

There are no indents or bumps to aid in alignment of a jack like I have seen in some videos about jacking a Rav 4. I searched but could not find any specific videos for jacking a CCH. If anyone has pictures of their jack for a CCH, I would be interested in seeing close-up pictures of the "cradle", as well as where the jack and its handle fits in the trunk. The line drawings of the jack on the Parts Websites are not very clear about the type of "cradle" to fit the jack points. Ebay has lots of OEM jacks, but haven't found this particular model number yet from a salvaged or wrecked CC. My main interest in having a jack is just in case I need one to remove a tire to have a flat fixed (such as if I discover a flat in my garage or driveway). The spare tire is another issue, and will be waiting and watching for a possible Toyota accessory or other solutions like the Modern Spare mentioned above.

Thickness of that pinch weld ?
Looks like Subaru scissor jacks already have deep slots in them. It also looks like the Corolla Cross lifting pinchwelds are 1.25” height by 3/8” width.
I normally use “slotted hockey pucks” with trolley jacks to prevent folding over tje pinch weld when lifting. There are various types of lifting “pucks” available depending on the shape of the lifting pump. Also remember to chock the wheels, use the parking brake, and to use jackstands if going underneath on a level surface (and shake the vehicle to verify it doesn’t come off and you aren’t going to be crushed)

 

The owner's manual says to align the center of the jack point with the center for the cradle.

 

Curious whether manual mentions ability to switch from adaptive cruise control to regular cruise control ? Thanks

 

Scissor jacks are for emergency use. Pickup a trolley jack (and wheel chocks etc) for doing seasonal tire changes

 

I have a '24 CCH SE.

"Question #3: " I don't know about other Toyota jacks, but one from a RAV4 or similar should work. I'm using a Subaru scissor jack that I tested AND it fits in the rear hatch 'stock' location. The jack just needs to be rated to lift the weight of one corner/ tire off the ground. The '24 CCH weighs about 3400#, so roughly a quarter of that? And it needs to lift the CCH high enough that the tire is not touching. For example, a jack for a Corrolla sedan may not lift it high enough. Jacks are readily available from a used parts/salvage/wrecking yard and can usually be returned if they don't work.

I also had a 21mm lug wrench that fits the CCH lug nuts. I'm going to pick up a temporary spare tire for a RAV4 or Sienna and throw it in back on road trips. I have Toyota's roadside assistance AND AAA service if needed for around town, but don't want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere (Idaho and Montana have a few spots like that!) and rely on Toyota's "emergency tire puncture repair kit" .

RE: Toyota's tow hook / 'towing eyelet'
On the '24 CCH SE there is NO Tow Hook bolt hole in the front OR back to screw a tow hook into - as noted in pics above. I spent (too much) time on the phone w/Toyota's 'support'* regarding getting a tow hook and they wouldn't help and neither would the Dealer's service/parts department. But before I bought one I checked under my front access panel - and nothing! That was a suprise, so the 'towing eyelet' as it's called, wouldn't do me any good.

*Toyota's support is just some nice people who get paid to look thru the Owner's Manual for answers, based on my one-time interaction. I didn't try to escalate the issue, so don't know how that would play out.


My Scissor jack is just like THIS:

Is it a regular screwjack that you’d commonly find at a parts store, or the single legged version that VW and Audi use? Also note (for readers) they’re meant for emergency use, and not for seasonal changeovers of wheels.

 

Thanks to all that have replied. I am not having much luck with my local Toyota Dealer's Part Department. According to them, based on my VIN number, my particular model or build version (MXGH15) of a 2023 CCH SE doesn't show any OEM jack suitable. That info just seems plain wrong. Numerous Toyota Parts websites show either the 09111-0A030 or 09111-16060 for a 2023 CCH SE.

The only "usage" for my MXGH15 is the repair kit.

I thought about looking at new non-hybrid models to see what type of jack they have, but it looks like for 2024 ALL Corolla Crosses (including the L, LE and XLE) now come with a repair kit only (no spares)

My next attempt was to find a 2022 or 2023 CC L or LE for sale used, and take a look at it's jack, and compare it's jack points to mine. Struck out twice there. First dealer didn't have the car on the lot, second dealer had the car, with a spare, but no jack to be found. The jack point looked similar to mine (but not nearly as clean of course)

If anyone has a Toyota jack that came with your CC and your CC has jack points the same as mine, I would really appreciate a close up picture of the business part of the jack and the sticker showing the jack part or model number. Specifically, does it have a depression where it meets the jack point, or an actual slot? The Owner's Manual diagrams (including mine) seem to indicate just a depression. If it is a slot, what is the depth of the slot? Less than the 1.25" inches of depth of my jack point?

 

I think the Toyota Owners Manual illustration is just a generic jack picture. I commend you for your diligence. I've been doing my searching online and I've come to the conclusion that the jack we need looks like this.

I actually had a '23 CC jack lined up from facebook marketplace, but the guy killed himself (no kidding!) before we completed the sale. As wtdash showed above, the Subaru jack worked for him. I think that as long as the jack a) fits in the space in the trunk, b) holds the appropriate amount of weight (jacks seem to be listed at 800 or 1000 kg on the stickers on the jacks), and has an appropriate groove for the jack point, it doesn't matter if it's a Toyota brand jack, or a CC jack. Below is a partial list of all the vehicles the jack pictured above fits. That being said, I'm still going to open a new thread and try to get a CC owner to photo their jack cradle.

 

We have a New Zealand new Corolla Cross hybrid FWD. As it was delivered in late March 2023 it is a MY22 model.
Photos attached.

 

Interestingly, I was expecting to see a notch in the middle for the pinch weld. Looks like I’d use a slotted hockey puck or a slotted scissor jack (the pinch welds on own vehicle are mangled from being jacked so often). From measurements of pictures, the existing double thickness pinch weld has approx 1.25” (3.175cm) height and the base is 3/8” (0.925cm) thickness (from driver side to passenger side). Does that match yours ?

 

Thank you Great Dane for the excellent pictures. I was not aware that a FWD version of a hybrid was offered by Toyota in other countries ... here in US, the only choice with a hybrid is AWD. The model number etched into your jack (09111-16041) brings the total up to three for possible Toyota brand jacks that should work with my 2023 CCH SE. I second wtdash's request that if it is not too much trouble, pictures of where and how the jack is stored in your vehicle. And, again if possible, pictures of your jack points to see if they are the same as mine. After seeing your jack's cradle, and the diagrams in the Owner' Manual, I tend to believe that the emergency jack is only intended to bear at the bottom of the jack point.

 

We do not get any petrol/gasoline models in NZ. All CC are hybrid as are the Yaris. Toyota NZ will no longer bring petrol/gasoline only models into NZ.
Photos are in another post in this line.

 

If you're inclined, I'd like to see how it fits in your CCH? Please provide a picture of it and how it mounts in your car.

Is there an error in this statement, "delivered in March 2023, it is a MY22 model". Unless, NZ uses some other designation for Model Year/MY. Usually new models in the US are introduced in our late summer>fall time frame, e.g. the new 2024 models arrive in the August-September of 2023. I don't know if that occurs in other countries??

The MY22 is the Toyota designation for all of the cars in 2022 and the early part of 2023. It was assembled in the factory in February 2023. Toyota Japan gave us almost weekly updatess on where it was even to the extent of when it left Japan.
New Zealand uses the date of registration as the basis of the cars year. In my fathers day (last century) it was common to buy a car in December (say 1973) and run it on dealer plates until January (1974) and it would be a 1974 model.

In respect of the spare. I could not find a size on it but it is potentially 17 inches. Ohotos attached. The jacking points are approx. four and half inches long x approx. one and quarter inches deep.

Thanks again, Great Dane! Your comments and excellent pictures have answered so many of my and others' questions. Hats off to NZ (and/or Toyota) for it's no "gas only" policy.

 

Thanks.
I had to find an old ruler with inches on it..

 

Thank you for going to the trouble.

 

Was anyone able to see the writing on the spare tire to see the width ratio and size?

The image above shows the Toyota jack with a slot, which helps prevent the pinch weld from folding over. Other Toyota forums who have ordered the scissor jack that have an image of a slot have received the version that is nearly flat on the top.

 

Interesting. Are these the instructions for installing a running board on European versions, or where to jack a European version with running boards? The two semi-elliptical cutouts in the jack points look similar to the jack points I have seen in videos for how to jack a Rav4.

 

 

https://www.rav4world.com/threads/jack-stinks.213506/

The scissor jack is suppose to fit on the pinch weld. However the pinch doesn't carry the load. The notch on top of the jack allows the pinch to be recessed while the load is carried by the flat part above.

Further in the thread, people use wood with slots in them or hockey pucks with slots in them, and plywood as a solid base for soft ground. Wheel chocks too, while on level ground.

Scissor jacks are meant for emergency use. 2 ton minimum to lift the almost 3500 pound Cross hybrid. If you’ve used a scissor jack, you’ll discover that 2 ton trolley jacks are more stable, and 3 ton trolley jacks are the most stable, especially with the height lifted.

Also determine whether you’re equipped to change a tire at night, in a rainstorm, or in a blizzard, or in a muddy field. Safety vest, rain gear, warm clothing, hazard lights, in traffic that kills tow truck drivers and EMS.

 

OEM Jacks from dealers are incredibly expensive (for something you may never use) and used ones are not that cheap either. I got frustrated looking at Toyota jacks and widened my search. I looked at jacks for vehicles that had a similar ground clearance to my CCH (so that the jack was designed to raise a high vehicle higher), weighed at least as much as a Cross. It also needed to have a "cradle" on top with a slot, look like it would fit in the designated space in the Styrofoam for a jack, came with a 21mm lug wrench and crank for the jack, and preferably was made in Japan (vs China.) The jacks have stickers on them that tell you some of these things. I bought one on ebay that lifts 1400kg. This one is a nope:

I'm waiting for the one I bought to be shipped and will test it on my Cross.
This one is a nope too:

 

UPDATE: I GOT A JACK! A neighbor turned me on to this website: Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market which is attached to the computerized inventories of auto 'recyclers' across N. America. I plugged in 2022-2024 Corolla Cross and got almost 30 listings, priced from $45 to $240. I called a couple of the places and asked for the price of it shipped to me (none were very close) and received my pristine jack w/ tools yesterday. I was a little nervous because it looks tall, but it fits perfectly in my trunk niche. It came off a LE AWD with front end damage.

It looks silver-ish in this photo, but it's shiny black.

 

Thanks for sharing your find! I will definitely be investigating some of the many offerings on that website.

 

I got an alternate design of the jack from a FWD gas CC from a scrapper and the jack fits fine in the plastic slot of the Hybrid AWD. It seems like the FWD and AWD jacks are interchangeable between the models for fit.

 

UPDATE: I now have a jack AND a spare.

Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread, and especially to CrossHybrid4Me and his tip about car-part.com. I initially went looking just for a jack, handle and lug wrench, and found many choices. After finding one from a 2022 Corolla Cross LE with 1100 kg rating, I then looked for a compact spare. Also found several from which to choose. Thanks to ansonl's post and link to his webpage, I decided I would rather find a T155/90 D17 instead of a T155/80 D17 because the overall diameter of the T155/90 D17 at 28" is the same as the 28" OD of my 215/65 R17 tires. The OD of the T155/80 D17 compact spare that came with pre-2024 non-hybrid Corolla Crosses has an OD of 26.8", or 1.2" less than the regular tires on my 2023 CCH SE. While either size would probably be fine for short term emergency use only, I opted for the slightly larger OD that matches my regular tires.

Cost? $50 for jack and tools, $50 for spare, plus $105 to ship halfway across the country. I'm pretty sure the seller added a small amount to the actual shipping cost, but it seemed fair for their time and trouble. A 3.5% service fee is added for credit card purchases, or a cashier's check was an option. I used a wire transfer method, after I found my bank could do that at no additional cost. There have been reports of mail delays in my Houston area, so didn't want to risk a lost or delayed check in the mail.

Seller? I chose M & M Service and Salvage Yard, Inc., located in Ruckersville, VA (north of Charlottesville). Very easy to communicate with via on-line chat and email. Their website is excellent and very easy to navigate. Thanks to ansonl's research about other compatible spares, I knew to look for a Honda CRV spare. On the car-part.com website, there is not a "Spare" category, but if you choose "Wheel", then the different options appear for different sizes, including compact spares. Some of their inventory comes from IIHS crash test vehicles, so the parts from those cars are virtually unused. The spare came from a 2021 Honda CRV (IIHS crash test car)

I could not find any part number on the jack, so not able to add any insight there. I did want one with the slightly higher rating of 1100 kg just in case I had a fully loaded vehicle if and when I need to use it.

I will probably keep the spare in the garage or the house, and only carry it along on longer road trips. Most of our driving is very close to home (under 25 miles), and I can find a way home to get the spare if needed.

For the CRV spare, I bought an unused CRV spare on Facebook Marketplace for $25.00 It came from a recent model CRV and seems the same size when compared side by side with the tires on my CCH. In my area there were several in different condition offered nearby, some including a cover.
