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

This is a pretty good approach! You still have access to much of the trunk and can also fold down the seats for more space if needed. And if Toyota ever releases the spare tire kit this existing spare should work.

...and there's fitted storage slots for the jack & tools already in the car (in the foam block under the deck). Btw, the surface of the spare with cover is stable for grocery bags, suitcases etc, so losing some vertical space in the trunk is no crisis.

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.

Added pic. Thanks

The owner's manual says to align the center of the jack point with the center for the cradle. View attachment 1801

Thanks for the picture. I am having these issues with Corolla Hybrid SE... comes with no jack... just gunk can. However, lift points appear to be there, as pictured in your diagram and the
post above. Got a slotted aftermarket jack from Amazon... and a Corolla Cross jack from ebay (ordered)... looks like the one in your picture. The SE is a bit lighter than the Cross
so this should work just fine.

I think Toyota did this to 1) save money (cut costs) and 2) save weight (more acceleration and gas mileage). Fine until you have a blowout... then NOT so fine.

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.

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 ?

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??

 

[retirednongeek]

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.

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.

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.

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.
