In this post, we are going to address a subject that can be of use to everyone. If it’s because you have a flat tire, or you want to replace your brake pads, knowing where the jack is on a Isuzu D-Max is important. In actual fact, without the jack, you won’t have the ability to lift your car and therefore replace a wheel, or, access the components behind it such as the brake pads for example. To achieve this, we will first explain the different types of jacks, then, where the jack is on an Isuzu D-Max, and finally, how to use the jack on your car.

What are the different types of jacks for Isuzu D-Max?

So we begin our content page with the different types of jacks that exist. In actual fact, although generally speaking most Isuzu D-Max will be equipped with the same kind of jack, there are still different styles with different uses, here they are:

  • The single-arm screw jack for Isuzu D-Max : The first type of jack, the most classic and cheapest of all, is generally discovered on entry-level models, or with few options. This kind of jack has just one articulated arm that is placed under the car to lift it. This kind of jack is light, easy to use, but does not allow you to lift large loads.
  • The double-arm screw jack for Isuzu D-Max : It uses precisely similar basic principle as the jack seen earlier, that is, a worm screw that will allow screwing to raise the jack, and unscrewing to lower it, nevertheless the use of a double arm will allow to have a more stable jack that can lift a higher payload.
  • The hydraulic jack for Isuzu D-Max : This kind of jack is not standard equipment on vehicles, and is usually just provided with a premium model or bought in car centres. These jacks are heavier, generally less bulky and have the advantage of being much easier to utilise and able to lift a larger load. It would cost between 20 and 50 euros to buy them, here is a simple and effective model from Oscaro.
