Where to place jack change a tire on 2000 ford exployer?

The jack points on a 2000 Ford Explorer are generally located on the side frame rails, near where the pinch weld meets the body. There will be a reinforced area. Do not jack up the vehicle on the plastic rocker panels or body panels themselves; these are not strong enough to support the weight of the vehicle.

To be absolutely certain:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the definitive source for jack point locations on your specific vehicle. It will show diagrams and specify the correct points.

* Look for stamped indentations or reinforced areas: These markings often indicate suitable jack points.

* Avoid areas with exposed metal or sharp edges: You'll want a stable, flat surface for the jack's contact point.

Important Safety Note: Always engage your parking brake firmly before jacking up the vehicle. Use jack stands for added safety once the vehicle is slightly raised. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
