I had that one. My driveway is between 3 and 4 degrees incline. One day, the HF 1.5 ton jack bent over sideways and the car got stuck on the jack! The blue frame of the jack had bent where the lift could not come down. I had to take another jack and lift the car up on the same side and pull the now broken HF jack out and then use wood blocks to get clearance so I could get the bigger jack out from under the car. I needed a racing jack, so settled on the HF 2 ton jack, which has a better front wheel assembly and has the blue frame twice as thick as the 1.5 ton jack As far as I can tell, the 2.5 ton jack uses the same frame as the 2 ton, with a larger hydraullic cylinder. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the car or me. The 2 ton jack has worked fine many times since.

Specifications say it is 19 inches long, 9 in wide. The handle is 34in. weight, 34 lbs. Sounds like it would fit.

I have this jack and just tried it - Yes...it easily fits in the Frunk. Just need to take the handle off.

That said...I don't like this jack myself. Yes, it works and I have used it a bunch over the past 2-3 years. But it will be getting replaced this summer with something nicer/larger. Probably the 2 ton version.

If you buy from HF, be sure to bring the 20% off coupon found in most auto related magazines.

This is the jack I use at the track. Works great and easily portable.

No need for that. Simply use the phone and search for "harbor freight coupon". Usually the first result is this 20% off coupon in pdf format.
