This is a good jack. It's slightly longer lower than the equivalent but more expensive Daytona jack. This fits under then engine of my 911 (which is low!).
Will this lift up my 2016 Tacoma truck so that I could rotate tires. My old jack seems to be designed for sedans and doesn't have the necessary height.

You'll need a normal jack, likely a heavy duty one, not low profile.
Also, to be sure, measure from the ground to the support rail under your truck and pick a jack that extends at least 6 inches beyond that. Otherwise you'll need to use 2x4s or something similar to add the height needed.
This is way too heavy duty for my needs, as I don't have a garage or shed to store it in and keeping it in the trunk is out of the question. We only have cars, not SUVs or trucks, so it would be overkill too. But I did just order a smaller and lighter Craftsman floor jack from Sears, that I decided on after extensive research, and will be picking it up today, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. The one review claims that it takes way too many pumps to lift, at 1/4" each, but when I recently tried it out in the store it seemed to lift 1/2" or so with each pump, which seemed reasonable. Its range is 3.5"-15", and weighs around 30lbs.

same on my vette but, it's super heavy and the one I have is starting to fall..I think it might be low on fluid though.

You will regret buying that small jack imho. Many retailers sell that same jack under various brand names. I own one and it's small pad head and narrow base are too inadequate to be safe.

I bought this jack because the aluminum low profile jack that I used for my Honda Accord wouldn't lift my small SUV high enough to get tires off the ground for rotation.
As other poster mentioned, measure rail height + 6" and see if that's less than the 9-5/8 in max lift of this jack.

And it won't lift 1/2" per pump when it's under weight. You'll be pumping. For. Ev. Er.
Hmm. The weight and size constraints are non-negotiable for me, simply because of storage limitations. It'll have to go either in the trunk or be lugged up and down a set of stairs. Anything much bigger and heavier would simply not work out for my current needs. If I did have a garage or shed, then I'd definitely get a heavier jack, like this one, or the one that Costco sells. But, simply not feasible right now.
I'm only going to be using it to lift the car long enough to place jacks under it, so it won't have to support it for long. If the pad is too small, how could it even be safe to sell? I'm hoping to use it to lift the car's front and rear center lift points, but if that doesn't work, then just behind or ahead of its pinch weld lift points. Neither would be safe with this? Would a wide hard rubber pad make it safer?
As for # of pumps needed to lift the car, if it's really that slow, then that may be an issue. I assume that Sears will take back a slightly used but otherwise unscuffed jack if it doesn't work out for me. I'll know very quickly if it will or won't. I'll probably test it out in the parking lot in fact and return it right away if it's unsuitable.

This looks the same as model 61282.
Also looks like shipping is only 8 bucks for this jack. For 8 bucks I'll let UPS deal with lifting this

Berry helpful reply. Thank you.
