The Ford Transit Connect comes equipped with a tire jack and tools to replace a flat tire. To get to the jack, push the passenger seat forward using either the power control button or manual bar located by the door. Underneath, there is a metal storage box covered with fabric secured by Velcro. Raise the fabric cover to reveal the jack and release it by loosening its rubber belt. The jack handle and lug wrench can be found in the storage compartment by the step well on the side of the passenger seat base. Open the compartment by pulling on the two recessed slots, then unbuckle the straps securing the handle in a pouch to access and assemble the jack.

I located the darn jack behind the panel on the back left side of the cargo area in a 2020 Connect van. However, I'm unable to find the towing recovery bolt to pull the van out of the ditch.

The 2020 Connect's jack is located at the rear driver's side behind a removable panel. All the necessary tools are stored there. The jack points, marked with a down arrow (∇), can be found on the side rails. To properly lift the vehicle, place the scissor jack at the arrow below the pinch seam running between the wheels. It is recommended to have a larger 2 or 3-ton floor jack in the van for easier lifting. Consider purchasing a 4-point lug wrench for better leverage, especially if you have wheels larger than 18 inches. If your wheels are larger, you may need to modify the 2-ton jack or keep a 4-ton jack in the van at all times. The smaller jack may not lift the van high enough for wheel servicing.

As an American, I would rephrase the text as follows:
"We've decided to completely remove the spare tire from underneath the van, including the cable that secures it. Instead, we discovered a suitable spare tire on the RoadKillCustoms website - a 2005 Thunderbird spare that can handle the van's weight. It's recommended to use a better tire than the Maxxis ones, as they have a tendency to explode in car trunks. After ensuring the replacement spare matches the bolt patterns and center bore, we made space inside the van's passenger side cargo area. By removing the plastic molding and installing a Ravorback spare tire mount, we created a spot for the Thunderbird spare to sit flush and easily accessible from the sliding door. Just to update you, a few weeks ago we had to use the balloon spare due to getting 2 nails in our 245/40/R19 tires. The spare fit perfectly without any issues. -
I own a 2020 Ford Transit Connect cargo van that closely resembles a truck. I struggle to remove the scissor jack due to the flimsy plastic fasteners securing the lug wrench mounting points, which I fear will eventually break. Lowering the tire requires a 13 mm Allen wrench that fits a 13 mm bolt, making the process challenging. Replacing the tire is difficult as well, as it's a tight fit. I wish the tire was stored in a compartment like in some cars, possibly with a cable system for easier access. To lower the tire, I improvised by using a long 13 mm nut typically used for connecting rods, allowing me to use a ratchet wrench.
