I don't think any place would stock this 1 jack specific for just 1 model.

I think the best is Junk yard. 2nd of cause is dealer them self.

With that said though, if I had a jack out of a Hyundai Excel (which states on it to use it only on a Hyundai Excel), I most likely would follow what the label says. Not saying it wouldn't lift my Toyota; I just wouldn't trust it. Last thing I want is the threads on the jack shearing and then have my car minus a wheel come slamming to the ground.
I agree with U on the load rate. I think they make them standard like the material of the jack and the thread on that screw. But I wouldn't take my Camry jack to go help a trucker to jack up his truck. The idea so stupid that it's not likely even cross my mind. But if my wife 4 door Corolla need to jack up and I already have my Camry jack handy, I'm sure I will use my Camry jack. I think all jacks come with 4 door cars should be able to handle all 4 doors car (in the same class).
