Most Popular Tongue Jack for 2008 Toyota Sienna

I have had problems with inadequate clearance between the lift gate of my Ford F150 and tongue jack motors on prior travel trailers. Some lifts allow the motor to be rotated sideways, but the bulky Lippert that came with my new Winnebago TT didn't. The Bulldog is made to be mounted either forward or sideways and has a particularly narrow body. Installation was a snap, and I drilled holes to rotate the bubble level to be aligned fore and aft. I opted not to use the clever Plunger Pin Kit which is mounted to be pulled from the side because when the unit is mounted sideways, the pin with its fairly stiff spring would have to be deployed and operated either fore or aft beneath the hitch or the tongue assembly. So I am using the original lynchpin assembly for the drop leg. Now I have plenty of clearance between the Bulldog lift, the F150 drop gate and the propane tanks and cover.

I am extremely pleased with everything about the purchase. The jack was described very accurately, I had a question before delivery about the fit on my R-Pod which was answered very thoroughly and the jack arrived on time. The installation was quick and easy. The jack operates very smoothly. The features of the LEDs, the quick pull pin for the drop foot and the bubble level are perfect for my application.

This is a quality made jack, super easy install, lifts my trailer with ease, I like the fact that it has a backup handle Incase of dead battery. I used a different fuse holder, I'm not a fan of glass tube fuse, the contact area is minimal compared to blade style, and I keep spares of that style being that is what my truck and trailer both use.

The Stromberg Jack was delivered on time with all the parts needed and has worked great. I appreciate that etrailer does a one year review unlike others that ask for a review the day it arrives. When I need to order Rv parts I always try to use etrailer

Item arrived a day earlier & in good condition! & was a very easy install ,& is a upgrade from manual one that broke at the handle ,& this is a upgrade for my 2008 22'Airstream Safari! Can't wait for my next outing, Also I like that it comes with a backup manual hand crank in case you need it,& that it was a exact fit for my travel trailer,It's a complete package that needs nothing else.

The alternate power setup makes its slow rate of rise necessary which would be good if my lithium batteries went low. To avoid battery problems be sure to add an inline battery disconnect from the trailer power when using tow vehicle power. I simple added an inline fuse that could be removed should I need to use the tow vehicle power.

I was amazed at how quickly my replacement from etrailer arrived. I was a bit worried that the installation of my new jack would be more difficult that I expected. The reverse proved to be the case, it was very simple to place the trailer tongue on jack stands, remove the old jack and install the new one. As the old saying goes "even a cave man could do it."

The CargoBuckle G3 ratchet tie-down straps and 45 degree mounting brackets worked great. Makes loading and unloading a breeze.

This jack was the perfect solution for my application. I have a new enclosed trailer that came with a manual crank and only a tiny battery to run the lights. I did not want the expense of having to buy and cable up a larger battery to just support the tongue jack. Took me 5 minutes to install this new jack using the three bolts that were already on my OEM jack. Now I just back up my truck, plug in the 7-way, and I'm able to move the tongue up and down as needed. Great!

The bolt pattern matched my trailer so it was very easy. No skill needed. I soldered a connection on and hooked it directly into the battery. I had to drill a hole for my foot extension. So far so good. 23 foot travel trailer.
