Most Popular Tongue Jack for 2017 GMC Sierra 3500

I was extremely impressed with the recent technical and customer support from etrailer. Over the weekend, they answered my questions to select the appropriate replacement electric jack for my Airstream. Also, when there was a shipping delay (not etrailer’s fault), Rose provided prompt responses and professional support. I will continue to use etrailer for my RV needs.

Definitely has the power I need however I can't open my tailgate when my camper is hooked up. 5 stars for power.

Replaced stock Air Stream power jack which started making grinding noises. New 4,000 pound jack easy install and works fine. Using it to lift 25ft trailer and 2500hd Silverado to attach anti-sway bars. Had to mount it sideways due to propane tank cover, but it works great. Had one of these on a larger trailer that a hurricane destroyed. Nice unit and easy install.

Overall the product does exactly what it's intended for and works well. I however assumed that this would be a simple R&R for my camper and did very little installation research other that the video provided on etrailer' s website Sadly it did not fit. Not at all. I didn't take into account that have a double framed hitch toyhauler. The baseplate on the factory leg was a TRIANGLE.....this unit was ROUND. Also the primary shaft was thicker than stock and would not drop down into place I know modifying is frowned upon, but I found that ALL powered hitch legs I found have round mounting plates and it's not mentioned the leg tube is thicker than OEM? Since NOT having a power lift wasn't an option for this camper application...too heavy in the front when ATVS loaded to lift for setting the equalizer hitch tension bars, I proceeded to modify by cutting the rear rounded mounting base ... square. Took off about 1/2 inch. Then I took my metal Dremel sanding bit and increased the hitch leg hole diameter slightly. Took about 1 hr. Dropped it in. Wired it. Tested it. All good. If you can't post this I understand, but take note that some of your website descriptions may need to be enhanced. Thanks!

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."

Excellent Jack. Slow moving but that is due to high torque. Well made, attractive design. Highly recommended! Solved the problem of busting my knuckles on the propane tanks while cranking the old jack.

Great jack. Just what I needed to allow my tailgate to open while hooked up to my travel trailer

The bull dog electric tongue jack is awesome. I got it in white to match my trailer. I unbolted the old jack and bolted on the new one in about 5 minutes. (I had my coreless impact gun.) Total install time was about an hour mainly because I wired the jack to my battery inside the trailer that runs the electronic winch and I had to run a separate ground from the battery to one of the mounting bolts for the jack with a cut off switch. So far it works great but time will tell. I'll be using it a lot more next year.
