Specs:
A trailer jack is designed to lift the tongue of your trailer so you can connect the trailer coupler to your hitch ball. To do this, you'll need a jack with a lift capacity high enough to handle your trailer's tongue weight.
Tongue weight is the amount of weight that your trailer applies to the back of your tow vehicle. Typically, your tongue weight should be 10-15% of your total trailer weight (trailer + cargo). In other words, a 10,000-lb trailer would have a tongue weight between 1,000 lbs and 1,500 lbs. For a trailer this size, you would need a jack with a lift capacity of at least 1,500 lbs.
It's okay to have a jack with a weight rating that is higher than your trailer's tongue weight. In fact, a jack with a higher lift capacity should operate more efficiently, allowing you to spend less time cranking and more time camping.
Every jack offers a certain amount of lift or travel. Screw travel is the distance the jack extends when you crank it (or toggle it to "extend" on an electric model). Some jacks include a drop leg for extra adjustability. On these jacks, you'll see the maximum extension of the drop leg listed in the specs as well. Adding the screw travel and drop leg travel together will give you the total lift. The total lift listed above can help you determine how high this jack will be able to raise your trailer.

Bought this powered jack to replace the non-functioning electric jack that came with the camper we bought 6mo ago. We’ve been using the manual override on the old one, so having a working jack is going to be great:) Just installed this new unit yesterday, so have only used at home so far, but it seems to work very well. Speed is good. It has the drop leg with spring pin for quick adjustment which is cool. It has a built in light which is fairly bright and should come in handy for setting up at night. Installation was very easy. Literally had the old jack removed and new one in place in about 20mins and that included getting the jack stands set up. The hole in the A-frame was big enough for the larger diameter tube of the Bulldog unit, so no fitment problems. I’ve got photos showing the old unit and new. Forgot to take one with the jack removed. There was additional time wiring, but it was only another 20mins or so. Most of that time was spent deciding on routing and zip tying the wire. There is only one wire that hooks up to the battery positive post and there is an internal breaker in the unit so you don’t wire in an external fuse. Heads up there are no wire terminals in the kit, so you will need to have your own to crimp onto the wire. You’ll need a 10ga connector, likely a 5/16 or 3/8 ring terminal but could vary depending on your battery. The wire lead could have been another 12” longer, but it was just barely long enough to reach the positive post after I flipped the battery around to put the positive post on that side of the frame. Also should note that this unit has a dual mounting pattern that allows for turning the head unit 90deg to face sideways, which is what I ended up doing. Facing forward, the head of the jack was really tight up against the propane bottles/cover, so turning it sideways fit much better with our camper. Looks to be well built, so hoping it lasts a long time, and I’m looking forward to not using a manual override crank next time we go camping!
Great product, received it quickly, easy directions to follow. EASY to 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!
I ordered the Reese Bulldog 4000lb power tongue jack on 6/2 and received it on 6/6, my second order from etrailer and it came just as fast as the hitch that I ordered from them previously. The jack was characteristically well packaged so everything was received in perfect condition. The installation took a half hour, including hitching the trailer up to my truck and unhitching after the swap out. I did read the instructions quickly before starting and I would recommend that anyone doing the installation do so as well, just to avoid any hick-ups. Overall it was a very easy installation. Because of limited space I did have to mount the jack sideways, so I appreciate that Reese gave me that option. The one item that I did not finish was a permanent power hook-up. The power wire provided was too short so I will be putting a connector inline so that I can route the wire to the battery terminal.
Installed Bull Dog 4000 lb Jack today. Pretty straight forward install. I gave it a 4 star, everything worked fine. I would suggest adding some flat washers along with the lock washers , it gives the lock washer a little better surface to rest on I believe instead of the bigger holes on the Jack. The insulation on the wire was scuffed through to the copper in one little spot, not really a big deal just put some good super 33 electrical tape on it , and they could put a connector on the wire to hook to the battery . Overall very nice ,would absolutely purchase again. etrailer always has quality choices .
Seems like excellent product but was packaged upside down so the level on top of the jack was broke. I called right away and they were more than happy to send me a New level for the jack. Installation was super easy only took about 10 minutes for the jack and when the new level gets here that will be very easy also. Over all great service by everyone I talked to at etrailer.
It was very easy to install and it works great. The old tongue jack worked okay but this bully dog jack is smooth and powerful.
This has been a great trailer jack a year into installing it on my 12 x 6 enclosed cargo/camping trailer. The jack is out in the elements 24/7, gets used almost every weekend and is still going strong. I would definitely purchase this product again for my next trailer.
We turned the mounting position 90 degrees to accommodate the truck tailgate. The jack has enough lift capacity to lift both the truck and tongue weight to any height...low gearing on lift works well without any electrical overload strain ...very pleased
Simple installation. Can't believe I went this long without a powered jack. Arrived sooner than expected. Great service.
Works fine- no issues. I like the labeling on the ret/ext rocker switch. I noe don't have to guess which side of the switch to push.
It arrived quickly, was easy to install, fit right where the old jack was. The cover fit correctly. It worked just like it was supposed to. It is installed on a 10k gvw cargo/camper hybrid and jacks it no problem.
One problem shipping and response was great but it is hard to review something when it is not even installed yet these reviews should come out in about 6 months
It’s a good, sturdy, and reliable Jack. I never have to worry if it’s going to work or not. Can’t say that about the cheap original equipment it replaced. It is slow but most are. I’m happy with this purchase.
works well no issue. light still works as well. LEd light . easy to instal the level is a nice plus
Can’t speak much yet if the durability of the Bulldog but I’ll tell you what I know. I’ll start with etrailer. They always provide exceptional service and product packaging and with everything I’ve ever ordered they always beat the expected delivery date. Packaging was great and not beat up. As for the jack itself, installation on our 32ft Jayco TT was seamless and I was finished within 30 mins. The fit and finish of the Bulldog is top notch. Enough power to lift the camper and rear of my 2500 to remove the weight distribution bars. The LEDs put off a decent amount of light, way better than the stick FIC unit. Time will tell but I also have five years in the warranty.
I bought the Bulldog Powered trailer jack from etrailer because they not only have the best price, but amazing service, and shipping was rocket fast!! It took only three days to rural Colorado.
I watched etrailers video of the jack being installed that showed details and dimensions so i could be sure it would fit my application. The videos are well made and super helpful to ensure I got the right jack for my trailer.
Installation was a breeze, three bolts and one wire hookup and you're finished.
The jack works great and the lights are handy. I will say that it is not particularly fast, it is geared low and goes up and down slowly, but it works great and does exactly what it is supposed to do.
This jack is great easy install love the led for night loading and they way it shuts off as it goes to the top nice product great price thank you Etrailer
Nice product but poor QC. After assembly and installation the jack would not extend. After some searching online I opened the casing and found that the power wire on the switch was never plugged onto the blade on the back of the switch. I plugged it in and all is good. The plug/blade are the locking type, so it did not come loose during shipping, it was simply not connected at the factory, so I have to assume that nobody performed a function check before boxing it up and sending it out. Somebody with less troubleshooting experience would have probably wound up uninstalling and returning. Buyer beware.
Free shipping, excellent customer service, easy installation and fabrication!
Great jack, prompt delivery, great price. I couldn’t be more pleased. So much faster and easier than the jack that came with our trailer (and which jammed on us).
It was easy to install and performs as expected. Very satisfied with this purchase.
Could have been 5 star but there is no specification of the recommended fuse size for the jack. The instructions say that the jack is internally protected but it is always recommended to protect the wiring from the battery to the unit. This is on the manufacturer, not etrailer.
Works great!!! Plenty strong for my 32 foot toy hauler.
I bought this jack for my XLR 18HFS toy hauler. I needed to get the tongue up to reduce the ramp breakover angle to load my Road King. The trailer was equipped with a manual side crank unit, so the electric unit was a nice upgrade. The drop foot plus the stroke of the unit does what I needed. There is no end of stroke protection so the jack really jerks when it hits the ends. I simply marked the leg with a sharpie... I put arrows when I'm getting close and then a line when it's about an inch from full extend. I had to extend the hot wire a foot, but the motor is protected internally so no fuse is needed. My only other comment regards the built in level: I had to turn mine 90 degrees to clear the propane tanks but I wanted the level to remain fore-and-aft. I had to drill the holes myself to make this change. One last comment... my level blistered, or shattered, I'm assuming from heat. I had also purchased a cover (UF38-944020) that basically rests right on top of the level. I contacted etrailer and they sent me a new level. I have a foam insulator between the level and the cover now.
