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.

Includes a manual override handle.I decided to try this after the warranty ran out on my 4th SmartJack. So far, so good. Installation took about 30 minutes. That's with removing and reinstalling the propane tanks and tray for easier access. The power wire could have been a bit longer and the instructions will be difficult if you are not mechanically inclined. No illustrations. I love the fuse location. Much easier to access. If I don't edit my review, you may assume it's still working.
This was purchased for my 24 foot enclosed car hauler. Overall I think this is a decent purchase, priced under $120. The fuse should come from the factory with dielectric grease packed in the little holder as it is located outside of the housing and it's in a pretty rough environment. The power lead length is plenty long for connecting to either a battery mounted on the tongue or service box that all of your trailer wires go into- This is where I wired mine into. I actually used a grommet to plug the hole that the manufacturer ran the power wire through and drilled another hole on the other side so the wire would run straight down the correct side of the jack and into the service box. One of the screws that mounts the black housing on to the metal frame was pulled through by the time it arrived, so I am used washers when I reinstalled them to help prevent this from happening again. Other notes: I will need to get a longer hitch now, as my tailgate will hit the jack housing, and I did purchase a cover for the jack from the recommended bar at the bottom when I purchased this jack. Final: I've only cycled it up and down twice but it worked nicely and quietly so overall I am very pleased with my purchase

Jon G - 3/25/2021Ordered a motorized trailer lift. It works great, saved my husband's shoulder from being sore. This item was delivered promptly with status updates. Have purchased from etrailer before and will use them again. Good customer service.

I ordered this jack for its affordability and reviews for simple install quality product.....Shipping was fast, jacked my 30’ Bullet up with the manual tongue jack, put blocks under the “A-frame” and lower unit down. Once it was resting on the wood blocks I was able to unbolt the 3 nuts/bolts holding the old on, set in the new and cranked down the bolts/nuts. Ran the wire to my battery box, passed through small hole underneath and zip tied all nice and need. Connected to battery terminal and done,,,under 45 minutes. Instructions were very clear and very simple!!!!! Happy campers we are.......Enjoy the journey
We S - 07/12/2021I recvd this power tongue jack super quick and earmarked a few hours for Saturday install. Put my 19 Spr8ngdale 202QBWe on the hitch of my truck and got the necessary tools gathered. This install honestly could not have gone easier! Used my original 3 bolts along with the provided washers in the correct order and torques each bolt to 20 ft lbs per the instructions. The power line was long enough to reach one of my batteries so I crimped on a wire terminal with the correct size hole (not supplied) and connected it up. Motor easily lifted the tongue plenty high enough to disconnect my trailer (note I use a set of blocks I made for my trailer tongue, not sure how much travel will be needed for your use) All done and tools cleaned up and put away within 45 minutes. Couldn't be happier, now to see if the jack motor lasts...
Jack is fine, mechanically and electrically. But the plastic lens over the LED lamp would not fit properly, no matter what I did. So I had to use silicone caulk to seal it up.
Very solid and heavy duty jack, with bright LED lighting, manufactured by Ram. Adjustable foot piece for quicker adjusting... Jack pretty easy to install, with single wire electrical connection and 3 bolts. Jack has low gear ratio and foot shaft moves slowly, but has plenty of power to lift front of trailer. Plenty of clearance behind jack for propane tank cover on our Airstream. Replaced more expensive model that was bent at mounting flange being winched onto transport trailer.
John - 02/09/2019Really easy drop-in installation. Always been reliable. Somehow broke the pin and lost the foot on the first voyage with it, (got bound up against a hitch spring arm during a sharp turn at a gas station), but I found a replacement on etrailer and swapped it out when we got home. No other issues.
Easy installation and it works like a charm. The up/down speed is a bit slow, but when you're camping you shouldn't be in a hurry anyway. My truck tailgate will not clear the top of the unit so if that's really important check all your measurements. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to others.
Ohio S - 12/11/2021Really happy with the purchase. It was easy to install and a great match for my RV. No complaints. It's very sturdy...well made. As the jack raises and lowers the trailer tongue, it is smooth; no skipping or hesitating noticed. Great product.
Lisa - 10/04/2021bought this jack for replacement on a camper trailer. this is the 2nd one I've bought for a camper and am very happy with their performance.
Henry W - 12/17/2021The Jack seems to be great quality and was very easy to install. At first I was a bit perturbed with the lack of detail and small font of the one page directions, but it’s as simple as 3 bolts and one wire to the battery(the hack is grounded inside). It raises my 2017 Jayco Baja much higher than stock crank jack. I hope it lasts the test of time as I am very happy with it this first day. The light seems bright as well.
Mike B - 04/17/2019Installed the new RAM electric tounge jack on my enclosed car hauler trailer. Very happy with this unit. Quick install, like the adjustable foot pad, and operated smoothly. etrailer packages well and deliveries quick.
Gary D - 04/24/2019Haven’t really use it yet. Install was easy enough as far as jack. The lower plate with hole did not line up perfectly with upper plate hole. Had to do some filing for jack to fit properly. Shipping was fast considering it was over a holiday weekend. I am very pleased with etrailer. I also purchased the jack cover to keep the weather off of the jack. I am sure it will be money well spent.
David - 09/07/2020Very good for taking the effort out of setting up the WD hitch. I wish it had come with a cover ( I stretched the winter cover to protect it). I replaced the telescopic foot with a longer part for camp sites with a bad grade. I wish that I had measured my rig more carefully - now I can't drop the Silverado tailgate when hitched up.
Tom P - 07/24/2021I bought this jack after doing a lot of research. The conclusion I came to was that most of these electric jacks are basically the same design with a different name stamped on them. I like how this one has an inline fuse, a higher lift range, and an adjustable footplate. I read a lot of forums, Facebook pages and reviews on a variety of websites. Etrailer offered the best option for what I was looking for. This jack is well made. It's heavy and solid. It was super easy to install. If you can't install this, you probably shouldn't be pulling a trailer. It was literally 3 bolts and a ring terminal. The wire lead does not come with a ring terminal attached. You have to add your own, which is no big deal. It comes this way so you can cut the excess wire to fit your application. It also came with 3 washers and 3 star washers to ensure a good ground connection on the wiring. The light is super bright as well. Etrailer kept me up to date the whole way through the ordering and shipping process. This was my first purchase from them and it was a great experience.
Purchased for a 2015 Tracer 238 Air Travel Trailer. It works as advertised. It comes with a single cable which is connected to the + positive side (red) of the battery. It is a slow process & like all new products there is a learning curve. My only regret is I didn't purchase one sooner. Make sure you buy a cover to protect your investment. I've also added an internal 30A surge protector, 30A automatic transfer switch, rear cargo carrier & generator to my trailer. I hope this helps.
Would have to say 4.5 on the rating only because of the installation instructions. On installation instruction #4 it tells you how to assemble the hardware and then directs you to a figure above. This figure is nothing more than the plain jack. Then it tells you on #6 to position the fuse holder as close to the power source positive terminal as possible. The fuse holder comes in already attached to the jack adjacent to the jack control switches. Ease of installation other than above. Common sense will get anyone past those directions. Jack operation was perfect after installation. Test of jack showed it works as advertised and I can't wait to use it in the upcoming camping trip. Ordering, customer service and shipping/receiving was excellent. I was informed on the delivery date and status of shipment by ETrailer to whole time. Properly packaged and the unit came in in excellent shape with no defects. As you can see in the pictures it is a clean install and I added a very nice cover which was also sold through E-Trailer. Another nice product to finish a successful installation.
This jack makes hooking and unhooking the trailer much easier. It is easy to use. It was easy to mount and wire. Overall, I am extremely pleased with it.
The item that I received is #J-3520-BBX. The box was in good shape, as was the appearance of the jack. I installed it immediately and was devastated to find that it was DOA. Dead on arrival. Only the light worked.I did a thorough check on vehicle electrical wiring to be sure I wasn't missing something. Had it worked, the emergence hand crank would be impossible to use as it is verticle. There would not be enough space between the railer and the jack to use the crank. A good note on the power wire: it contains a circuit breaker and I consider this to be much better than an in-line fuse. I find etrailer customer service to be excellent.
Excellent product! This was super easy to install, took longer to look up what wire I needed to connect the jacks power lead to on my trailer that it did to do the actual install! This thing works great and has made life so much easier for my wife, hooking and unhooking our 7x16 cargo trailer is a breeze now, she often does craft shows. If I had another trailer I'd buy this jack again.
Excellent product. Easy installation. Worked pefect first time. Highly recommend. Great customer communications. Great customer service.
Customer Service is number 1!! Mr. George is awesome on ensuring you receive the product and are satisfied. I had the electric jack installed in less than an hour. That included reading instructions, acquiring the tools, running electrical check for hot wire, and replacing the tools. I used the electrical box under front of the trailer for the power. To ensure I would not chaff the wire, I selected a hole in the box and drilled it to 3/8". I then drilled a hole in a valve stem cap so the wire would slip through the valve stem cap. I then pushed the cap into the hole and wired to existing electric wires with wire cap.
This has been a great purchase. Easy to install and use. I went on a 30 day trip this summer and used it every day. Saved the back of this 73 year old camper! Highly recommend.
I installed the jack in about 10 minutes. It works great. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a good jack without spending a lot of money. The service was great also and I will be buying from etrailer again if I need anything. Thanks!
