Hook up, check tongue weight, and get on the road with fewer steps. This kit pairs a 3,500 lb electric trailer jack with a jack foot tongue weight scale, letting you lift your trailer and verify the load during the same hitching process.
When you're getting ready to tow, it's hard to know if your trailer's tongue weight is right just by looking at it. Lower your trailer onto the gauge while it's still on your jack, see where the weight stands, move your gear if needed, and check it again before you hitch up. Because the scale replaces your jack foot, there's no separate tongue weight scale to deal with every time you check your load. Four mounting positions let you rotate the gauge toward the side that's easiest to read. If you use your trailer on gravel, grass, or other soft surfaces, the scale also works with the 6" Round SnapPad (SN47FR - sold separately) to help keep the jack from sinking.
The 12V motor raises and lowers your trailer with the push of a switch instead of a manual crank. The drop leg extends up to 4-1/2", helping you get closer to the ground before using the motor. A built-in LED lights your coupler when you're hitching up before sunrise or after dark, and the included manual crank keeps the jack usable if electrical power isn't available.
Moisture takes a toll on trailer jacks, so this one uses weather protection to help limit damage over time. The jack is made of black powder coated steel to help resist rust. Weatherproof buttons and the rubber cover over the manual crank opening help keep moisture out, while the included canvas cover helps protect the jack during storage. The 20A automatic reset relay fuse protects the motor from overloads and short circuits.
This jack wires directly to your trailer's 12V power source, so it doesn't rely on your vehicle's 7-way connector for operation. Top-mounted controls keep operation straightforward from the jack housing, and the automatic reset relay fuse resets itself after an overload or short circuit instead of requiring a replacement fuse.
Note: This kit is recommended for A-frame trailer jacks only. The included tongue weight scale fits most A-frame trailer jacks with a 2" diameter inner tube and an interchangeable foot.

Hi everyone, Steven here with etrailer. Let's take a look together at our very own etrailer electric trailer jack. Now folks, this uses a tongue weight skeleton included along with an A-frame connection and you will need to power it up with a 12 volt direct power connection. Now this is rated at 3,500 pounds capacity and it's really nice because you get 18-inches of lift with that screw travel and you get an additional 4-1/2-inches roughly with the drop leg. So you're also going to get this nice canvas bag that's going to go on there when you're not towing. So when you're in park mode, you wanna store the trailer, put this bag on, keep dirt, debris, bugs out and stuff, mud daubers like to lay nest to make muddy nest and stuff in there.
You get the picture, right And then of course you've got the bag here that's got high density foam. That's going to be the storage bag for our tongue weight scale. It goes scaled down into the bag and then you can zip that up and put it in a storage location of your choice, whether it's your toolbox, behind a seat in a storage box or a storage compartment, who knows So that's what you're going to get as well with the bolts, nuts, and washers included for installation. And of course this guy, as you know, this is our manual up and down tool in the event that you, God forbid, have a power failure, you can pop off this top plug. Now I can put that in there and I can crank up or down as needed.
So this is a 3,500 pound electric jack. Again, you need to wire it directly. Now what's neat is that we give you the ring terminals needed and this has a built in automatic reset protection. It's a 20 amp automatic reset relay fuse, and that's going to protect the jack motor from overloads and also protect it in the vehicle from short circuits and those kind of things. Now zooming back down here to the bottom again, you have your drop leg.
I can simply pull the pin here. I can go up or down again, about 4-1/2-inches. That's the number of adjustments I have here with the drop leg. So if I want to get up higher easier or to the ground faster, I can lower the drop leg and close that distance faster before I have to engage the jack. Once I got that, I can put my tongue weight scale underneath here.
I can pin that in place. Now I can read my tongue weight scale in measurements of 50 pounds all the way up to 2,000 max as far as the rating on this. And if I want to, if maybe I can't read it from the front, I need to turn it sideways. I got a hole on both sides that I can use as well. So we gave you lots of adjustments there as far as that goes. So you should be able to access those really easy. And then you can put your drop leg back in and be on your way as needed. So tongue weight is very important folks. If you don't already know, that's what's going to be crucial to give you, or one of the crucial things rather, give you a smooth ride. So if you have a heavy tongue weight, you're going to be pushing the back end of your vehicle down, pushing that front up, your headlights are pointing to the sky, you've lost traction in the front a little bit and you can potentially fishtail pulling that trailer. So we get an accurate tongue weight reading. Now we can adjust gear forward or back, get it more leveled over the trailer axle and we can be on our way safely. And you'd honestly be surprised. We've got lots of literature, we've got lots of test videos as well on the page where you can see demonstrations and just see how crucial even just 6-inches to a foot moving maybe 50 pounds back or forward can make all the difference as far as fishtailing and those kind of things. So make sure you're checking those out. If you have any questions about any of that, reach out to us. We're more than happy to assist you as well. So folks, again, this is our very own etrailer electric power jack with included tongue weight scale for an A-frame connection. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
Ratings & Reviews
Brittany was a great help to find ensure the product I selected was compatible with my trailer. We checked the stroke an capacity, discussed installation. The e trailer brand jack I chose arrived the next day, was easy to install and it worked. I'm still looking forward to using it "on the road" but have confidence there will be no issues.
Everything arrived on time. The packaging on the tongue jack was really good. The tongue jack installation was uneventful. Since the mounting bolts are meant for more of a tension load,I put the washers under the head which required some shaping of the washers to avoid the welds. I haven’t mounted the bumper hitch yet.
Extremely professional Paula was prompt in assisting me with my questions. Electric Jack works fine. Installation on my 2022 Nucamp Tab 320 required 2 modifications to fit. #1 the bottom hole on the A frame prevented Jack from mounting. Had to reem out hole to allow Jack to seat. #2 tailgate of SUV hit top of Jack power head. Had to mount head sideways to allow tailgate to open. Makes the light on the front shine away from intended target.
E Jack is a great conversion. I didn't put a battery on trailer to run it. I simply used RV flat pin receptacle and used ground and power post, runs jack fine and you do not need vehicle running to use jack
Unfortunately the casing can not be opened up with out destroying it. I thought I would be able to wire it up with the existing trailer hot wire directly to the mower, but ended up have to splice into the camper wire harness. Not what I wanted, but made it work.
Bolted right up to my popup, 10 minute install, works great. Will it stand the test of time is the only question
Installation was fast and easy though it's a drag the the ground wire is designed to be too short to reach the battery. Fastening it to the frame in an area sheltered from dirt and moisture is easy enough but it's the step that took the longest.
The unit is much quieter and faster than the Domestic it replaced. I didn't really want a drop leg because my old lady arthritic hands don't need another little fastener to deal with but it seems that it will work well.
I like the larger base and the protective cover over the controls. It has everything I need and none of the extras I don't. So far I'd recommend it.
This is a great tongue jack, super easy to install. And most importantly, it's dependable! It's been so dependable that I don't even think about it, that's a great thing. If it has one downside, it's the speed, it's slow. But I get torque (lift power), speed and battery drain all have to work together, you can't have everything. For example; if you wanted faster speed with the same motor, you could just reduce the gear-ratio but then it would no longer be rated at 5000lbs, it would be less. Put on a bigger motor to get the torque (lift power) back to 5000lbs and you'd have more battery drain and so on. This jack has a good balance of those three things. I'd definitely buy this jack again.
This trailer jack works great! I set mine up to run off a small 30amp hour lithium battery that I store in the tongue box. It works great, and I can level and make adjustments without having to connect to my truck. The jack works quietly and quickly.
Received it today and it was an easy install. The jack seems very sturdy and easily lifted the 1200 lb. trailer tongue. I used the tongue weight scale, which was very easy to put on and take off. The weight display gauge was easily readable. The jack is a compact design and, with the weather cover, seems like it will be well protected from bad weather.
Jack worked pretty good. Install was easy like a bag to cover. Hopefully you sell future bags.
Just installed it. Jack went on fine, bolt holes matched my 20’ Haulmark enclosed trailer exactly. I had to run power to the battery, and that took the longest.once connected, lifted the trailer right off my floor jack. Now I just need to tuck and zip tie wires.
Fast shipping, easy install, works great
Installation was a breeze and so far it is working as advertised. Very happy with the product
Bold holes lined up on my Winnebago Minnie 2500rl perfectly. Received unit, mid day, mounted, and did electrical all in the same day. I also like having the internal circuit breaker rather than a "burn out" fuse. Storage cover is a nice touch too.
Superb! Operates nice and quiet compared to my factory model. Installation was a breeze. Price was amazing. I do encourage others to get one, because it operates smooth and quiet. The smaller design over the factory one allows more space for the tailgate operation as well.
I was assisted in a chat session on a Sunday afternoon. I gave the representative the model number of unit that had to be replaced and in less than a minute was told that this unit is an exact replacement. I immediately ordered it and it was shipped that same day. The the e23ZV is a perfect replacement for the Jayco Jay Feather Micro 199MBS. Fits nicely under the tongue mounted bike rack. I already installed it and it performs perfectly.
I really like my new electric jack. I got the 3500lb capacity which matches my oem jack. Iwas going to get the 5k but i decided to stick with the 3500lb. And i have been happy so far. I have a ST2916 stryker toy hauler. The tounge weight can get close up to 2k lbs. The jack handles my application like a champ. I usually have to lift the jack high enough to facilitate the install of the stabilizer bar, so it essentially starts raising the truck a bit. No issues so far. It actually actuates faster than the 3500lb lippert oem jack I previously had on. I like how it has an extension at the foot. It's very practical. I also like how the toggle switches are located near the top of the jack. My lippert oem has the toggle switches on the front of the jack facing the tail gate. I had to be careful not to hit or bump into the toggle switch as I moved/jump over to the other side. I did end up breaking toggle switch once becausei bumped into it. That was an expensive fix.i don't have to worry about that now.
The only con that I can think of is that the trailer does seems shake a bit as I'm retracting or lowering the trailer. At least more than I'm accustomed to, but it hasn't been an issue so far.
So far I'm happy with the jack.
Jack is plenty good, seems well designed and built plus the cover actually feels heavy duty compared to others. Installed on a race trailer since we had a battery in it for the winch so why not. Welded a piece of 6" C channel into the A of the tongue close to the body so the truck tailgate would clear it. Drilled the holes out further than typical so didn't have the mounting problems others had with washers not sitting flat. The reason for the 4 stars is why in heaven's name the ground wire couldn't have been the same length as the power wire to reach a battery without soldering in an extension?!? Not a show stopper but geez- I'd have paid the extra buck for 2 more feet of wire. For anyone reading this and wondering no, I purposely did not ground the battery to the trailer, less problems going direct to the battery for high-draw stuff.
This jack install was quick & easy. I like that the hardware includes plastic inserts lock nuts, needed or not, I used them. My 25 Expedition doesn't provide enough amps without putting truck electronics in jeopardy. I'm not interested in having an on-board trailer battery, so I wired up connections for a jump starter. Works like a charm numerous times on single charge. I have EXACTLY the setup I was aiming for. Love this jack!
Out of the box…looks great. Installation was easy, however, a couple additional steps needed to be performed to make it work with our model trailer. Our current trailer is a 2004 Keystone Tailgator toy hauler.
The shaft of the electric jack went into the first hole fine but the second hole was just a touch smaller. The second hole had to be ground out a little bit to make the shaft pass through the second hole so the jack could seat properly on the triangle.
When I removed the original mounting bolts, some of the threads on the bolts were stripped so the new bolts provided with the new jack would not screw on. I drilled out the hole to accommodate the new bolts which worked fine.
Attaching the hot to the battery terminal and the ground to one of the jack bolts worked perfectly. The jack sounds strong and worked as it should. The LED light up front is so much brighter than the old light.
Very pleased with the unit. I can’t wait to see how it actually performs when hooking an unhooking while camping.
Jack and weight scale are great, very useful combination. The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because the ground wire is significantly shorter than the positive wire. I was able to run the positive wire back to my 12V terminal block under the chassis however, the ground wire is far too short to run back under the chassis and connect to an existing chassis ground. So, I had to drill a new chassis ground near the A-frame, which was annoying.
