Can The Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack be Used On a Car Trailer?

Question

Question:

Is this a good replacement for my car trailer jack? The jack that failed Fulton 5000# came off an old 20foot Cargo Pro trailer 2005?. When towing it has car in it weighing roughly 2800lbs. Towed by a 2006 Chevy 2500hd. The electric drill feature seems really convenient on your jack plus being able to hand crank it if necessary. Thanks

The Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack # TV54FR is a great choice for your car trailer. This jack is rated for a lift capacity of 2,000lbs which is going to be more than enough for your tongue weight. The cordless drill feature is a great thing to have as it makes raising and lowering the jack so much easier.

If you are worried about the jack capacity we also have the Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack # TV94FR with a 3,000lb lift capacity. This jack has a 3:4 gear ratio rather than the 1:1 of the # TV54FR.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
