Question:

Re: Electric Trailer Jack e74GV: The power cable that plugs into the tow vehicle seems almost too short in your video to be of use with my 3/4 ton truck. What is the length of the jack cable?

Hey John,

I ran out to our warehouse and pulled one of the jacks # e74GV to get that measurement for you. It was a little difficult with how its packed but the length of that jack cable comes in at 48" long.

Do you know roughly how much you would need on your 3/4 truck?

Thank you for your reply, Nick. I really appreciate that you took the time to go out into the warehouse and open up one of those jacks to take that measurement for me. 48" sounds like it might be barely sufficient. However, from the various photos and the video, it looks like the cable run wouldn't go beyond the tongue until it used perhaps 24", leaving me with only 24" to reach from the tongue/ball to my truck's plug. IMO, I wouldn't feel comfortable purchasing this jack unless the cable was 60". Sincerely, John Breen

@JohnB Of course, always happy to help and if that will get the information you need to make a decision I will do it! I know you probably like the idea of using your trucks plug to use this but you could just go with one that hooks up to a 12v power source like # e55ZV. Just another option that could work a bit better.
