Ah, the lowly tongue jack. This is one device that doesn’t get the respect it deserves.
What is a tongue jack?
A tongue jack is a mechanical device mounted on the front “tongue” of your trailer — the part that connects to your tow vehicle’s hitch. Its job is to raise and lower the front end so you can hitch and unhitch.
Why choose an electric tongue jack?
Convenience, mostly. You operate it with a button instead of a crank. The RV Traveler’s Choice Electric Tongue Jack also earns you Extra Mile Rewards points when you buy it in-store.
Key features of a tongue jack
- Trailer lifting and levelling — quick coupler alignment, and a level trailer once you are parked
- Stabilization — less unwanted movement while you are stationary
- Maintenance made easy — quick height adjustments for tire changes and inspections
Benefits of using a tongue jack
- Convenience — no physically demanding manual lifting
- Safety — a stable, levelled trailer minimizes the risk of tipping or accidents during loading
- Protection for your tow vehicle — less wear on the suspension
