Best Electric Tongue Jack: Relax While it Does the Heavy Lifting

The Quick Products JQ-3500B electric jack starts our list as one of the best options if you have an extremely tall towing vehicle thanks to its maximum lift height of 32”. Keep in mind that the Quick Products jack only offers a travel height of 18 inches, but with almost 3’ of total lift height, you should never have to worry about the height of your towing vehicle.

Outside of the tall lift height, the JQ-3500B jack also comes with a wealth of convenience features including a bubble-style leveling to ensure that you connect your hitch properly. This electric trailer jack also comes with an LED light to assist you with working in the dark, either early in the morning or late at night.

On the other hand, the Quick Products electric tongue jack is noted for iffy wiring which, while not an expensive fix, can be frustrating if it occurs while out on the road. That said, should you run into these issues while traveling, the Quick Products electric tongue jack can be used manually.

While plenty of trailer jacks on our list offer plenty of power and are reasonably durable, the Lippert stands out for all of the extra features that make using it that much easier. If you find yourself using your jack in the dark, you will appreciate the 4 LED lights that come with the Lippert, making it one of the brightest electric tongue jacks we came across.

Outside of the bright illumination provided, the Lippert also provides one of the easiest leveling operations with a rocker switch that levels the jack with the push of a button. This model also boasts a solid maximum lift height of 28 ¾” with a traveling height of 18 inches.

This is also one of the more powerful electric tongue jacks that we reviewed with a 30-amp motor and helical-cut gears to help reduce the noise and improve operating efficiency. That said, the Lippert does not have any kind of protection from water, so be sure to keep it covered when used in the rain and stored safely when not in use.

While most electric tongue jacks are suitable for your average towed RV, Uriah Products UC500010 steps up when you have an extremely heavy RV thanks to its list-leading 5000 lb weight capacity. This massive weight capacity allows you to raise an RV trailer that is potentially 50000 lbs total and at least 30000 lbs minimum.

A big part of why the Uriah Products UC500010 can accomplish this is due to its hardened steel gears which will not slip or give under the weight of the heaviest RV trailers. These hardened steel gears are coupled with a ball and screw design to further reduce the strain of the load on the motor while also producing less noise than some of the other products on our list.

On the other hand, the UC500010 is noted for some quality control issues, though a product that starts well does not seem to suffer durability issues further down the line. It likely does not hurt that the Uriah Products jack has a water-resistant motor and a one-piece plastic housing for use in any kind of weather.

The RAM Trailer Products EJ-3520 does not distinguish itself from the other options on our list but neither does it fall short in any meaningful way either. One of its best qualities is its maximum lift height which sits near the top of our list at 28 ½”

On top of that, the RAM does not suffer some of the motor durability concerns we found with other less expensive models thanks to hardened steel gear works. Of course, if something does happen, the more likely an electricity issue than anything else, you can always use the RAM manually.

One thing you might want to do when receiving this model is switch out the fastening hardware included as it is not the best quality. The RAM can also be a bit difficult to install due to a non-standard size that is a little bit too big in places.

The Bulldog Black Reese 500199 is the perfect model for people who like to do their RVing off-road on back trails or out in the country. For one, this model comes with a single-axis leveler that makes it easier to level your jack than some of the bubble-style levelers commonly used.

On top of that, the Bulldog has a solid maximum lift height of 27” which is great when camping in an area that might have drastically different levels of contour. This model also offers a bit more lift weight capacity than some of its competitors at 4000 lbs.

The only thing that might irk you about the Bulldog Black Reese is the fact that it takes longer to extend the jack to full height than many other options. On the other hand, you do not have to worry about working in darkness as the Bulldog comes equipped with 3 LED lights.

Plenty of electric tongue jacks that we reviewed do one or two things exceptionally well, but few of the models can do pretty much everything well. This is the reason that we named the Husky HB4500 our best electric tongue jack and why it took the top spot as our overall winner.

First, the HB4500 has the second-largest lift capacity we reviewed at 4500 lbs which can lift a minimum of 30000 lbs and upwards of 45000 lbs. This massive lifting capacity is almost certainly in part due to the motor’s hardened steel gear works combined with the lift’s ball and screw engineering to reduce the load stress and provide quieter operation.

The only real downside of the Husky HB4500 is its maximum lift height which sits at 24” and is one of the shorter heights on our list. On the other hand, this is also one of the faster electric trailer jacks that we came across, able to reach its maximum lift stroke in under a minute.

This electric trailer tongue jack even comes with 3 LED lights for use in dark conditions as well as a SmartStop feature to prevent it from damaging itself.

The F2C A-Frame Jack is a solid choice for those who do not have the heaviest RV trailer and do not intend to push this 12v electric trailer jack to the limit. As one of the least expensive models that we found, the F2C is easily our best electric tongue jack for those on a budget.

What is surprising is that, despite its low price, the F2C comes with plenty of convenience features as well like a removable footplate, making it one of the few we saw that does. The F2C also makes it easier to level your RV trailer with an included bubble-style leveler that comes with a cap for protection.

One thing to worry about with the F2C electric jack is the motor which is not known for being the most durable or having the longest lifespan. Thankfully, the rest of the F2C suffers no such issues as the body is made of durable stainless steel which naturally resists rust and corrosion and is powder-coated just for extra measure.

Sometimes you have an RV trailer that cannot just get by with an electric jack that has lower specs but does not cost the money of one of the more impressive models. This is where the HOTSYSTEM comes into play with a fairly low price and plenty of power and convenience.

One thing the HOTSYSTEM gets right is power with a solid 4000 lb lift capacity that can easily handle trailer loads ranging from 25000 lbs up to 40000 lbs. A big part of this is thanks to its powerful 28-amp motor that can power through the toughest of loads.

That said, it is reasonably priced with these specs because it takes a bit longer to extend than some of the other models we reviewed. This model also has one of the shorter maximum lift heights with 14 inches of travel plus 8 inch drop leg, giving it a total of only 22 inches.

Still, the HOTSYSTEM surprises with uncommon convenience features like an electric leveling function, a bubble style leveler, and an LED light.

The Libra jack is built with a seamless, one-piece cover and rainproof buttons, while the body has a drainage design built-in. To further ensure that you never have to worry about water damage with the LIBRA, it also comes with a waterproof head cover as well.

The Libra jack does not top our list in too many areas, but the inclusion of a 5 ½” footplate helps it remain more stable than some of its competitors throughout the lift. What makes the LIBRA even more stable is the fact that it is also easier to install than some of the more expensive models we came across too.

That said, the Libra can be a bit hit or miss in some of the most important areas, namely in the durability department as both the wiring and the motor are not known for long lifespans. This electric jack also only sports a maximum lift of 22”, though it is at least stable when fully extended.
