Disappointed Buyer
GBFail The TrailerValet XL doesn't work with my 9,000lb trailer. The trailer was empty and it not only could not move it, but damaged the trailer metal tow receptacle. The TrailerValet may work with light trailers, but do not use it for a heavier trailer. Now I need to find some way to sell my TrailerValey XL. I regret this purchase.

AUNeeded a replacement tube in Australia Needed a replacement tube in Australia, you have to buy the tyre and tube together, $180 plus freight. This is not ethical as there is no alternative to the special Trailer Valet tube

GBMy experience with this product is once… My experience with this product is once connected to the hitch receiver, the ball on the trailer valet moves in the socket created by this connection. No matter how tight I make the collar on the Trailer Valet, it still wanders in the socket causing the collar to loosen. This has led to the trailer receiver being bent where I have had to hammer it out. If I keep using it, I will eventually have to have a new receiver installed.

GBShort Version Short Version: Like many things about towing in the US, don't trust the maximum specification: the 5X is said to be good to #500 tongue weight, but it's not. The side-mount bracket is not strong enough for the torque, the back brackets that saddle the tongue bend, the lift tube flexes, the screw jack has too much friction, the tires are squashed. It's just not up to it, especially after a couple years of occasional use.

GBProduct worked great for about 10… Product worked great for about 10 minutes - then one inner tube let go. The root cause seems the value stem is really long for the application and manually bent. Bottom line the stem caught the roller housing and tore away. Went back to the company and was told inner tube on back order or I could buy one from a distributor. I really feel the company put 100% of the design and or manufacturing problem back on me to procure, dissemble the product, replace the tube. Defintely not the $500 user experience I was looking for !!
