GBI purchased the trailer valet jx side… I purchased the trailer valet jx side mount with a wheel for my tracker boat. The bolts and nuts are flush when installed and I can't engage the jack when lowering it because the long shaft and the large wheel. Went online to buy the plate to see if it gets me a few inches extra of space. Got in contact with customer service to see if they sold longer bolts. Didn't want to help whatever and gave no solutions or advice.

GBThe trailer valet performed as… The trailer valet performed as advertised, but it had trouble moving my small (21ft) travel trailer on my slightly sloping driveway. Also the handle/brake lever needs a solid detent/locking feature when fully extended. On more than one occasion, while I was using a power drill to move/crank the trailer valet (move the trailer), the brake engaged and the drill spun and I thought I might have broken my wrist. Fairly painful. Other than that it was fine....

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.

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.

GBGreat concept but not-so-great… Great concept but not-so-great execution. There are several design flaws: 1. TIre inflator port is too long and is cathing the frame. Had to replace the tube once already. 2. Brakes engage prematurely after the slightest release of the handle. 3. Plastic ring from beneath the post got chewed up after 3 weeks of using. 4. No place to secure the handle when not in use.
