Easy enough to install Easy enough to install. Works well. But be careful to lift the brake handle all the way up before moving trailer. and keep it up during use. Otherwise there is extreme counter rotation on the drill and can cause wrist injury. Otherwise, great product and would recommend.

Don't Go In The Water I used Trailer Valet on a 16 ft. boat. I guess the manufacturer did not anticipate that customers would use their product with boats, because the "Valet" rusted up pretty fast. Then I had a problem and needed to purchase replacement tubes for the tires on the "Valet". For the price charged I expected to receive solid gold tubes, but was astonished to learn that rubber tubes could demand such a price.

Short 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.

This company literally has the worst… This company literally has the worst customer service of any company I have dealt with. They are AWOL. They use an answering service and Customer Service keeps sending you form answers. I need to order replacement parts. Can I get someone to call me or take my order? NO. Actually I love my Trailer Valet XL, but what good is it to have a $700 item if I can't get replacement parts. They apparently are all about making the sale, and then "SCREW YOU." when it comes to helping their loyal customers keep the product in working order. They should be ashamed. Dr. Greg Lousignont

Fail 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.
