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.

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.

The 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....

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

Needed 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
