Looking for a recommendation for an electric tongue jack for a 20 enclosed car trailer that weighs about 7000 lbs load. Also using weight distribution hitch. Thanks.

The Electric Jack part # EJ-3520-BBX is what I recommend using as it's an excellent economical upgrade option. If you are replacing an exiting electric jack then just run the power wire to the battery, secure the flange to the frame, and you're done. If you are switching from a manual to an electric jack then you might want to use part # EJ-3527-BBX since it comes with a plug for the vehicle to power it. The 3,500 b capacity will be more than enough for a 7,000 lb trailer since it only needs to be rated for the tongue weight. The jacks also both come with a light for use at night.
