If I was to add an electric jack to my 2017 HR179, what weight class would I need to purchase? Is it based solely on tongue weight? If so, I could get away with a lighter version.

We bought this one, which worked fine with our 179 and 2012 Highlander.

The jack is straining awfully hard once I get close to the point where I can swing the E2 WDH bars over the L-brackets. I may just go for the next beefier Quick that SH mentioned. ------------- Alan 2022 R-Pod 196 "RaptoRPod" 2022 Ram 1500 Lone Star 4x4 Three cats |
