How many years ago did you buy the one that lasted 7 years?
Nice try :) but I didn't say my UltraFab tongue jack
"lasted 7 years" but rather it served the purpose just fine in the 7 yrs I owned it. I sold it after selling our KZ Spree and I'd have no reason to believe it isn't still in service.
If you had read that independent testing report to which I linked earlier you'd know that UltraFab claims a reduction in claimed failure rate of 1.7% of sales in 2010 to just 0.7% in 2014, or 7 out of every 1000 manufactured and sold, a failure rate any manufacture would be proud of. Obviously if owners don't report a failure the manufacturer won't know about it. Whining on internet forums and so-called online consumer "reviews" by those who feel they've been "wronged" serves little purpose if they're not also willing to report any failure to the manufacturer. :S I have no dog in this race - the OP asked for a tongue jack recommendation and I simply gave mine, whether he chooses to go with an UltraFab or something else is entirely up to him. :)
