idk why an electric jack would be any sort of measurable advantage on such a small trailer.
Maybe he has rotator cuff issues...the point is even the lightest duty electric jacks will have no issue lifting the tongue plus a bit of weight off the back of the truck. If not using a WDH, it's even easier on the jack.
