Comparing Trailer Valet Models: Which One Fits Your Needs?
If you’ve ever wrestled to park a trailer in your driveway or driveway, you know exactly how much of a game-changer a mover or jack can be. But with all the options Trailer Valet offers, choosing the right one can start to feel overwhelming. So let’s walk through it like friends chatting in your driveway and figure out what suits you best.
Hand-Crank & Drill-Powered Dollies
Start with the Trailer Valet 5X and XL, the bread-and-butter movers that blend manual operation with electric assist.
Think of the 5X as the nimble buddy you take on weekend getaways: it handles about 5,000 lb trailers, combines a built-in jack, and shifts easily with a hand crank or a power drill. It's a favorite for its simplicity and reliability, and perfect for boat trailers or couples-sized campers.
Step up to the XL, and you’ll find similar ease-of-use with far more muscle. This one tackles up to 10,000 lb loads, includes selectable high and low gearing, solid tires, and still lets you crank manually or power up with your drill. If your trailer weighs more, or you just want extra control, the XL is the sweet spot.

Heavy-Duty Upright Movers
For those towing bigger rigs like oversized RVs, tiny homes, or hefty cargo trailers, the MV PRO steps into the spotlight. It’s essentially an upright XL with uprated gearing and power, capable of moving up to 12,000 lb with minimal effort . It costs more, sure, but if you're regularly repositioning a heavy trailer, this model saves serious strain and time.

Smart Option: Drill-Powered Jacks
Maybe full-on movers aren’t your thing, but you want something better than a basic tongue jack. That’s where Trailer Valet’s JX series jacks shine, side‑mount or center‑mount drill jacks that lift 2,000–5,000 lb easily when paired with a drill. They’re compact, affordable, and ideal if your need is occasional, just to lift and level, not steer or push your trailer around.

Go Big or Stay Home: Remote-Controlled Movers
If luxury and ease are high on your list (and your trailer is a beast), it doesn’t get much better than the RVR series. With models for 3,500 lb, 5,500 lb, 9,000 lb, and even 12,000 lb trailers, these movers do it all: battery power, caterpillar-style drive for traction on rough terrain, and wireless remote control so you can stand beside your trailer and guide it precisely, even around tight corners.

Picking the Right Model: A Story, Not a Spreadsheet
Imagine you tow a 4,500 lb travel trailer. A 5X will do the job just fine, it’s light, nimble, and won’t break the bank. But if that trailer pushes closer to 8,000 lb or you dread the physical effort of cranking, the XL or MV PRO gives you more peace of mind (and easier moves). If you’re regularly moving 10,000 lb rigs, the smart power and gearing of those larger movers isn’t just convenience, it’s essential.
Maybe you only ever need to lift your trailer, not push it around. A JX drill jack can save time and your back without needing a dolly at all.
Or picture this: you park under a tree on gravel, and the terrain is uneven. A remote-controlled RVR model gives you smooth, five-point precision from a distance, no bouncing or struggle.
From One Trawler to Another
It boils down to knowing your routine and your rig. Keep it light and DIY? Go with the 5X. Regularly handling heavier loads? Go for the XL or MV PRO. Want power without drive? Try a JX jack. Want to say goodbye to manual work entirely? The RVR remote movers are the luxe option, but worth it if you value convenience and control.
Each model is built tough: steel frames, reliable motors or jacks, and rust-resistant coatings, so you’re getting quality no matter which path you choose .
Pick based on how often, how much, and how far. That way, your Trailer Valet won’t just be a tool, it’ll be a trusted partner you’re excited to use.
