It is the black 3500# one with two built in lights on it. It plugs in to your 7 pin trailer hitch or you can wire it to your onboard trailer battery that powers your winch. Had it for over 6 months and no problems. Sorry I don't know the brand. Do your homework though, you can pay a lot or a little for the exact same unit! Jim

Sounds like the same one I got.......
One thing that I took into consideration when purchasing a jack is some have a head (motor) so big you can't lower the tail gate on the truck. The style jack I got the tail gate just clears....
