An improved electric tongue jack with one or more memory buttons to retract or extend to a predetermined desired height. A first memory button is provided to engage in a memorizing operation to store a desired actual height of the hitch. When the first memory button is subsequently engaged, the motor gear assembly is controlled to return the hitch to the desired height. A second memory button is used as an automatic retraction for the jack leg once the trailer has been set on the hitch ball/tow vehicle. Once the auto retract location has been set, the user may push the auto retract button once and the leg will automatically retract to the preset height. The memory buttons are controlled by software in a printed circuit board inside the head of the jack.
