Plan to buy a tire jack for my 2019 TAB 400 BD. Seek a recommendation from someone who has made a tire jack selection and is pleased with the product. Thanks.

My jack system may be considered overkill by some people.
I like it because it’s also useful for off-road recovery scenarios in my 4WD truck.
I carry a Hi-Lift jack with their Lift-Mate accessory, as well as an aluminum axle stand.
I've had very good success with this equipment in a number of different applications.
(I also carry several other accessories for the Hi-Lift jack, which are primarily useful during off-road recoveries.)

I found the jack that came with my Ford F-250 is just about ideal. it has a good saddle that fits on the bracket attaching the axle to the frame and has enough lift to fit under a flat and still lift the tire high enough to get it off and a new one on. Pricey if you buy it from ford but you "might' be able to find one at a junk yard. I say "might" because jacks seem to go fast at junkyards for some reason.
What ever you do, don't let the weight of the trailer rest on the axle--either on the jack or on a jack stand. That will bend the Axle. Keep any supports on the frame either on or as close to the reinforcing points as you can get.

I tow with a Ford F-150; same jack as F-250 maybe? Will check. Thanks.
Good Sam answer is not reasonable, reliable or useful option in most situations.2019 TAB 400 Boondock -

On my 320 I've used a small trolley type jack.
It is low enough to get under the frame when you have a flat and goes high enough to get an inflated tire back on.
But, its a pain trying to get it lined up just right to be able to use the handle to pump it up.
I've seen these on Amazon at different prices, accessories, and lifting weights.
They look interesting, but I haven't tried one.
