Distrust if you should choose this wheel because I do not know what it was automatic and they explain nothing! I chose it because it retracts completely and thus avoids having to unscrew every time BUT, if you are towing with a classic car there is a problem because the wheel needs a good ground clearance for unfold vertically so that the automatic mechanism engages and become operational if not impossible to lift the trailer or caravan. I think it is ideal for a commercial vehicle. Also attention to the time of delivery, ensure that the grease has not taken a hit (that was my case, I had not seen before cardboard delivery boy exploded) as a no non-European inch screws hard to find. Otherwise wheel and pretty fast delivery.
