Yes mine has brakes on one axle because of the weight. I believe the LR4 manual recommends brakes over 1,000lbs.
My first boat was an 18' and didn't have brakes. With a 21', I'd want brakes on the trailer.
Trailer Boat Magazine finds that boat trailers are typically in the 5-7% range. Boats are almost always stern heavy. So I would have to agree with TBM. A true way to get the weight is with a scale and fulcrum method. If you exceed the percentages, you can adjust the trailer winch forward or back...
I don't know the exact tongue weight but I'm sure its under 550lbs. Most of the weight (engine, drive and fuel tank) is at the stern of the boat and over the tandem axle.
I can see that camping trailers would have a increased tongue weight because the amenities can be spaced throughout the...
This past weekend my wife and I pulled the boat for the season. We purchased our LR4 this past summer so this was the true test. I have pulled my boat and trailer with my brother in-laws Disco II. The shorter wheelbase made it for a rough ride and lots of transmission 'hunting'.

For all DC, MD & VA members, check out this new shop that opened recently. A neighbor of mine had some work done and was very happy. A great alternative to the dealer.

I agree the build quality and materials used is top notch - especially compared to the older Disco's. I did notice the plastic inside of the center console box was cheap and thin, but it is just the inside of a box.
We have a 2010 LR4 that does not have the auto recirculation with pollution sensor. Instead it's that standard recirc. on/off button. I have noticed that if I am using the climate control on auto and the recirculation ON; after a period of time the recirc. will turn OFF. Is there another type of...
I just checked the manual (2010 LR4) and it indicated the xenon are 55w. Also the halogen headlamps are H7 55w. I would like to order the kit. Do I get H7s or H11s as others have stated?
Yep, it's lawyer speak. The manual suggests you can do this so you can adjust the height to hook up a trailer.
The hazard symbol on the fob is what I believe is a panic button.
Yes. Go to page 162 of the owners manual and it describes the operation.
The truck must be stopped. Doors closed. Hazards on.
Hold lock and unlock to raise.
Hold lock and trunk to lower.
