It's Done. LR4 is gone. Compos, OEM Hitch for sale
Yup, they need a trailer towing info page that brings it all together. As previously noted I run reese hitch and Rhino., nothing more. I will add one item to the list. Maintenance of the LR hitch is important. I've seen several reports of the hitch dropping out of the wedge recepticle. Thinking... -

Snow tires on 19's
We run General Grabber AT2's in LT285/60R18 on our LR4 for Colorado winters. Edit add: Note that General skips right over 19". Solve the 19" problem first and then pick a tire. (20" is inappropriate for Colorado) -

Can someone post where LR mounted Brake Controller LR4
The controller cable / chassis harnesses don't leave a lot of latitude. Not sure there are extension harnesses. Could make your own. So far the position works for me. -

Another perspective. Over the years we have had many camping friends. Many became infected with 2-foot-itis which ...... requires a bigger tow vehicle! They graduated from Jeeps to Trucks to 3/4 ton trucks to ...... They loved to harass us and tell us we needed bigger. (We tent and pop-up... -

After reading some articles and forum post on recalls, the OEM hitch is out of the question for me. TOW BAR ON THE DISCOVERY 3 Need an update from Todd on Rhino findings. I'm a early adopter of the Rhino and so far no issues -

Suggestions On How To Sell My LR4 (Sad Day)
So you haven't tried the LR base configuration. Doubt you will find a recommendation that a WDH/Anti-Sway is NOT needed. Those are options and opinions and most people want to open your wallet and sell you product. In addition LR is a small participant in the RV market, likely mostly ignored... -

Maybe I need more coffee but have you tried the base configuration with the LR4? - Rhino hitch - Correctly rated receiver hitch (there's lot's of low grade / low rated crap out there) - No WDH - Sway control managed by vehicle (see article referenced to ensure it is enabled, might need... -

Does the trailer stability assist feature interfere with BC or Wt dist. hitch?
I run LT285/60-18's. All tires vary a little but suspect those are not too far different. But the OEM hitch makes it impossible to fit an inflated tire. I'm happy with the Rhino hitch, fully inflated spare in its normal location , air suspension leveling and trailer stability assist. -

Does the trailer stability assist feature interfere with BC or Wt dist. hitch?
The standard LR hitch is a plow and does not allow oversize tires to be stored in the normal space. -

Does the trailer stability assist feature interfere with BC or Wt dist. hitch?
Thanks Mike for the LR clarification. It agrees with the AU site. This is what I have been saying: 1) A weight distribution hitch will effect the air suspension on your vehicle so it's not recommended on our vehicle with independent suspension and air springs. The LR air suspension will level... -

Does the trailer stability assist feature interfere with BC or Wt dist. hitch?
Hmmm.... A topic beat to death but always comes back. - I can't see TSA interfering with brake controllers. It is simply going to apply the trailer fitted brakes based on how you have them loaded/sensitive. I would allow the trailer brakes some room to function, not set to hard stop the... -

Never ending TPMS saga

Big Big Issue with my 2012 LR4!!
The dealer or JLR is standing behind the engine, replacing it with new V8. Your not sure who is providing the $$$'s and really you should not care. Catastrophic engine failures after the end of the warranty but of short out-of-warranty periods sometimes are taken care of depending on the... -

Camping Trailer
Some further thoughts. In this case the tow vehicle is not your standard solid axle suspension where springs rates are modified to achieve load ratings. These are simple and on the dumb end of the scale. Land Rover on the other hand is air suspension, EAS, cross-linked, optimized for on and... -

You could be over-inflating for the setup. Try backing off from 60psi to 50psi. You still have stiffer sidewalls and load range E. Buy a infrared temp gun to measure tire temp, and for that matter everything else. Measure the LR4 tire temps and trailer tire temps. You will get a feel for... -

Camping Trailer
When I moved up to Load Range E I went with General Grabber AT2's. I suspect the general rules are the same. While the tires are rates at 80 psi I do not keep mine at that level. More in the 42-48psi range based on wear patterns. On a recent rotate and balance at the tire dealer they mentioned... -

Camping Trailer
In addition to add the Rhino hitch to your short list, consider. When I picked up the LR4 it still had P-rated standard spec tires. When towing my trailer with OEM hitch I did 'feel' the rear tire sidewalls flex. Why wouldn't they considering added trailer weight, camping 'stuff' loaded in... -

Not sure I want Google as their quality has declined over the years. I would prefer a standardized interface where I could use my vendor of choice. LR provides the head unit, I provide the back-end unit (logical split guessed at here)
