Expert Answers about Land Rover


  • Are The Batteries That Come With the Titan Disc Brake Kit and BrakeRite Actuator Really Needed
  • The Titan Disc Brake Kit and BrakeRite Electric-Hydraulic Actuator part # T4843800 comes with two breakaway batteries which are just small batteries responsible for applying the brakes on the trailer in the event it becomes detached from the tow vehicle and are required by law in most states. Therefore, yes you do need to install the breakaway batteries that come with the kit. Please note, the 6 volt batteries you have on the trailer serve an entirely different purpose and cannot be used...

  • Adding a 5-Way Trailer Connector to Hook Up to Boat Trailer
  • You're correct that you need a 4-way to 5-way adapter, like part # 47515, to have the proper connection on your 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport to your boat trailer. The adapter plugs into the 4-way you've already installed and has the additional wire that needs to be spliced into the Rover's reverse light circuit using the included quick splice connector. I've linked a video of the install on a different vehicle just so you have the basic idea. The tricky part is finidng the reverse...

  • Will a Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Range Rover Evoque Require Trimming or Interfere with Camera/Sensors
  • We do have the Curt trailer hitch for the 2012 Range Rover Evoque, # C13128. There is no drilling required for installation but the exhaust will need to be temporarily lowered for installation and there is some minor fascia and heat shield trimming required. I have included a link to the installation instructions so you can see a little more detail on the trimming that is needed. There are also some lovely pictures in the hitch instructions that show the finished result of the installation....

  • Does the Install of Curt Hitch 13456 on a 2006 Land Rover LR3 Require Spare Tire Removal
  • Curt states that a full-sized spare will not fit on your 200 Land Rover LR3 with their hitch part # 13456 installed at the same time. You might consider tracking down a smaller spare so that you can still have a spare with this hitch installed. We had the chance to install this hitch on a 2006 Land Rover LR3 just like yours. Check out the video I attached that will walk you through the install. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900....

  • How Does Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Install on a 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack roof rack # RSPT508 will install in factory holes already on the roof of your 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The plastic molding that runs down the tracks on either side of the roof is removed, and then trimmed. The roof rack tracks are installed into existing hardware, and the plastic roof molding will install around the tracks once it is trimmed. Purchase of the rack does indeed include the hardware you will need for installation. This roof rack is going to...

  • 7-Way/4-Pole Trailer Connector Installation-2004 Land Rover Discovery
  • For a 4-pole trailer connector, you'll need part # 119178KIT. The wiring harness/converter would wire directly into the circuits feeding your taillight assemblies. I've linked you to a video showing the wiring harness being installed on a 2006 Honda Element. The wire colors on your Land Rover would be different, but the testing to determine which wire carries which circuit and the procedure would be very similar for your vehicle. If you needed a 7-way trailer connector and your trailer...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Connection Points for 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Dynamic
  • Thank you for the information. The instructions might be better off saying that the connectors are usually on the passenger side but could be in an alternate location such as the driver side. This is not the first time I have heard of this. Subaru is actually notorious for moving the connection points to different locations. This is the first time I have heard of the issue on a Land Rover though. Interestingly, the other harness for the 2012 Evoque, # C56159, just says behind the bumper...

  • Will the Trailer Wiring Harness Affect a 2008 Land Rover LR2 Back-up System
  • No, the # C59496 trailer wiring harness for the 2008 LR2 by Land Rover will not affect the back-up sensors on your vehicle. No other parts are required to install a 4-Way trailer connection. This harness is in no way tied into the reverse circuit and only uses the vehicles brake, turn and tail light signals as a switch, the power for the trailer lighting comes from the vehicle battery. I have posted instructions for the # C59496 below.

  • Routing Wiring for T-One 4-Way Harness on a 2015 Land Rover Evoque
  • As long as the T-One # 118624 wiring isn't touching the heat shield it is in a good place on your 2015 Land Rover Evoque. I have attached an installation video of us installing this wiring kit on a 2013 Evoque that you can reference. If you plan on using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75227 for towing then to complete a towing setup you also need a ball mount kit. I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900 because it includes two ball mounts, one with a 3/4” rise...

  • Trimming Required to Install Curt 2-Inch Hitch C13396 on 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport
  • Curt 2-inch hitch # C13396 is a confirmed fit on the 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport without the 5+2 seating feature. This hitch installation will require trimming of both the underbody panel and lower fascia. There can be some variance in the exact fit of these trim components on the vehicle and this means that there can also be some slight variance in the amount of trimming required. Curt's instructions, which are linked for you, recommend trimming out a section of the bumper fascia...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller on 2000 Range Rover HSE
  • If the trailer you're wanting to pull has electric brakes, and you want them to operate, you will need a brake controller. Having a dealer-installed 7-way won't eliminate the need for a brake controller. It sounds as if you've got a good handle on what you need. I'm not sure what '4 wire adapter kit ' you're speaking of consists of, but if it provides a 4-pole trailer connector for your Range Rover, the only other parts you'd need are the # ETBC7 brake controller installation kit you referenced...

  • Does the Draw-Tite Hitch 75688 for a 2008 Land Rover LR2 Require Trimming of the Rear Fascia
  • I could see needing to trim the rear fascia for the Land Rover OEM hitch, but the Draw-Tite hitch does not require fascia trimming. It is designed to fit just below the rear bumper. I imagine the hitch that Land Rover offers is designed to fit and look like the optional factory hitch. Below I have added a link to the instructions for the Draw-Tite hitch, 75688, so you can read through the instructions. There is also a diagram that shows where the hitch will be positioned in relation to...

  • Towing a 2013 Dutchmen Kodiak 241 RBSL on a 2008 Range Rover Sport HSE
  • According to your specifications, your hitch will be able to pull your trailer. However, there are some things to keep in mind. First, the weight capacities of your vehicle and weight distribution bars must be taken into consideration as well. The lowest weight capacity out of all three of these (including your hitch) will be the maximum you can hook up. For your vehicle, check your owner's manual for its capacity. Check the weight capacity of your distribution bars' manual as well, paying...

  • Wiring 2009 Land Rover LR2 for Electric Trailer Brakes
  • To actuate the electric brakes on the horse trailer, you will need to install a brake controller in your Land Rover. I would recommend a proportional controller, such as the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. The Prodigy is one of our best selling controllers, has been for years primarily because it works great and is very easy to use. You will also need the Brake Controller Installation Kit with 6-way connector, part # ETBC6, which includes the adapter you were mentioning. The installation...

  • Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Installation in 2015 Land Rover Range Rover
  • It sounds like you are hardwiring your Prodigy P2 # 90885 trailer brake controller. If the controller is not powering up the issue would be on the black wire that delivers 12V operating power to the controller via a circuit breaker like # PK54230. The white ground wire also of course must be connected to the battery negative terminal. You can refer to the linked article on brake controller installation to see the complete wiring scheme. The red wire connects to the cold side of the brake...

  • Will Curt 4-Way Trailer Connector Work With 2009 Land Rover LR2?
  • The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 will work on your 2009 Land Rover LR2, and you won't need a dealer to program it. Controller Area Network (CAN bus) has been around since 2003 and has been in most vehicles since 2008, so you don't have anything to worry about. I've added a links to a review video and install of this connector for you to take a look at.

  • Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for a 2013 Land Rover Evoque
  • I spoke to my contact at Tekonsha and he said that the port for installing a brake controller on your 2013 Range Rover Land Rover Evoque is under the dash near the center console. He said that all models of your vehicle should have the port. My contact at Curt who also makes brake controllers confirmed the same thing. I attached a video that shows how the # 3035-P harness will install in a similar vehicle. My contact at Tekonsha said that the port will be in the same place on your vehicle....
