  • How to Determine What Wheels Snow Chains Should Be on For a 2013 Land Rover LR4
  • Ideally you would want to put snow chains on all 4 wheels of a vehicle, this will give you the best traction for braking, turning, and accelerating. Otherwise, if one set of chains is used you would then want to put them on the primary drive wheels of the vehicle. Which in your case should be the rear wheels. However, you should check the owners manual of your vehicle for restrictions and snow chain usage recommendations as well.

  • Troubleshooting 7-Way to 5-Way Adapter Where Stop/Turn Circuits Arent Active
  • First thing you will want to do is use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the stop/turn circuits of the 7-way you have on your vehicle. It sounds like maybe those circuits are shorted out and that is why it seems like the adapter # A75TB isn't working properly. If this is the case you will want to check the conditions of the wiring on the back of the 7-way as well as check for and clean any corrosion you find on the 7-way pins. The next step will be to connect the # A75TB to...

  • Trailer Hitch and Thule 4-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Land Rover LR4
  • We do have a trailer hitch receiver and I'd be happy to recommend a Thule 4-bike rack for your 2016 Land Rover LR4. To start, the hitch that fits is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13456. This is a confirmed fit by the manufacturer, and I have added a cut out from our reviews section a customer sent in that put this hitch on their '16 LR4. I have also added a link to the instructions for you to check out. This hitch has a 2" receiver and there are a couple Thule 4-bike racks I recommend,...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For 2013 Land Rover LR4 And Airstream Trailer
  • You will need to check out your trailer hitch and see if you can use a weight distribution system with it. On most trailer hitches, using a weight distribution system will increase the towing capacity as well as the tongue weight capacity by quite a lot. For example, the hitch we offer that will work with your 2013 LR4 is part # 13456. This hitch has a 6,000-lb towing capacity with a 600-lb tongue weight capacity. With weight distribution those numbers jump to 8,000-lbs and 800-lbs tongue...

  • Can Weight Distribution be Used on 2016 Land Rover LR4
  • The hitches we offer for your 2016 Land Rover LR4 are rated for use with weight distribution like the Curt part # 13456. It's capacities with a WD system jump from 6,000/600 lbs to 8,000/800 lbs.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Land Rover LR4
  • The only trailer hitch that will fit your 2015 Land Rover LR4 is # 13456. With this hitch you will NOT be able to keep the full size spare under the vehicle. It would have to be carried elsewhere for the hitch to fit. If you wanted to move forward with this hitch then if you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8...

  • 2015 Land Rover LR4 Trailer Icon Disappearing When Towing Trailer with LED Lights
  • It sounds like the 7-way on your 2015 Land Rover LR4 is not getting the signal that the trailer is connected at times, which you are correct, is due to the LED lights on your trailer, and the fact that they have such little power draw. That means the 7-way is not "recognizing" the trailer connection when you are in reverse or signaling. The 7-Way Trailer Adapter for Towing Trailers with LED Lights # C57003 was a good idea, but if that did not work the next option I suggest is to add LED...

  • Thule Snow Chain Recommendation for 2012 Land Rover LR4 with 255/55R19 Tires
  • Since your tires are brand new they will most likely last you a while. I would go with the Thule chains part # TH01571265 that you referenced since they are confirmed as a fit for the 255/55R19. This chain size will not fit the other two sizes you mentioned so I would wait till you know for certain that you would upgrade to the larger tires before you pick out a set of chains for them as well. I attached an install video for these chains for you to check out as well. Be sure to check...

  • Recommended Roof Basket For 2011 Land Rover LR4
  • Surco does not have a roof basket that can easily attach to your 2011 Land Rover LR4 so I do not recommend going with a Surco basket. Instead, I would look into a platform rack that can attach to your roof without needing to install crossbars. The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System - 84" Long x 56" Wide # RR28AB would fit regardless if your roof is naked or if it has factory roof tracks. You can then add various accessories to the basket, such as the Ladder # RRRAFL.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Carbon Frame and Wheel Bike for More than 2 Bikes
  • You are correct and you need a bike rack that only touches the tires and not a frame mount. So, for a lower priced option that can carry up to 4 bikes the best option is the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # Y02443-2. I know this rack is not inexpensive, but this style of rack is considered to be the premiere style and costs the most to make properly. Also, when you need to expand past two bikes this rack also gets quite a bit more expensive unlike hanging...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2014 Land Rover LR4
  • You do have to have a brake controller installed in your 2014 Land Rover LR4 to operate the brakes of your trailer. Without one installed the brakes will not activate at all. The brake controller I recommend is the Curt Echo part # C51180. This controller is the easiest to install of all the controllers we offer and works great as well. All you have to do to install it is plug it into the 7-way you have at the back of your vehicle and then sync your smartphone to it with Bluetooth. This...

  • Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System That Fits 2012 Land Rover LR4
  • You are correct. The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System # JA9058 that you referenced will attach directly to the ditch you have on the roof of your 2012 Land Rover LR4 once the factory rails are removed. I attached a link to the install instructions for this as well.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Lighting that Stops Functioning When Headlights are On
  • Your main problem is an insufficient ground for the trailer wiring. Try improving the connection of the main ground wire of the trailer wiring harness. Make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface. Or you can run all of the trailer wires back to the main ground. This is actually the ideal solution. But you can also check the current grounds for the lights to make sure they are making a solid connection to a clean metal surface. When the vehicle headlights and trailer running lights...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2016 Land Rover LR4
  • Happy to help out! I do recommend installing a trailer hitch on your 2016 Land Rover LR4 and using a hitch mounted bike rack because there is more versatility in the types of racks that can be used, plus it's just easier to mess with. There are roof rack options as well as trunk mount racks that use straps to install on your vehicle. They have their times and places but a hitch mount rack is the best option overall. For a trailer hitch we have the Curt # 13456 which gives you the standard...

  • Sticking with the Yakima theme of your crossbars we have several options in varying lengths and capacities. Yakima has their LoadWarrior and MegaWarrior Roof Cargo Carriers that will be great choices to use on your 2013 Land Rover LR4 that are also compatible with Aero crossbars. LoadWarrior - # Y07070 Short Length Small Capacity LoadWarrior - # Y07070-74 Short Length Large Capacity MegaWarrior - # Y07080 Medium Length Large Capacity MegaWarrior - # Y07080-82 Medium Length Extra Large...
