  • 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...

  • How Does Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Install on a 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

  • Factory Brake Controller Port Location on a 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  • For some applications, it is located underneath and to the left of the steering column above the brake pedal. on others, it can be found beneath the dash, near the center console. It should be a gray colored plug that will have 6 pins/holes. There should only be 4 or 5 wires. I have included a link to the installation details for the wiring harness, # 3035-P for you.

  • Understanding Overrun Brake Towing Capacity of 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  • Overrun brakes are brakes that use the inertia of the trailer against the vehicle braking to activate trailer brakes. For trailer brakes this is most commonly a style known as surge brakes that use hydraulic pressure. Installing a brake controller in your 2018 Range Rover Sport to operate trailer electric brakes would provide the same purpose. A really popular option is the Brake EVN # TK63VR which to install in your vehicle would only require the # 3035-P which plugs in under the dash.

  • Pin Out of Brake Controller Connector on 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  • Other than some slight cosmetic changes, there haven't been any appreciable changes in the chassis of the Land Rover Range Rover Sport since the first model year of the 2nd generation in 2013. Tekonsha/Draw-Tite nor the rest of the companies have tested the pinout of the 2021 model, but there's no reason to believe it's been changed from the 2020 model. I've heard nothing that indicates the pinout of the 2021 is any different, but you can confirm this for yourself as described below. The...

  • Why Don't Trailer Hitch Installs Require Loc-Tite
  • Hitch hardware does not require Loc-Tite or any other thread lockers. Reason being the bolts are torque-to-yield bolts which means they stretch slightly as they tighten which works as a thread locker. This means that the hardware is one-time-use too.

  • Curt 4-Pole Wiring Harness C59236 Installation in 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  • I suggest confirming that when you re-connect the tail light wiring plug in your 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport all lights operate properly. This would be the brake lights (when the pedal is pressed), the tail lights (when the vehicle headlights are turned on) and the turn signals when these are engaged. I suspect they will but it is helpful to confirm that all of the required signals are present at the lights before wiring in the trailer harness. On your vehicle when the connector...

  • Will Installation of Trailer Hitch Receiver Void Warranty on 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
  • Installation of a hitch like the Curt # C13243 on your 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport will not void the warranty. It is not uncommon for a dealer to tell a customer that it will void the warranty. However, consumers are protected under the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This allows aftermarket parts to be installed without warranty issues unless the installation or part caused a problem. The simple act of installing a hitch or other aftermarket part does not void the warranty.

  • 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...

  • Best Mounting Orientation of WAVT2-WHMAV2 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent
  • If you mount the Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # WHMAV2-WAVT2 with the exterior part's flat slotted side facing forward (to increase air flow) there will definitely be a greater probability for rain and splashed water to enter the trailer. Still, as you noted from the customer-submitted photos we show on that item's page some have done this, and surely for the same reason. If you happened to stay in dry/desert areas this will be less of a concern but since you are in the...
