  • The Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 is 8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright bar of the carrier.

  • Recommended Hitch and Towing Bike Rack for a 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE
  • It sounds like you have the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE. For this model vehicle Curt has a 2 inch trailer hitch available # 13456. The only catch is if you have a full size spare below your vehicle, after the installation of the hitch you will no longer be able to store it there. I have linked some roof mounted spare tire racks to this page for you to check out. A bike rack can mount directly into the 2 inch receiver but it sounds like you would prefer to mount a bike rack...

  • Recommended Hitch Extender for Towing with a 2008 Range Rover
  • Since hitch extenders like the 11" Roadmaster # RM-071 you show in your pictures reduces the weight rating of the hitch by 50% we typically recommend avoiding them as a solution. For your application we have ball mounts with extended shanks that don't reduce the weight capacity of your hitch and that's what I recommend going with. For a long ball mount we have the Brophy Ball Mount # BM20 which has a 3/4" rise/2" drop and measures 13-1/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to center...

  • Brake Controller Install Harness Recommendation for 2010 Land Rover Range Rover HSE
  • For a 2010 Land Rover Range Rover HSE the correct brake controller install harness is the part # 3035-P. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller...

  • Rhino Rack Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Range Rover HSE

  • 2011 Range Rover L322 Snow Chains Recommendation Tire Size 255/50R20
  • I have a great tire chain solution. Since you have very limited inner sidewall clearance on your vehicle and are running a different tire size than what your vehicle came with the best solution we have is the Konig K-Summit chains part # TH02230K77. Unlike most tire chains these do not require any inner sidewall clearance so we can promise that you won't have any clearance issues.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Land Rover Range Rover
  • For your 2019 Land Rover Range Rover with a naked roof there is only one option available and that is the SeaSucker roof rack part # 298-SX6000B which uses vacuum cups to attach to the roof of your vehicle. This rack design is very strong, requires no permanent modifications to your vehicle, and also is easily transferable to future vehicles so it really is a great option. I attached a picture of what it looks like installed as well as a review video on a similar Range Rover for more info...

  • Recommended Extended Ball Mount with 3-1/2 Inch Drop
  • I recommend taking a look at the Curt Dual Length Ball Mount # C45230 for your application. This ball mount features a 3-5/8 inch drop but also has two separate pin holes that let you change the length of the shank so you can get a bit more extension. When using the second hitch pin hole, there is a distance of 11-1/8 inches from the center of the pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole. The ball mount has a weight capacity of 7,500 pounds and a ball hole diameter of 1 inch. For...

  • How to Install a 7-Way Wiring Harness and Brake Controller on a 2008 Land Rover Range Rover HSE
  • I have everything that you will need to install a 7-way trailer connector on your 2008 Land Rover Range Rover HSE but they do not make any direct plug and play kits if that is what you are looking for and you will need to use an adapter. For starters, you will first need to hardwire a 4-way trailer connector into your tail lights and for this I recommend using the Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit part # C59496. Once this is installed you will then need to use a 4 to 7-way adapter like the 7-Way...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution and Anti-Sway System For 2004 Range Rover And 7500 GVWR
  • For a weight distribution system with anti-sway, you want to look at the total tongue weight of you vehicle and trailer. The total tongue weight is the loaded tongue weight of your trailer combined with any cargo weight behind the rear axle of your towing vehicle. For your 2004 Range Rover, that would be your cargo area when loaded. Your trailer tongue weight when loaded is normally between 10 and 15% of your total trailer weight. With this in mind and considering for some cargo weight...

  • Recommendation for Trailer Light and Brake Controller Wiring for 2000 Land Rover Range Rover
  • We do not have a custom trailer wiring harness available for your 2000 Land Rover Range Rover but I may have a solution for you. If you feel comfortable circut testing the wires on your Range Rover's taillight wiring, we do offer a Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Wiring Harness, # 119250KIT, that could be used. I spoke with my contact at one of our manufacturers and he said that the vast majority of Range Rovers came from the factory equipped with a hitch and trailer wiring. Therefore,...

  • Recommendation For Brake Controller Wiring Harness For 2007 Land Rover Range Rover HSE
  • Based on my research, so long as your 2007 Land Rover Ranger Rover HSE comes with a factory tow package then all you will need to do is plug the Tekonsha Wiring Adapter, Item # 3035-P, into a built-in harness beneath the dash. I have attached links to an article and a video for you to check out.

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2012 Range Rover HSE with Factory 7-Way
  • Your 2012 Land Rover Range Rover HSE having a 7-way connector does not mean it has a brake controller installed. It is a good thing it has a 7-way as that makes installing a controller easy, but yours would only have trailer lighting options active currently. For a brake controller you need an install harness and the controller itself. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it...

  • Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2008 Land Rover Range Rover HSE
  • First, using a brake controller is a good idea because without using one, the weight and momentum of the trailer will keep pushing the vehicle forward when braking. This will increase wear and tear on your Land Rover and could push you right into an intersection. Braking would need to start sooner and will last longer since the vehicle will be braking for 2 instead of just slowing and stopping itself. For a brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885, because it is reliable,...

  • Roof Rack and Cargo Basket Recommendations for a 2006 Range Rover
  • Most roof mounted accessories will require a range or specific crossbar spread. You can get an idea of the crossbar spread on your 2006 Range Rover by measuring from the center of one fitting to the center of the other fitting if you do not have a roof rack. The Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, # TH859XT, requires a crossbar spread between 20 inches and 37 inches. I have attached demonstration videos of the Thule Canyon cargo basket for you to check out.

  • Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendations for a 2006 Land Rover LR3
  • In my opinion, the bars that will look the most OEM and offer a variety of accessory options are the Thule Aero Blade bars. These Thule bars offer 90 percent less wind noise and 55 percent less drag than other bars. The elliptical blade-like shape is more like what you would see in an OEM application. Check out the link I provided that has all of the available roof racks with Aeroblade bars that will work on your vehicle. You will need to select the style of your vehicle. All current...

  • How to Install Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket on 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  • The Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SPS5084-T400 referenced in your question is designed to mount to aftermarket Thule Roof Racks. For a Thule Roof Rack that is confirmed to fit your 2003 Land Rover Range Rover, I recommend the Thule Traverse Square Bar Roof Rack. This system consists of # TH712500 for the 60 inch Square Load Bars, # TH480R for the Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, and # THKIT1274 for the Fit Kit. Once installed, this will give you a sturdy roof rack system with...

  • 2008 Range Rover Brake Controller Recommendation
  • Anytime the weight of the trailer is over half the weight of the towed vehicle it's strongly recommended you install a brake controller. In the event you need to make an emergency stop a brake controller makes a huge difference. Since you have a 7-way installed already the easiest solution is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180. Basically this just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to your smart phone is ready to tow. No lengthy install or complicated wiring at all! I attached...

  • Could OptiMate Solar Duo Solar Charging System Keep RV Battery Topped Off
  • As long as where you plan to store the RV has decent sunlight the OptiMate Solar Duo Solar Charging System with Controller # MA49JR would do a great job keeping the battery topped off. It can put out up to a charge of up to .83 amps which is going to be enough to keep it charged.
