Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2012 Land Rover LR2
Question:
I want to install a trailer hitch on my 2012 LR2 Land Rover. My questions are as follows: What hitch will work best as a bolt on where I dont have to cut the rear bumper? What electricial unit do you recommend for this vehicle. Keep in mind I had an after market rear view camera installed. Thanks

For your 2012 Land Rover LR2 the Draw Tite hitch part # 75688 would be my recommendation as it fits your vehicle, does not require drilling and because it comes with a bracket for trailer wiring already welded to it.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C59236 which is confirmed as a fit. Then for a bracket to bolt to the hitch wiring bracket you'd want the part # 18144.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
