Trailer Towing With A Friction Sway Control Vs WDH
CoreyS, this is a good theory. While we would not know whether your postulation is true or not without the appropriate engineering anslysis, these are the types of things that many LR owners like you and me would like to know. Logical technical explanations like this (or possibly others), if... -

Trailer Towing With A Friction Sway Control Vs WDH
Thanks, grommet, for pointing out that there is only one manual for Discovery 3. Based on that, I have the following thoughts. First of all, I don't know if Discovery 3 trucks are: (1) all equiped with the coil suspension only or that (2) some of them have the air supsension as an option... -

Trailer Towing With A Friction Sway Control Vs WDH
Just talked to a sales professional at my local LR dealer. He pulled out an owner's maunal on a Land Rover Discovery that did not have an air suspension system and indeed there was the same instruction that an equilising or other form of weight distributing hitch should not be used on that... -

Trailer Towing With A Friction Sway Control Vs WDH
Safari, thanks for sharing your experience with me. Your truck/trailer combination is quite similar to what I have. However, it is very interesting that your towing behavior appears to be very different. To answer your questions, 790 lbs is the load added to the rear axle of the truck when... -

Trailer Towing With A Friction Sway Control Vs WDH
Below is a message that I posted sometime ago under an old (and long) thread. Since there has been limited response so far, I thought I may just edit and repost it as a separate thread so that it will no longer be buried in page 3 of the old thread in order to get some additional exposure ... -

LR3 Travel Trailer Towing Experience
Kenjengrif, I tow a 24 feet HTT with a weight of about 4500# using my 2005 V8 LR3. I found that there is a significant difference in the sway behavior with or without the friction sway control bar. However, I am still not totally happy with the friction sway control system particularly when... -

LR3 Travel Trailer Towing Experience
Kenjengrif, I also use a Prodigy and it works great. BTW, do you use a WDH or only a friction sway control? I am currently using a EZ LIFT friciton sway control and interested in hearing from fellow LR3ers who have actual experience in comparing the performance of WDH vs friction sway control... -

LR3 Reliability, Towing Capability
FloridaLr3, this is one of the few instances that I have read about the actual experiences on comparing LR3 towing w/ and w/o WDH. This is very useful information. Thanks! Of course, this makes me want to understand even more why LR3 has such an issue but not many other trucks that also have... -

LR3 Reliability, Towing Capability
Good to hear that. Which WDH that you are using, an Equal-i-zer or a Reese Dual Cam? What are the length and weight of the trailer? Did you feel any improvement on sway control? I have also heard about people postulate that the incompatability with the automatic leveling air suspension... -

LR3 Reliability, Towing Capability
Randy, to my disappointment, I noticed the statement about WDH on the LR3 owner's manual too. But do you know why WDH cannot be used on LR3? I am pulling a 23' camper with my LR3 and would like to have the capability of using a WDH. I have been asking this question to a number of people...
