Thanks. Floor length is not really that important. Just trying to get an idea of the length/size of the "box" that will be blown around in the wind. Another question - and I sent you an email on this - what tires do you run and what do you have the PSI set at when towing. I'm trying to...- danrhiggins

PSI for BFG KO2? Normal and Towing
I've been trying to find data on where to set the PSI on my KO2s both in standard mode and when towing. My greatest concern is when towing with ~700 lbs of tongue weight added to the rear. Has anyone found a table or chart that indicates what they were engineered for? (I've had issues when...- danrhiggins

This. This. Am I confusing the "feel" of towing with the LR4 and its air suspension with trailer sway and loss of control? To be honest, I sometimes feel like the LR4 is a little "loose" on me. It seems I have felt this more since putting on the KO2s. Or maybe my rear suspension is getting...- danrhiggins

Thanks! That helps. I have BFG 265/60/18s LT E rating on Compomotive wheels. As you indicate they have a max PSI of 80 and are rated at 3,000# at max psi. Of course, I would never get close to that much weight. When not towing I have them at 44-50 which is not far from your 42-48. My...- danrhiggins

That is quite a trailer you are towing! Remind me again, Chris, what the total weight and tongue weight are on that trailer? I assume that the "31" designation makes yours much longer than mine. Mine has an overall length of 27' and a floor length of 22.5' With yours being so much longer...- danrhiggins

I also look at the Airstream forum from time to time. Their trailers tend to be heavier and there are a lot of Hensley fans there. As for the Andersen, I think it is probably a great option in a lot of situations. But at some point may not have enough to offset marginal balances in the TV vs...- danrhiggins

Jury is out on the Andersen for me. A lot of people really like it. But I was pulling my trailer through some significant cross winds on Sunday and it was rather unnerving. Maybe I don't know how it is supposed to feel pulling a trailer. But the winds were knocking me around quite a bit and...- danrhiggins

;-) Though the towing capacity for the LR4 is impressive (sadly tempered/complicated by the stupid hitch receiver design) there are times which I wish I had a stronger tow vehicle. But then I wouldn't have something that could go off road as easily. I am beginning to wonder, though, if when...- danrhiggins

The Lance trailers hit the sweet spot for us. They don't make larger trailers. I think there largest is in the 24' range although I also believe they make a toy hauler. They started out as a highly regarded truck camper maker. We also like that they have a number of models/floorplans in the...- danrhiggins

Though I don't use the OEM or the Rhino my Curt actually sits in between the height of those two. I do use a special ball mount (Andersen) that allows the ball to be at different levels. And, yes, I can see it - provided my camera is clean and the sun isn't shining on my nav screen. ;-) I...- danrhiggins

Been busy getting it set up and getting the hitch (Andersen) set up. We drove it straight from the dealership on Tuesday to a nearby state park for a shake down. We love the trailer. I've been pleased with the weight. It is easy for me to manage the tongue weight between 680 and 720 lbs...- danrhiggins

Turning off DSC?
When I press the DSC button on my 2014 LR4 shouldn't I get an indication that it is either On or Off? I don't see any indicator. (I have read that turning DSC off will disable Towing Stability Assist which may be having issues with my Andersen anti-sway hitch - which I just installed...- danrhiggins

I don't have the details, Chris, so it would probably be best to talk to Todd, the "inventor". A couple of users had apparently put enough force on theirs for a weld to separate. But I don't know exactly what they were doing or what the cause was.- danrhiggins

LR5 Release Updates?
I am hearing a similar sentiment from my dealer. And that the Defender will have a bit more luxury and comfort while being their model focused on people who take it off road. Of course, the price might be a bit higher than the LR4!- danrhiggins

LR5 Release Updates?
Pretty hard to tell, but did it lose some approach and departure angles? And for me, who is about to take delivery on a 5,500 lbs (loaded) trailer with a 700 lbs tongue weight I need to know that it didn't go backwards in towing capability. OTOH, if it retains the LR4 towing rating/capability...- danrhiggins

How does the Eckhart receiver work, what towing class (trailer/tongue weight - your isn't as heavy as mine) is it rated for and does it allow you to store your full size spare in its normal location? It looks like it is a "weld on".- danrhiggins

OK. Cancel that. Just heard about an issue with at least a couple of the Rhino hitches. (Ask Todd) Looks like I'll need to resort to the Curt hitch I used last year and put my spare back on the roof. Darn.- danrhiggins

One data point I found is that using the gross axle weights. These was on yet another thread on trailer weights and the LR4: The LR4 has 4090lb max rear axle load. With vehicle curb weight being 5659lb plus 4 passengers (we'll always have only 2) and some cargo (~550lb total - we actually run...- danrhiggins

Done and done. Rhino hitch received. I put BFG KO2s on in March. (I already had Compomotive wheels but last year I had P tires.) I'll likely run them up to 60 or 65 when towing but I do need to find out where the sweet spot is for those tires when towing with a hitch weight around 700 lbs.- danrhiggins

We have a 2016 Rockwood Roo 23IKSS hybrid and pulled it last year. It does have electronic brake. I use a Prodigy 3 that was installed by my Land Rover dealer. Works well. BTW, we are going to sell our hybrid as we decided to go with a hard side. If you're interested. ;-)- danrhiggins
