    LR4 towing 24ft center console boat

    Yes mine has brakes on one axle because of the weight. I believe the LR4 manual recommends brakes over 1,000lbs. My first boat was an 18' and didn't have brakes. With a 21', I'd want brakes on the trailer.

    Impressed with Towing (6600lbs)

    Maybe the hitch itself is rated for 770lb but the truck is rated for 550lb?

    Impressed with Towing (6600lbs)

    Trailer Boat Magazine finds that boat trailers are typically in the 5-7% range. Boats are almost always stern heavy. So I would have to agree with TBM. A true way to get the weight is with a scale and fulcrum method. If you exceed the percentages, you can adjust the trailer winch forward or back...

    Impressed with Towing (6600lbs)

    I don't know the exact tongue weight but I'm sure its under 550lbs. Most of the weight (engine, drive and fuel tank) is at the stern of the boat and over the tandem axle. I can see that camping trailers would have a increased tongue weight because the amenities can be spaced throughout the...

    Impressed with Towing (6600lbs)

    This past weekend my wife and I pulled the boat for the season. We purchased our LR4 this past summer so this was the true test. I have pulled my boat and trailer with my brother in-laws Disco II. The shorter wheelbase made it for a rough ride and lots of transmission 'hunting'. My boat and...

    For all DC, MD & VA members, check out this new shop that opened recently. A neighbor of mine had some work done and was very happy. A great alternative to the dealer. http://independentbritish.com/ Rob

    Suspension Changes in Sport mode

    I read in the manual that the truck lowers if you hit 100mph for more than few seconds.

    Creaking and cracking - normal?

    I agree the build quality and materials used is top notch - especially compared to the older Disco's. I did notice the plastic inside of the center console box was cheap and thin, but it is just the inside of a box.

    Climate Control Air Recirculation

    We have a 2010 LR4 that does not have the auto recirculation with pollution sensor. Instead it's that standard recirc. on/off button. I have noticed that if I am using the climate control on auto and the recirculation ON; after a period of time the recirc. will turn OFF. Is there another type of...

    HID installed

    OK thanks! I'm going for the 35w. I guess the manual on LR site is for another market or a typo?

    HID installed

    I just checked the manual (2010 LR4) and it indicated the xenon are 55w. Also the halogen headlamps are H7 55w. I would like to order the kit. Do I get H7s or H11s as others have stated?

    Creaking and cracking - normal?

    The only thing that creaks (not all the time) in our 2010 LR4 is center console storage box. The interior of it is pretty cheap plastic.

    Key fob to adjust height?

    Yep, it's lawyer speak. The manual suggests you can do this so you can adjust the height to hook up a trailer. The hazard symbol on the fob is what I believe is a panic button.

    Key fob to adjust height?

    Yes. Go to page 162 of the owners manual and it describes the operation. The truck must be stopped. Doors closed. Hazards on. Hold lock and unlock to raise. Hold lock and trunk to lower.
