Is that 6000 lbs dry weight?

 

Lightly loaded for a short trip. Took it to a CAT scale. Tongue weight is from the AS spec. I haven't weighed that myself yet, but based on the change in the Defender weight (I weighed the Defender separately), it seems about right.

 

I would remove the sway control hitch as Land Rover said it is not recommended that you use it. And the defender has anti-sway built-in. This is my setup.









These are some pictures of how I evolved my roof rack set up. The last picture at the bottom is how it is currently.

 

Looks like you have an attached ladder. Is that the LR option?

 

Has anyone found a ball mount that is within the recommended length specification? The closest I've found online is ~8.25 inches

 

yes it is and works great.

 

What are people using for a trailer brake control? I used to have a Tekonsha inertia type brake control, is there something better?

 

I've been very happy with the RedArc Tow Pro Elite

 

This is what I have been using

 

@hectorcamacho@me.com - What's the length of your trailer? Or model? Looks great. Also trying to figure how much you're towing. Thanks!
