While my Defender is being built, I've been searching for info as to the floor height while parked but haven't been able to find. Basically, looking to see how high my 100 pound Labrador needs to jump in order to get into either the rear cargo, or rear passenger area. Can someone save me a trip to the dealership with a tape measure? Thanks!

 

Air or coil suspension?

I can check our 110 air suspension later when we go out to clean it thoroughly after this past week's road trip.

What do you want, lowest number for the cargo area (when air suspension is in the lowered/park position)?

 

Hey Kev - thanks for helping.
Same as "hers" - a 110 with air suspension.
From what I understand, the vehicle drops to it's lowest position when parked?

 

Copy that.

Yes and no. It drops to the lowest position if you want it to, or if you remember to tell it too. Every now and again I get out of it forgetting I had it in off-road height and drop further to the ground than expected saying to myself "wooops".

 

Good to know. The test drive I took a few months ago, was in what they described as "normal" mode as they were showing off how it would raise up from the lower parked height to normal ride height when you started to drive. It is nice that the operator has some control and can set it in off-road height and leave it there if you choose to.

 

Looks to be about 32" (and incidentally seems to blow off real clean using a compressor and air chock after a week of beach sand).

 

Awesome. That will work. Thanks Kev!

I'm at about 42" now with the 2500 Ram (which I use to haul the rock-crawler JKU) and he has to be very motivated to make it without help, and I'm tired of lifting a 100 pound lab! lol
