Prepare to spend $4000 on the right hitch and towing computer. Been there done that. Defender owner x5. None of these should ever be ordered without a hitch.
Nuckle is correct, it requires multiple components and it’s expensive with the last quote I got from the dealership closer to $5K. I was willing to do it but they told me one of the components was on back order so I canceled it instead. I took it as a sign I shouldn’t spend it.

I see I can order everything myself. I will more than likely go that route. I also have a GAP tool otw and hopefully can activate tow computer with it.

I know labor for the install can be pricey, but $4k? Lucky8 sells "towing receiver + complete wiring combo" for $1548, and it's all genuine LR parts. What am I missing here? Honest question because I've thrown around the thought of installing one.
