I plan to use my 2000 Disco 2 for a tow vehicle for a small travel trailer, GVW about 3300 lbs. It has electric brakes and the factory hitch. It also has 278K on the odometer, but I've done the following:
New AB long block installed 6K ago by my local Indy LR shop.
All new hoses, belts, sensors. water pump, oil pump, plugs, wires, coil paks
New (rebuilt) ACE distribution block with new hydraulic lines and fittings
New radiator, new trans cooler, all trans cooler lines
Extinct thermostat mod
Transmission serviced regularly, no slippage or problems
Rebuilt Roverland rear diff
New Tires (Nitto Terra Grapplers)
What else should I check out/look for?
All thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. I hope to be towing by this month in 2022, when my wife retires and we can get out and about.
Lots of towing discussions previously on here but that is well within the disco capability. Short wheelbase means it gets a little squirrely with big loads over 65 mph, but keep the tongue weighted and the speed down and it will be fine.
