Towing with a lift 1,000 miles?
Long story short I am moving soon. A U-haul 4x8 trailer is $165 to rent, compared to those POD services which are $1000+
My disco is about as well maintained as could be. I have a 3" lift and 235/85R16 tires. Would you tow a 1,000-2,000 pound trailer 1,000 miles? Pros, cons?

as meticulous as you are, I wouldn't hesitate. I tow a trailer to auburn football games every year with mine with about the same load and don't hesitate with it. Some of my route is hilly and stop and go but I'm still sitting on a stock height. My round trip is about 300 miles and I make that usually 9 times a year and then there are a few added away games that are around 600 miles plus. That's just my two cents though

Hi, I've been towing a full load of 3500 kgs (7700lbs) at speeds of 70-80 mph for years with a D2 TD5, admittedly with no lift or mods and on highways but with air suspension and never experienced any issues. I don't know what the towing limit is in the US but the D2 is quite capable up to 3500 kgs or more.

Great, I figured it wouldn't be a problem but wanted to check due to all the steering and suspension modifications.
What's the best tow package (wiring harness and hitch)? AB sells one for ~$120? AB also sells this Land Rover Discovery Series II Trailer Hitch: Bolt-On, 2 Inch Receiver but I have no idea why you'd get it, the car already has that thing right?
