Also post a picture of the wiring diagram from this unit

And yes you are blazing the trail on the 7 pole...i have only seen 1 other thread on wiring a brake controller ...7 pole is usually associated with larger trailers that have electric brakes the in-between trailers typically come with surge brakes which take all this wiring out of the picture...Rover never thought anyone would tow anything so they didnt even provide the 4 pin...jerks!

OK.

Got it all figured out.
I hooked the trailer yesterday and drove around at both highway and city speeds with fantastic results.

I posted this the other day, it is the culmination of my research and now functional proof that it works - hope this helps.

The Rover dealer knows nothing other than what the manual says and these vehicles are not exactly the usual ford f150/350 or suburbans the local trailer dealers are used to - so they know little of what to expect......

Any help is appreciated.
Depends on what your tow capacity is and what the weight of what your towing is. I towed a 22’ airstream w a 2014 sport with no problem. It’s not as difficult as it might seem.

Default Towing 7100lbs.

I tow a 27 foot trailer that is 7100 lbs when loaded. No problems but I have a red arc brake controller installed I did myself. It was plug and play.

Obviously photoshopped forward in time to today from the early 2000's.

I'm sure its just what a Disco 2 would look like given the long, thoughtful process of development that LR is known for.
