We're looking to buy a travel trailer to tow on the LR4. One we're interested in has hitch weight of 556lbs... Is there any way that would be ok? Any wiggle room on that hitch weight limit..

Has anyone successfully towed with a higher hitch weight? (long term successful, not just a one-time thing)
Thank you!

I'm towing a 2020 Grand Design Imagine XLS 23BHE with my 2015 LR4. I have a weigh safe hitch I used to weigh the tongue and my real world is between 600-650lbs. I do have a Lion Energy lithium battery which helps. My hitch receiver has 770lbs stamped on it so that's what I'm going with.

I will tell you that with some gear in the cargo area and my two boys (3 & 6) in the rear seats and my wife in the passenger seat we were definitely over on our rear axle weight at about 4,500lbs and the limit being just around 4,090lbs. I'm going to explore some weight distribution options.

Hope this helps.
