What do you guys use for towing mirrors even though I tow a pop up its kinda hard to see around without towing mirrors anything that integrates nicely or doesn't damage the mirror would be great

 

Milenco Grand Aeros with specific rubber pads for the Land Rover. Will not block the 360 cameras if you have that and the mirror can still fold in.

Off topic, but great looking discovery! What kind of wheels tires do you have? Also where did you get the front brush guard and the ones for the side?

 

Thank you! Those are Toyo AT3 275/55 20s on RRS wheels with 30mm TF spacers. As for the brush guard and rock sliders they are from Lucky 8. Off road accessories for the D5 are a bit hard to come by and they have a good selection.

 

Hi there,

I'm thinking of buying a 21 or 22 Discovery and a trailer.

The size of trailer you have looks similar to one I want.

The manual says the coupling point (tongue weight??) maximum is 150kg. What's the weight GWVR of your trailer and the tongue weight you're towing?

Thanks for the help.

 

That seems a bit low. Is that with the electronic deployable tow ball that you all have on the other side of the pond? Here in the US the Si6 can tow a total of 8200lbs (37194kg) with a max tongue weight of 820LBS (371kg). My current trailer setup comes in at 4500lbs (2041kg) with a tongue weight of 395lbs (179kg). The D5 setup with a good brake controller (I use the Aussie RedArc brand) is a fantastic tow vehicle and even better (dare I say) than my Discovery 4 with the 5.0 liter that sits beside it in the driveway. Fully loaded with the family (family of 6) and the RV we comfortably head down the highway with no issues. I am looking to upgrade my RV here soon the the Sonic X line which is fully contained for off the grid camping and I do not expect issue with that one either even with about 1000lbs more in weight.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm in Canada. I didn't know that UK models had a hitch ball system like that.

I'll double check with the dealer about the tongue weight.
Your trailer set up is similar to the one I want. The trailer will be 5 thousand pounds. From what you share, it sounds like the Disco V is a good choice.

Thanks for the insight.

 

Im in canada too it isnt that low for the diesel its 770 lbs on the tongue you should be fine
