jules Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 What is the max drawbar weight of a RRC with air suspension? I get mixed up 1) if your talking about tow bar there is a legal limit which you I think corrected me on some time ago 75kg or something but I have loaded 6t into a Ifor 3.5t and towed it with a LSE 4 miles (in low) took a few more seconds than normal to level out but it did(the trailer and RRC tyres looked a little dodgy). 2) If your talking about a bar towing a second car then, we always used to use a scaffold tube and hitches each end of the tube then have a tow ball on the front of the rear car. ten or so years ago that was quite common but not so much now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Not enough to let Pugwash use yer bumper dumper very good, just cos you've sold some doors youv'e gone and got all excited!

honitonhobbit Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 The draw bar weight is the maximum weight you can put on the towball - ie downward force type thing. Max allowable mass for towing is 3.5tonnes unless what you are carrying in the vehicle exceeds the gross train weight (wich I don't think is legally possible for a RRC). Air suspended RRC's have a higher max drawbar weight and I don't know what it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably dig out the link if you want. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride and handling systems like Dynamic Stability Control also take the trailer´s weight into account should they need to correct any deviation from your chosen driving line.

Be careful on the L322 Range Rover Nose weight... 150kg is the nose weight for UK spec cars Look at the bottom paragraph of this page 250kg is correct for South African spec vehicles for example Look at the bottom paragraph of this page Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 in my RAVE info it says for RR2 vehicles nose weight for on & off road towing is 150kg or 330lbs. as the RR2 uses a very similar air suspension system, these weights may apply to the RRC, I can't find any info for the RRC in RAVE though, but in my Tom Shepard book 'the LR experience' the towing section says trailer nose weight -- 7% of the trailer gross weight is a good starting point, do not exceed the limits of the ball hitch or coupling head usually around 100 to 150kg & remove twice the nose weight from the vehicles payload when working out how much weight you can carry inside or on the tow vehicle. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
