Towbar Height

There is a clear difference which is obvious, the 3.5 ton on road towing limit is often stated by the RTA and other State and Territory regulatory authorities across the board as the max limit for towing for most reasonably large 4x4's, as it is for Discovery's.

Again where does the RTA or the police say its illegal to tow over 1000 kg off road with a Disco?

Don't know, as I said, only seen both in the owners manual, I have been ignoring it since we've had our camper anyway:cool:

In England they have a 4000kg limit?? if you have the Land Rover heavy duty tow pack, which I believe is what we get here?? just hasn't been converted to the Aust wiring pattern(large black and white plugs) instead LRA just add a 7 pin plug for our market.

But that's for another day.

One thing I do know for sure, LR Assist and VW Assist, take there definition of offroad from the local towing agent they use, with both saying that if it's in a National Park, that's what they deem as offroad(that was quoted to us by both)

I guess we all have different definitions.

The manual also says "to avoid overheating the gearbox, it is not advisable to tow heavy trailer loads at speeds of less than 32km/h in High range. Select Low range instead."
