Baically the same principle from what I gleaned in the development of my Llams for Jeeps module, apart from using a normally closed air system (they can top-up with air) requiring pumping when raising or lowering. They don't have extended or super-extended mode nor do they have safe mode, but the suspension height adjusts on a sufficiently regular basis that it recognises Llams adjustments in about the same time that LRs do. The latest ones even adjust a short while after the ignition is switched off to make the vehicle look level when parked!

What ??? I had to read this a few times to absorb it. [emoji15] Once I recovered, I thought that's smart .... Lots more potential customers. But still ...... Jeep. [emoji3]

Dodge Rams too! Not my idea - I was approached. But I did consider the possible market when investing.

How about Llams for old Citroens?

:D That would be a totally untapped market.

Hey simmo1. The symptoms you describe sound to me like trailer assist is not active on your vehicle. Is your van fitted with LED's and if so, do you have an LED module or resistors fitted so that your vehicle 'knows' the van is attached?

Except Trailer assist doesn't need to detect a trailer to be active.

This has been covered many times.

Increase your tyre pressures, make sure your caravan suspension is in good order. Consider moving the axles on the caravan back. It may be possible if the suspension is on a subframe bolted to the caravan chassis.

Hi all. New to this as this is my first post. Have recently taken delivery of our new D4 SDV6 after many years driving Land Cruisers. Couldn't be happier with the switch! The D4 will soon be used to tow a new tandem 19' off road van. Total weight will be around 3t and I've been assured the ball weight will be around 300kg. I have had plenty of experience towing a 22' boat but the van will have a much greater side area for cross winds etc to play with. My question relates to the need for ESC on the van. Anyone had experience with these systems (ALKO in particular) when towing with LR's trailer stability assist? Thanks.

Jock, Tombie will be along to expand on this....you don't need esc on the trailer as the D4 is equipped with Trailer Assist.

Lessor cars need it...but not the D4.

The only possible benefit you will get from ECS on the van is a possibly better resale value down the track.

The Trailer Stability system works on the D4 and it is all you will need.
