Just put a few buck down on one but I didn't see the 200 max ball weight. Won't get too excited untill the Aust specs arrive. The UK books state the same brake sizes as the D4 so hopefully the GOE wheels will fit.
Several of us L322 owners are a bit keen on replacing them with the new Disco. (In my case, as a long-term long-distance tow tug as the bride and I figure out more ways to goof off in our camper trailer in the next few years.)
But I just went through the exercise of doing a 'dream build' on the LR website. 20 inch wheels - the smallest size available. Not good.
But worse, the build print-out shows max tow-ball weight of 200kg.
Really?? Our camper trailer is more than that loaded up. And the out-going Disco specs 350kg tow ball weight.
Surely that 200kg spec must be a mistake....

I might be unduly worried. Just been informed that Australian cars will get the 350kg Hayman Reese hitch.
D4 is the same in all markets except Australia..

						Same as Chrisnussey, I hope the 18" compomotive wheels fit the new D5, as plan to swap over to D5 in say 4 years time and take my 18" rims with me

						Wish they had had that option with the D4
Several articles have mentioned various specs/versions of the D5 family with one version optimised more for off-road work. Forgive my memory, but I think it mentioned the 18" wheels came with the ingenium engine and had a smaller brake package.
