What nose weight to what powertrain
Hi all
Sorry, I cant post in General for some reason...
I am just reading ready to finalise my build and ive found this online.
The electrically deployable tow bar is operated via a switch in the rear loadspace or by the infotainment system in the cabin. It is sensitive to obstruction encountered during deploying/stowing and will stow automatically if necessary. The electrically deployable tow bar is stowed discreetly behind the rear bumper when not in use providing a clean attractive finish. The towing electrics are also hidden until deployed. Approved for up to 3,500kg* maximum towing capacity and 350kg* nose weight. Includes a unique trailer light test facility which allows the driver to check without assistance if the trailer lights, including reverse and brake lights, are functioning correctly. The trailer light test is activated via either a switch in the loadspace or via the touchscreen, depending on the vehicle’s specification. Kit includes tow bar, towing module, module bracket, module fixing nuts, module fixing bolts, harness, switch pack, recovery panel and tow eye cover. 21MY onwards. Not applicable for Commercial. The tow eye cover replaces the rear valance when towing is ordered. This tow eye cover is supplied primed for a Land Rover Retailer to paint body colour. *Towing capability varies by powertrain. Towing nose weight dependent upon powertrain and wheels fitted. Not suitable for caravans, trailers or lighting boards fitted with rear mounted LED lamp kits.
Does anyone know what powertrain gets you what nose weight?
Thanks

Hmmm all I can find is 150kg but that seems a massive drop from the original d5 which I think was 350kg.
Not that I need 350kg but you know.

The small print adds:
Quote:
‡When fitted with Electrically Deployable Tow Bar. 195kg with Detachable Tow Bar.
The small print also says that the D300 (not D250) :
Quote:
Maximum towing capacity is limited to 2.500kg when the 20" Style 5011, 5 split-spoke, Gloss Sparkle Silver wheel is fitted.
Which I really don't understand 
Particularly since I have the 5011 20" wheels in grey so apparently grey paint is stronger than silver paint

Thanks both, very helpful
Also intrigued by the alloy wheel altering weight. Nose weight I would get but that’s odd
