    D5 Towing & Driving Instability

    Hi Wolfpack,

    I agree with your comments completely but I'd rather have a car that steers accurately in the direction that the driver is anticipating it going in, especially on the m/way at 70+ mph and maybe lose some ride quality in the process. I don't find the ride at those pressures unduly hard but I guess we all perceive these inputs differently, Not that I'm condoning the reality of this situation as there is no doubt in my mind there is a fundamental issue with the vehicle in this context.

    Also, bearing in mind the number of owners contributing to this thread who are having issues when towing clearly validates this as a LR problem!

    Have a nice evening.

    2019 Discovery SDV6 HSE Fuji White

    Hi all just been reading some of the pages on this thread. I have a D5 since 19.07 so haven’t got around to putting the T/A on the back yet. I had it on the D4 before the crankshaft snapped and it towed perfectly no bounce or wobble at all. Not sure if I have the tow assist or anything on the thing. My question is has any one come to a conclusion as to possible cause. The D4 I towed with tyre pressures at normal and high with not much difference. Any thoughts or anything greatly received.

    I am still trying to figure this thing out. As a side thought can I find out somehow what is fitted to it

    Many thanks

    reading this lengthy and very interesting thread I get the impression the placing of bikes on the A frame (or the tail of the tin tent) is the potential cause of a wobble
