Curt Trailer hitch review
October 25 2011Filed under: freelander land-rover lr2
I recently installed a Curt trailer hitch on my 2008 LR2. The hitch is currently selling for $111 on Amazon.
Installation was dead simple; no cutting or drilling required. There are five bolts that you must remove from the underside of the vehicle. Then simply lift the hitch so that it straddles the muffler and re-install the bolts. Total installation time was about 30 minutes. The hitch feels very secure. I've towed a 1,500lb trailer about 500 miles without incident.
The dealer quoted a cost of about $1,000 (including the electrics). I have not yet installed the tow electrics. I'll update this post when I do.
