TOWING ISSUE

Towing a trailer, caravan or horse box has now become safer and simpler thanks to the latest towing innovations from Land Rover. „Trailair by Land Rover“, which can be fitted to existing as well as new vehicles, is a unique system that monitors tyre pressures and aids hitching.

The technology works through tyre pressure monitoring valves which can be fitted to both the vehicle and trailer tyres. The valve pressures and temperature readings are displayed through a screen which is incorporated into a newly-fitted rear view mirror. The smart technology then triggers an alarm should the valves detect any decrease in pressure or increase in temperature. The system also offers the driver an easier way of hitching by mounting a rear camera to the vehicle. This enables the driver to manoeuvre the vehicle more accurately by offering a view of the hitching equipment and trailer tow ball.
