LC 200 and Towing

The KDSS system only improves suspension articulation & will not assist in leveling the vehicle so you will need to use a weight distributing hitch when towing

The 200 series diesel should be a ideal tow vehicle & would handle a 23 foot jayco with ease

The towbar receiver is part of the rear chassis crossmember so you do not need to order a towbar from toyota (it is only a tongue that is supplied in the towbar kit) but you should have the genuine towbar wiring fitted as it has a ecu that is fitted behind the rh rear 1/4 panel trim
The wire to supply the power to the trailer brake pin of the trailer plug is also behind the 1/4 panel trim so have them fit the controller at the same time as it will make it easier

When you order your weight distributing hitch kit make sure you work out the height difference between the receiver & the coupling so you can get the correct offset tongue as the receiver sits quite high compared to other vehicles with a seperate tow bar

Don, self levelling in the Sahara, and even with it in mine, the previous owner installed Polyairs for a camper trailer - well so I have been told. I have them still in there.

I have in my 100 series air springs (replaces the standard springs; NOT Polyairs) in the back with own-designed air valve controller (manual leveling). Pump is an Endless Air compressor at 8 cfm. Major advantage is I can vary ride height to suit conditions and add a trailer without sagging at the bum - just add air. Ride at low weights can be a bit choppy (care of the h/d shockies) but with a full load and heavy off-road trailer the ride is almost Range Rover in comfort... (had a heavily modified Rangie for 15 years...)

A huge, huge improvement on the original suspension...
