Thought this was a very fair and unbiased review from someone with good experience in his field. In the answer’s section he even mentioned that the towing irregularities could have been down to hitch being too high.

Looks OK level wise, if it is just one horse in that is circa 1.5T, except there is a horse behind the vehicle so if it is the trailer it is 0.9T not nose up.

Across the pond, do you guys use anti-sway hitches? a lot people say they if you load a trailer properly, you don't need one but other people swear by them.

Never used one in 55 years of towing, boats, caravans, trailers, horseboxes.

It looks new.

Doesn't answer your question but the Grenadier is supposed to have Trailer Stability Assist. I wonder if that and an anti sway hitch could work against each other?

Would def work against each other. I thought trailer assist was a 24 addition. I guess I was wrong.

Well spotted, that trailer is no where near level, too low at the back. Just right for road humps etc.
Got a Brink detachable tow bar on back order from INEOS, you were one lucky devil to get yours so quickly!

Defender was obviously the 2nd choice vehicle.

So, in ten days we will be towing our caravan and knowing the glacial pace Ineos are likely to deliver the Brink detachable tow bar, I decided to fit the drop plate. (Ring RTC 744 max 4" drop)
Photos below are the result. The blue line (not quite straight ) Is the level from the top of the tow ball. The bottom of the spirit level is where the top of the tow ball was before remounting.
In real terms this has lowered the height of the tow ball by 2.5" or 62mm, depending on which end of my "crap" blue line I measure!
Top of the tow ball now stands at 18', so perfect for the caravan.
The tow ball its self fits flush with the bottom of the drop plate, so only 2.5" ground clearance lost.
Will still use the detachable one when it arrives.

I wonder if Stu or Jeremy can merge the Grenadiers Towing and the Towing Again threads? would seem logical

Well

Nooooo

I thought the techie stuff was over on the Towing Again thread and this was just a photo thread (with odd comment, and maybe tangential one thrown in)

More from FB ~ owner Stephen Jefferson says it will be trailering 60% to 70% of the time & mostly at full capacity with oak beams:
