Question:

We are clueless... We are towing a trailer 1500 miles and need the electrical components necessary for brake lights and directionals. Could you tell me what else I need besides the tow bar to make a complete install. Thank you

For your 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport the trailer wiring harness you'd want is the part # C56297. This will provide your trailer with all of the light functions it needs. The Curt hitch part # C13396 that you referenced is a confirmed fit and will work well.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

You'd be set with just the parts mentioned.
