We have trailer hitch and wiring options for your 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. You will start with the hitch receiver. My hitch receiver recommendation is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # 75229. This hitch receiver has a maximum tongue weight of 800 lbs and a maximum gross towing weight of 8,000 lbs. Please keep in mind that you should check your vehicle's owner's manual to see what the maximum gross towing weight and maximum tongue weight are and adhere to the lowest totals between the two.
The next thing we need to do to get your vehicle ready to tow is add a 7-way connection. This way your trailer, 5th wheel, or camper when hooked up to your vehicle will mirror the lighting of the tow vehicle and have power for a brake controller. I really like the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit, part # 119250KIT, because there is no splicing of wires involved. You clamp sensors onto your vehicle's factory taillight harness and the sensors detect the current.
Once you get that in place you can install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness from earlier to get the 7-way connection. The first thing you need is the T-One -way or 5-way connector to a 7-way connector. With the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector, part # 118275, you can plug this harness into your vehicle's wiring harness to create a 7-way connector at the rear of your vehicle. You should add a mounting bracket such as the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way, part # 18138, to keep the 7-way connector secure to your vehicle.
I have included product description links, a video demo link for the Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver, and one for the T-One Wiring Harness, lastly I have included a couple of installation video links below .
