Hello I've recently bought a 07 freelander2 complete with a witter R40 towbar. When hitch up its very nose down to the point its a struuggle to spin the jockey wheel round,and theres little clearance for the jockey when driving. I towed this same caravan with a galaxy and everything was fine. The fl2 has a much higher noseweight allowance.The height of the centre of towball is 39cm when car empty.

I have a Witter removable fitted and measured with car empty from floor to centre of the ball it is 44cm, so something is a little amiss on yours and when I last measured it in the summer it was approx 39cm loaded with 85 kg noseweight. |

Having parked besides 2 fl2s this weekend I've come to the conclusion my car seems too low when compared (no load)
