You have to bend a little bit here. You are not going to find what you want, especially considering that you will not give one inch either way. Something has to give and at this point it is your LR. Put a real hitch on it and you will open up a whole new world of trailers that fit your needs!
The ONLY compromise you keep offering is to change my Tow vehicle. I will make many other compromises, but that one isn't one of them.
I'm staggered by the people who think that my "needs" are not being met by a vehicle that meets every need I have ever asked it to do except pull a travel trailer with a ridiculous tongue weight....
Yet, I have been told by 10 people that my needs are no longer met by it. Staggeringly arrogant.
If I can't find a TT that will work, my rant stands that manufacturers are ignoring a large potential market of mid size SUV's, and I won't buy one. Easy as that.
And my comment before about not understanding tongue weights obviously needs expanded for those with a more limited mental capacity. People have posted all sorts of TT in this thread, and the tongue weights are all over the place. A toy hauler that has the bathroom and the kitchen (arguably the heaviest parts of a TT) in the front of a trailer has a lighter tongue weight than a trailer with both of those items at the axles or further back. That is crazy, and is purely a design issue that manufacturers are not worried about, because people are just told to buy a "real tow vehicle" to use it.
