Land Rover pulls out all the stops with towing tech
Land Rover has helped remove some of the stress of reversing a trailer with its optional Advanced Tow Assist feature, now available on all Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles. Advanced Tow Assist allows drivers to reverse a trailer using the rotary controller on the centre console to guide the vehicle. The Terrain Response knob assumes the role of the steering wheel, and while operating the pedals as normal, the intuitive system shows the predicted path of the trailer with coloured guidelines on the infotainment screen. This enables drivers to steer with ease as the vehicle calculates the precise level of counter-steering required to maintain the desired trajectory.
