Hello, I recently purchased a 2012 Range Rover HSE LUX 5.0L V8 petrol - my first Land Rover- and I am having a bit of buyer's remorse. My first issue was that this does not have a tow hitch. I figured it couldn't be hard to get one installed anywhere... but apparently, they do not exist for this model? Searched through all the hitch manufacturers websites and found no match. Then I figured I would do a simple LED upgrade to all the lights... and I can't figure out how to get to the puddle light. Everything on the internet seems to show a simple square lens you pop off the bottom of the mirror- mine has a completely sealed round light- I am terrified of ruining the mirror by disassembling the whole thing, but maybe that is the way? Then I noted I don't have the pull-out cargo cover in the back... and these only appear to be available for the Sport models? Is the same one used in the standard Range Rover?? I can't find a measurement anywhere to check.

If you have any salvation for me, it would be much appreciated. I am in the US, if that matters.

Hi and welcome
All land rovers are capable of receiving a tow hitch. Though don't know the law in USA

Welcome to LZ!

Being in the US is nothing to be ashamed of, there are other Americans on LZ.

I think some Range Rovers have a tow hitch that is contained within the rear bumper (fender), but I don't really know.

If you click on this link, and post in there, they will know.
