Those of you with Rovers, a question... - LotusTalk

Does my 2007 Range Rover's air suspension also level the car if a heavy load is placed in it?

Aedo · 09-13-2009, 06:36 PM

Pretty sure it does - I've never noticed mine out of level (but as its wifeys car I don't spend that much time thinking about it!)

DrJ · 09-13-2009, 07:22 PM

I did some googling, and I think it does...

Flash G · 09-13-2009, 07:37 PM

Yes they do.

My Rover is constantly adjusting for load.

Ok, so last night I RTFM... :P It does indeed.

Now THAT'S the proper use of a Rover.

I probably will not be doing that with mine...

Yes. Even the old ones do that. I have a 1998 P38 which adjusts automatically when I attach or detach a trailer tongue to it.

They really are amazing vehicles...

(Just don't try this without a snorkel.)

the current range rovers finally have an air suspension that works!! levels out with cargo or when towing. never had any issues with mine. unlike the 1993 LWB I had many years ago, the first year with air suspension. one trip back from Mammoth to LA, the computer flipped out and shut down the air bags all the way to the bump stops. I had to drive about 100 miles back with zero suspension. not pleasant!

That happened to me in my old Range Rover. It dropped to the bump stops and looked like I was driving a low rider... bouncing over every bump. Not fun.

Side comment....one time I was parked on a sideways incline where the passenger side was much higher than the driver side. I lowered the suspension to let my kid out, and the driver side air susp. Went bad...guess you're not supposed to do that.
