Hi All. I will be getting an L405 secondhand. It has deplorable side steps. Are there any issues with these and fitment of a tow bar?

Thanks

Deployable steps are great , Alistair swears by them .

I have deployable steps with towbar and no issues. 2008 Vogue Black - gone
2012 Vogue SE White - gone
2016 Autobiography Blue - gone
2019 Autobiography Grey - gone
2020 SVAutobiography Red

I think the autocorrect has it spot on - they're deplorable

I have them (albeit switched off) and a deployable tow bar - I can't see any reason why they could possibly be incompatible

Mine's great, steps that is.

I used to laugh at them - I wouldn't be without them now. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

I always laughed at electric disability ramps but my 5'0" wife struggles to get in the Rangie when she is wearing a tight skirt. My next one will have them.

Your next wife or next Range Rover?

you beat me to it Nigt

Thanks guys. Hopefully will deploy rather than deplore them....

😜

3 hours to respond with your love for side steps Alistair.....you're slipping up! maybe they're finally growing on you.

Chopdogs, towbars for 405’s need a support structure under the boot (as the shell is aluminium) this should be taken into account if you are to fit one yourself or look for a used item?

These are not usually offered for sale with tow bars offered for sale on eBay for example...

Just so your aware sir

Thanks re the warning.

I will be having it fitted professionally. Looking at a Westfalia or TowTrust detachable bar. Both have the full support structure supplied. I'll not be allowing it to be fitted if not......
