How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a Class 3 card with a two inch receiver shows up so often on SUVs and Wranglers, even when the door sticker keeps trailer weight modest.

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Land Rover Defender in Canada? We checked the catalogue first. We do not list a CURT Defender hitch on this store today, so this guide covers Discovery Sport instead — the Land Rover SUV with a live Class 3 card and stock. CURT 13396 is written for listed 2015 through 2019 Discovery Sport years, with a two inch receiver, except five plus two seating packages called out on the card. The year landers below are real pages we already publish.
Built for Canadian Discovery Sport owners. Free shipping on CURT towing gear from Lots of Parts when the SKU is live on this store.

All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the cards below.

CURT Install Techniques
General install habits. Finish with the instruction sheet for your exact year card — generations are not interchangeable.

Useful before you order a custom four-flat, or while you wait on a harness we do not stock for your year yet.
Watch on YouTube →Ball Mount and Trailer Ball
Match ball diameter to the coupler, match the shank to the ball mount hole, then set drop so the trailer sits level.
Watch on YouTube →What we stock for Discovery Sport
CURT 13396 is the Class 3 hitch we list for Land Rover Discovery Sport years that CURT writes as 2015 through 2019. It uses a two inch receiver and it is active and in stock on Lots of Parts today. Free shipping applies on CURT gear from this store when the SKU is live.
Read the seating note on the product card carefully. CURT excludes five plus two seating packages on this application. If your Discovery Sport is that layout, do not force 13396 — ask support instead of guessing.
We do not list a Land Rover Defender hitch on this shelf. We also do not list a Discovery Sport-specific custom four-flat harness today. Newer Discovery Sport years after 2019 need an honest pause — we are not inventing a later product link. If you drive a Range Rover Sport or LR4, those are different CURT cards and different guides when we publish them.

Honest gaps and shopper notes
Defender swap
No Defender CURT card
We checked the catalogue on this store. Without a live Defender hitch SKU, Discovery Sport is the Land Rover path with stock.
Seating
Five plus two excluded
CURT writes the exclusion on 13396. If your row layout matches that package, stop and ask support.
Wiring
Harness not listed
Trailer lights still matter. Without a Discovery Sport custom four-flat on the shelf, ask support rather than splicing blind.
Ratings
Vehicle limit wins
Even with a Class 3 tube, Land Rover’s published tow and tongue limits for your trim still win over hitch-side numbers.
Step 1Confirm the model
Defender versus Discovery Sport versus Range Rover Sport — different cards when we list them.
Step 2Open your year
Use the 2015 through 2019 landers when they match your door sticker.
Step 3Read the seating note
Five plus two packages are excluded on 13396. Do not force a mismatch.
Step 4Set the ball mount
Match a two inch shank and set drop so the trailer sits level on Canadian roads.
