Just measured my X4ST (tracks) on a 24 RR. It's a little tough to get a precise height, but from the bed rail top, it seems mine just barely hits 8" even when fully rolled, though it's so close, YMMV. I'd imagine at worst, you could push down on it a little, or finagle the way it rolls, to get...
I don't think it would be an issue safety wise. Comfort and quality of life, maybe?
People (particularly Americans) tend to over buy for towing, as they want their rig to feel like it's not towing...If you're OK with going slower and being more deliberate, you'll be just fine.
That said, if...
You may have a glitch? My very late 2024 only honks if I double press the lock button on the fob. Single press, and the lights blink. Double press and she honks. Pretty sure it has never honked on unlock.
Might be worth dropping by the dealer?
Couple of ideas...
Since it's something you only need occasionally, perhaps just get a USB charger that plugs into the 110V outlet.
Something like this?
Low profile 110V Charger
Relatively low profile, 4 ports. I just did a cursory search, so no idea if this is good quality or not, but you...
Kane Springs Road to Hurrah Pass to Lockhart Basin Road to Chicken Corners.

Pretty easy road, though you can avoid/tackle some pretty tough stuff as you see fit. There's a few spots where you'll have to crawl a bit after Hurrah Pass. I didn't go all...
Do remember this is all in the context of a utility vehicle. It's not a car. "Sports", "Luxury", or anything else. Compare it to any other truck or SUV though...
The Good...
1) The suspension is basically witchcraft... Until you've had a chance to drive it at high speed on a rough road, you're...
Anyone know what this is? Just noticed it today. To be fair, I've only had the truck for a year though...:blush:
Not hide nor hair in the manual, though the search function is abysmal, so maybe I just didn't find it.

You can't flip the spare, as the little widget with the spring that goes through the hub will stick WAY down. I know this because Les Schwab installed my spare backwards.
I just got a valve extension, so now the valve stem sticks down through the "spokes" and is accessible without dismounting...
It took about 473 iterations to get the fit right, and my organization skills are terrible, but I've updated the above post with what I think are the correct files? Hopefully close enough, without too much prototyping involved...
If you print them "top down", the only supports needed are for...
Here's my 3D printed solution. PETG filament, as PLA might deform at really hot summer day interior cabin temps.
I used picture hanging strips to mount them. Pretty tedious cutting out the slim pieces to mostly follow the curve at the base of the covers, but it holds them in place very...
All depends on your driving habits, but I can't imagine I'd go for any sway bar disconnect system that wasn't nearly "instantaneous" and controllable from the cabin in my RR.
It would be sweet to have some extra articulation on a section of really rough terrain, but 200 yards later, I'd want...
FWIW...
Loaded right to the brim at 5500 lbs, and it handled it with ease.
In your scenario, with a 1350 lb payload and 10% tongue weight of ~500 lbs, you're left with ~850 lbs for people and stuff in the truck.
For what you're describing, I personally wouldn't hesitate for a second to haul...

Google suggests there's a 250A alternator in the RR. All well and good, but I just can't seem to find the "nominal" needs for the truck...
I'd like to know how much headroom I have for auxiliary electrical needs plus recharging the battery when I'm already "maxed out" with normal truck stuff...
Tow/Haul is accessed via the drive mode wheel (twist the outer ring counter clockwise a couple of modes from "Normal").
