The 2009 model revision has Trailer Assist, but I'm trying to establish of it was a standard factory fit or if it was an optional extra?

i.e. when browsing classifieds do I need to keep an eye out for it or should I not worry because they all have it?

Has anyone got a 2009 Brochure pdf that has all the options/standard features?

Might help if you are bit more specific on the model you are talking about?

There are 2x systems you could be talking about:

  • Trailer Stability Assist - This is the system which helps prevent snaking, etc... (IIRC - Standard fit)
  • Tow Assist - This is the system which uses the rear camera to help manoeuvre, etc... (Optional fit)

Sory Range Rover Sport, and it's the Trailer Stability Assist. Didn't even know Tow Assist was a thing.

The model line up was revised in 2009/10 and all the press reviews call it Trailer Assist.

Been lookign at lot's of classified ad's for cars that are 2009/10 and some will be the old model and some the model. But they are so similar it's very hard to tell teh difference. What is the easy to see tell tale sign in the classified photos that it's the substantially revised model?

Different rear lights and colour coded wheel arches are on the MK4
