Hi guys
Need some help understanding why the Pajero rear hubs/wheels ran very hot while towing.
Towed the boat home this weekend and at our rest stop noticed the rear wheels were too hot to touch and had to wait for them to cool before I felt safe to continue. Rest of the drive was slow with frequent stops to let them cool. Made it home and since the boat is off the Pajero is back to 100% and hubs/wheels running cold again. No noises no issues since.
Boat is less than 2 ton, neither trailer brakes or vehicles hand brake were on and fuel read out showed 12.9l average so would not expect dragging brakes. We were traveling at 11pm and outside temp was 18C. We had 3 teenagers in the rear seat, with a fridge, clothes and bedding on board + some groceries.
Anyone had this experience? Had this vehicle for 3 months and have towed this boat a few times but never noticed the rear get so hot. Need to understand/ fix it before we head out again in 2 weeks.
Thanks
Mark
