Land Rover Defender Towing Capacity

Your maximum towing capacity depends on which Land Rover Defender model you choose. However, since every model offers capabilities that rivals like, it’s safe to say that any Land Rover Defender can turn your towing dreams into reality.

Even so, it’s important to consider all of the details. How much can your chosen Land Rover Defender tow? Find out below:

Land Rover Defender 90 Towing Capacity

  • The Defender 90 First Edition is capable of reaching an 8,201-pound upper limit with its standard P400 i6 engine.
  • When other two-door Defender 90 models start arriving in the U.S., they’ll be able to tow up to 7,716 pounds. That’s true even if you opt for the optional P400 i6.

Land Rover Defender 110 Towing Capacity

  • When equipped with the P400 i6 engine, all Defender 110 trim levels tow up to 8,201 pounds.
  • The standard P300 i4 engine can tow 7,716 pounds at maximum. A difference of 500 pounds really isn’t all that significant where powerful SUVs are concerned, so you shouldn’t feel as though you have to upgrade to plan bigger adventures.

The payload capacity will vary from trim to trim, and you’ll need to factor in passengers’ weight and cargo if you’re pushing the limits of your cargo area. It’s a good idea to review all of the manuals and guides that came with your vehicle before you travel with a heavy payload or hook up a trailer.

If you prefer, you can contact us at Land Rover Annapolis to help you start towing. Keep in mind that a Defender can carry between 176 and 260 pounds on its roof, depending on the configuration. The 2020 Land Rover Defender has so much to offer inside and out!
