You want to use the Land Rover Defender also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this question many different aspects, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With this vehicle, thanks to the maximum towing capacity of 3500 kg, you can tow virtually anything that wants to be towed privately (caravan, horse trailer, boat) or professionally (larger machines, heavy material).
torque affects the Land Rover Defender how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 430 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule.
