Land Rover Defender II 90 D240 HSE AWD Automatik - Towing vehicle

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

With this car, 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).
For the Land Rover Defender gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. 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. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this car distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this offer does not yet include trailer hitch and must be added to this.

Evaluation - is the Land Rover Defender suitable as a towing vehicle?: The car can be trailers with enormous 3500 kg pull own weight . The whole is pulled by the strong 430 Nm Torque - that sounds like a lot, it is, the Land Rover Defender is a born towing vehicle. Horse trailers with one horse (possibly two) are no problem, also large (luxury) caravans or smaller excavators and other heavy equipment. Please note that you may need a driving license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
