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).
For the Land Rover Defender gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. 550 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. The four-wheel drive ensures that the traction is not lost even on rough terrain.

The basic prerequisite - the trailer hitch - is given, because a corresponding device is already included in this offer.
