Land Rover Defender II 90 P400 XS AWD Automatik - Towing vehicle

Is the Land Rover Defender also good for towing trailers? In order to answer this issue the automobile must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With this motor 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. 550 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. 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.

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

Evaluation - is the Land Rover Defender suitable as a towing vehicle?: The vehicle can be trailers with enormous 3500 kg pull own weight . He can rely on strong 550 Nm access 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.
