TOWING
WARNING
To preserve the vehicle’s handling and
stability, only fit towing accessories that have
been designed and approved by Land Rover.
The torque ranges of Land Rover engines allow
maximum-weight loads to be pulled smoothly
from standstill, and reduce gear changing on
hills or rough terrain. A smooth start will be
achieved with trailers over 4400 lb (2000 kg) by
moving off in low range then changing to high
range while on the move.
The trailer tongue weight, plus the combined
weight of the vehicle’s load-carrying area and
passengers, must never exceed the specified
maximum rear axle load or the gross vehicle
weight rating.
The suspension will automatically be set to
standard height when the towing electrical
socket is utilised and is designed to cope with a
heavy trailer load without upsetting the balance
or feel of the vehicle.
DO NOT exceed the gross weight or axle loads
stated on the certification label attached to
the vehicle. Exceeding allowable vehicle and
axle loads will increase the risk of tire or
suspension failure, increase vehicle brake
stopping distance, and adversely affect
vehicle handling and stability which may
result in a crash or rollover.
DO NOT use lashing eyes or vehicle recovery
towing eyes to tow a trailer or caravan.
It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that the
towing vehicle and trailer are loaded and
balanced so that the combination is stable
when in motion. When preparing your vehicle
for towing, pay attention to any instructions
provided by the trailer/caravan manufacturer as
well as to the information that follows.
