How Much Can a Land Rover Defender Tow?
The 2023 Defender is offered with three engines: a 2.0L i4, a 3.0L i6, and a 5.0L V8. All of the options provide plenty of power for towing heavy loads of cargo. Compare the Land Rover Defender towing capacity across the lineup:
- Defender with 2.0L P300 i4 GAS: Up to 7,716 pounds (Defender 90 or 110)
- Defender with 3.0L P400 i6 MHEV: Up to 7,716 pounds (Defender 90) or 8,201 pounds (Defender 110)
- Defender with 5.0L P525 V8 GAS: Up to 7,716 pounds (Defender 90 or 110)

Which Land Rover Defender Engine is Right for You?
All three of the Land Rover Defender engines have what it takes to haul heavy cargo, but with the best highway fuel economy and the highest maximum capacity, the P400 MHEV powertrain is probably the best choice for drivers who plan to do a lot of towing.
Compare the horsepower and torque outputs of all three options before you make a final decision:
- 2.0L P300 i4 GAS: 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque
- 3.0L P400 i6 MHEV: 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque
- 5.0L P525 V8 GAS: 518 hp and 625 lb-ft of torque
