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)

Which Land Rover Defender Engine is Right for You?

• 2.0L P300 i4 GAS: 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque
