2025 Land Rover Towing Capacity: 7 Models Ranked by Power

Planning to tow a boat to the lake this summer? Need to haul your camper to the mountains? Land Rover trucks and SUVs can pull between 2,000kg and 3,500kg, depending on which model you choose. But which one matches your towing needs?

We've ranked all seven 2025 Land Rover models by their towing capacity. Plus, we'll show you the three different hitch systems available and explain the tech features that make backing up a trailer much easier.

1- Range Rover - 3,500kg Towing Capacity

The Range Rover leads our list with 3,500kg of pulling power. That's enough for a 30-foot travel trailer or a large boat. The nose weight limit sits at 150kg, giving you stable towing even with heavy loads. You can choose any of the three available hitch systems with this model.

The Range Rover's structural strength pairs with smart drivetrain management to keep your trailer under control. Whether you're climbing mountain passes or navigating cottage country roads, this SUV maintains composure with heavy loads behind it.

2- Range Rover Sport - 3,500kg Towing Capacity

Matching its bigger sibling, the Range Rover Sport also pulls 3,500kg. The plug-in hybrid version keeps the same towing capacity as the gas models. This earned it the Best Plug-in Hybrid Tow Car award in 2019. Like the standard Range Rover, it handles 150kg nose weight.

The Sport's athletic handling doesn't disappear when you hook up a trailer. Advanced stability systems work overtime to keep both vehicle and trailer tracking straight, even during quick lane changes or emergency maneuvers.

3- Discovery - 3,500kg Towing Capacity

The Discovery has won its weight class at the Tow Car Awards nine years straight. With 3,500kg capacity and 150kg nose weight rating, it matches the Range Rover models for raw pulling power. The seven-seat layout makes it ideal for families who tow.

What sets the Discovery apart? Its rear air suspension automatically levels the vehicle when you connect a heavy trailer. This keeps your headlights aimed properly and maintains optimal weight distribution across all four wheels.

4- Defender - 3,500kg Towing Capacity

The Defender rounds out the 3,500kg club. Built for work and play, it pulls heavy loads while handling rough terrain. The 150kg nose weight capacity keeps trailers stable on bumpy roads and steep grades.

The Defender's approach and departure angles remain useful even while towing. You can pull your boat down steep launch ramps or navigate rough campground access roads without scraping the hitch or trailer tongue.

5- Range Rover Velar - 2,500kg Towing Capacity

The Velar sits in the middle of the pack with 2,500kg towing capacity. That's plenty for most boats, small campers, and utility trailers. The nose weight drops to 100kg, which still provides good stability for medium loads.

Despite its sleeker profile, the Velar doesn't sacrifice towing confidence. The same advanced driver assistance systems found in larger models help you manage trailer sway and maintain control during crosswinds.

6- Range Rover Evoque - 2,000kg Towing Capacity

The compact Evoque can tow 2,000kg - enough for jet skis, small boats, or cargo trailers. With 100kg nose weight capacity, it handles weekend adventure gear without breaking a sweat.

City dwellers appreciate the Evoque's smaller footprint for daily driving, but its towing capacity opens up weekend escape possibilities. Hook up a small camper or boat, and you're ready for adventure beyond city limits.

7- Discovery Sport - 2,000kg Towing Capacity

Like the Evoque, the Discovery Sport pulls up to 2,000kg. But it adds two extra seats, making it the smallest seven-seater that can tow. The 100kg nose weight rating works well for family camping trips.

Those third-row seats fold flat when you need cargo space, creating room for camping gear, sports equipment, or whatever else your adventures require - all while still pulling your trailer.

Three Hitch Options to Choose From

• Electrically Deployable Tow Bar 
• This high-tech hitch hides behind your bumper until you need it. Push a button in the cargo area or on your screen, and it drops down in 12 seconds. It handles the full 3,500kg capacity with 200kg nose weight - the highest rating available. Built-in trailer light testing saves time during hookup.
• Detachable Tow Bar 
• The traditional choice uses a standard 50mm tow ball. You can remove it when not towing for a cleaner look. It pulls up to 3,500kg with 195kg nose weight capacity. Simple, proven, and reliable.
• Multi-Height Tow Bar 
• Similar to the detachable version but with height adjustment. Great for switching between different trailers. Also rated for 3,500kg towing and 195kg nose weight. The adjustability helps achieve proper tongue weight with various trailer types.

Smart Towing Features That Actually Help

• Tow Assist shows where your trailer will go when backing up. Guidelines on your screen adjust to match your trailer width. No more getting out to check your angle at the boat ramp.
• Advanced Tow Assist lets you use the Terrain Response dial to steer your trailer while reversing. The screen shows both where you're going and where you want to go. It turns frustrating parking lot maneuvers into controlled operations.
• Tow Hitch Assist makes coupling easy. A coloured dot shows your tow ball position on screen with path guidelines. Line up the dot with your trailer coupler and back straight up.
• Surround Camera System uses five cameras to give you a bird's-eye view. See your trailer from every angle while maneuvering. Check clearances, monitor your load, and spot obstacles without leaving the driver's seat.
