Range Rover: Towing a trailer - Towing - Range Rover Owner's ManualRange Rover: Towing a trailer

WARNING WARNING

Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), maximum rear axle weight, maximum trailer weight or tow hitch load (tongue weight). Exceeding any of these limits could cause instability and loss of control.

WARNING WARNING

Never exceed the maximum weights for either the vehicle, or the trailer. Doing so can cause accelerated wear and damage to the vehicle. It can also adversely affect vehicle stability and braking which in turn can lead to loss of control and increased braking distance, resulting in a rollover or crash.

WARNING WARNING

To preserve handling and stability, only fit Land Rover approved towing accessories.

WARNING WARNING

Never use towing eyes or lashing points to tow a trailer. They have not been designed for this purpose and doing so may cause them to fail, resulting in injury or death.

WARNING WARNING

When towing, do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), or 50 mph (80 km/h) if the temporary spare wheel is in use.

WARNING WARNING

The tongue weight of the vehicle’s load carrying area and rear seat passengers, must never exceed the specified maximum rear axle load. Exceeding allowable vehicle and axle loads will increase the risk of tire and suspension failure, increase vehicle brake stopping distance and adversely affect vehicle handling and stability. This may result in a crash or rollover.

NOTICE NOTICE

To avoid overheating the gearbox, it is not advisable to tow heavy trailer loads at speeds of less than 21 mph (32 km/h) in High range. Select Low range instead.

Note: It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that the towing vehicle and trailer are being used correctly in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and any applicable legislation, including the use of the correct size towing hitch for the trailer.
