Range Rover: Towing a trailer
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
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
To preserve handling and stability, only fit Land Rover approved towing accessories.
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
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
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
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.
