Older Land Rover models (1992–2020)
Older Land Rover towing capacities going back to 1992. 27 models. Pre-2015 ratings predate SAE J2807, the standardised towing-capacity test that is now used industry-wide, so figures from those years may be measured under different assumptions than current ratings. Use them to track the trend within a single model rather than for direct cross-era comparison.

How to read Land Rover towing capacity figures
The headline tow rating for each Land Rover model on this page represents the maximum tow capacity published across every trim, cab, drivetrain, and hitch class — typically the manufacturer's gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating on heavy-duty pickups, and the bumper-pull rating on light-duty vehicles. Manufacturers commonly publish three figures per pickup: a conventional bumper-pull rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck/fifth-wheel rating. The number you can actually tow on the road is the lowest of these three, capped further by the receiver hitch installed on your specific vehicle.
Click any Land Rover model above to open the year-by-year breakdown. The model page lists every trim the source data carries separately, with the engine, drivetrain, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, payload, and axle ratio that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Use the door-jamb sticker on your specific vehicle as the final source of truth — these figures are for reference and lookup only.
