Can you flat tow a Land Rover Defender?

My aunt sold me her Land Rover Defender on the cheap because I needed a vehicle. However, I’m not sure if I can tow it behind my RV. Is it possible to flat tow a Land Rover Defender behind a recreational vehicle?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Unfortunately, you cannot flat tow a Land Rover Defender under any circumstances. Due to its unique permanent four-wheel-drive system that blends all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, flat towing would damage the Defender’s transmission and drivetrain. Add in the fact that it’s an imported vehicle, and you’re looking at some expensive repairs if you choose to flat tow a Land Rover Defender.
The only surefire way to tow the Land Rover Defender without damaging the underpinnings is by buying a flatbed trailer. These can run from $1,000 to $3,000, so don’t let sticker shock hit if you decide to buy one.
If you want to save some extra cash for a trailer, reduce your
