What is the Land Rover Discovery's towing capacity?

I’ve always wanted a Land Rover Discovery. The styling is awesome and it has one of the most luxurious interiors I’ve ever seen. My only apprehension lies with its ability to tow my trailer. What’s the towing capacity of the Land Rover Discovery?

With three rows of seats, room for seven people, and a well-appointed interior, the
Land Rover Discovery
is an excellent choice for your next luxury car. Even if you’re feeling apprehensive about power, you should feel comfortable with the Discovery’s towing capacity of up to 8,200 pounds.
However, the 8,200-pound towing capacity will cost a bit more to achieve. If you want to maximize towing power, you need to upgrade to a:
  • 3.0-liter inline V-6 with 359 horsepower and 366 pound-feet of torque
  • The additional tow package
If you’re towing a trailer that’s not too heavy and you don’t want to spend too much, you can also go with the standard 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder that produces 296 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. With this setup, you still get a respectable 6,613 pounds of towing capacity, which should be enough to move your trailer with ease.
Since you travel with a trailer and you’re getting a new Land Rover Discovery, you need a car insurance policy that covers both. Most liability insurance policies should cover both, but do some research just to make sure. If you’re not sure where to start, try the
