To safely pull up to 8,201 lbs, your Defender must be equipped with trailer brakes. We also recommend the optional Advanced Tow Assist, which lets you reverse your trailer using a rotary dial rather than counter-steering with the steering wheel. If you plan to tow frequently, compare the differences between the body styles in our Defender 90 vs 110 vs 130 Guide.
