As my sig says, you CAN pull anything. I pulled out a 12f tree trunk, under 4 feet of clay with my 90. Whether or not its legal is another story.
how much can a landy pull?

Older ones may have different limits, but new ones are as this.
The legal maximum is 3500kg, but that's the most land Rover could set it at without it becoming a goods vehicle. MAM of a 110 is 3050 according to Land Rover's site, and a maximum towing weight of 3500kg braked

Maximum towing capacity 3.5 tonnes (the weight of the trailer) but the trailer must be braked. You'll see articles around where people have had air brakes fitted for trailers. Performance wouldn't be dynamic it might be said.

300 Tdi brochure attached to this comment. If it's a 4 wheel trailer with coupled brakes, Defenders can legally tow up to 4000kg (4 tons)

Mine ripped the arse out of my trousers and my bank account
Coupled brakes makes a difference in any tow capacity. Not many on here have this set up.
There is also reference that maybe a defender can only do it in “low”??
Personally not sure I would even want to tow 3.5t in the 90. Break out the Range Rover for that
Yes a thread revival but a common question.and a minefield.

I've pulled a Disco 3 and a loaded twin axle cattle trailer out of a field after he got bogged down..
must of been over 5 tonne
Low range 1st my Rangie handled it superbly
I've seen a few 110's pulling stuck arctics so they can pull when required!

Iirc the reason land rovers have such a high towing weight is due to them being fitted with low range box.
Not many of the competitiors have such high towing weights.
Main thing in the UK is what the drivers licence says they can tow, I think if born after 1997 max trailer weight is 750kg loaded ie all up weight.
I didnt realise until the other day after your 70th birthday you apparently lose your right to drive up to 7.5 ton on a std car licence?

What they “can pull” and what’s legal for public roads is where people fall foul.
Although most LR family have a 3.5t capacity not all license holders do.

Nothing to do with birth year. Its do with when they passed their test.
There are 3 dates. Copied from Gov website.
Licences issued before 1 January 1997
If you passed your car test before 1 January 1997 you’re usually allowed to drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to 8,250kg MAM. View your driving licence information to check.
You’re also allowed to drive a minibus with a trailer over 750kg MAM.
Licences issued from 1 January 1997
If you passed your car driving test on or after 1 January 1997 you can:
- drive a car or van up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass (MAM) towing a trailer of up to 750kg MAM
- tow a trailer over 750kg MAM as long as the combined MAM of the trailer and towing vehicle is no more than 3,500kg
You can already tow trailers up to 750kg.
You can also tow heavier trailers if the combined weight of the trailer and vehicle isn’t more than 3,500kg maximum authorised mass (MAM).

Thanks for this, i wasn't sure on the specifics and i might end up towing my mums morris with my series if she's not up to driving it home.
So Series being 1340kg + Morris at 780kg = Plenty of weight left for a trailer.
