As you circle around the 2023 Land Rover Defender, you’re curious about how much it could hold and how much it could tow. Would the towing capacity it offers be enough for your Rockland, Norwell, and Weymouth, Massachusetts, hauls?
Here to the rescue, Land Rover Rockland produced a guide to this and other features you’ll be coveting in this sturdy SUV.
A total of three engines can be chosen for your Defender. You have the standard Twin Turbocharged 2.0L I4 engine that produces 296 horsepower with 295 lb-ft of torque.
Next, your car could be outfitted with an available Turbocharged 3.0L I6 engine that produces 395 horsepower. This pairs up with the 406 lb-ft of torque.
For maximum power, this Land Rover can be equipped with an optional Supercharged 5.0L V8 engine. This puts out an elevated level of power by producing 518 horsepower supported by 461 lb-ft of torque.

Decide what works best for your individual needs.
No matter the trim or body style, the Land Rover Defender uses All-Wheel Drive with Terrain Response® 2. This gives you a superior grip on the road, whether it’s slippery, rocky, or otherwise challenging for most other vehicles.
If you’re opting for this road warrior with a V8 engine in place, you can expect other systems to be added to your vehicle. These include:
The first system, Terrain Response® 2 with Dynamic Program, adds several other modes to accommodate a diverse amount of road conditions. To save specific modes that you’ve used for specific areas, use Configurable Terrain Response®. ATPC presets the speed you want to travel when conquering unsteady or uneven grounds.
Customized packs give you an edge on the competition. The packs include Explorer, Adventure, Country, and Urban. With a quick review of each, you’ll know which is a good fit for your needs.
The Explorer and Adventure packs each provide an exterior side-mounted gear carrier for extra space. Additionally, the Explorer offers the Expedition Roof Rack, which holds 370 pounds. A static load expands that amount to 661 pounds.
To keep the cargo space separate from the cabin, the Country pack may be your style. It gives you a cargo space partition at full height to create a serene space for you and your passengers.
