Land Rover Defender Driving Style

Driving Style

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:

  • Terrain Response® 2 with Dynamic Program
  • Configurable Terrain Response®
  • All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC)

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.


Towing Capacity

Most of the trims give you a towing capacity of 7,716 pounds when properly equipped, which provides a satisfying amount of heft. If you’re craving more or you simply own a boat or pack loaded trailers that exceed that level, the Defender 130 trim can tow up to 8,201 pounds at its best when properly configured.

A tow hitch receiver can be found to hook up your trailer in the rear of the Defender. You could even purchase a tow hitch cover if you’d like to retain the sleek look of this machine. Some trims come with Advanced Tow Assist to help you keep your trailer and SUV in synch.

Customized Packs

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.
