2020 Land Rover Discovery Towing a Boat
The Discovery is a third-row SUV with seating up for 7 that’s crafted to take you and your family to familiar places around Miami-Dade County and uncharted territories far beyond, all thanks to its high towing capacities and expansive cargo space. How much can a Discovery tow? With the 3.0L P360 i6 gasoline engine and the right gear, the Discovery can tow an impressive 8,200 pounds… and that’s not all this luxury SUV has to offer! Land Rover South Dade goes more into depth into the details of the Discovery towing capacity and features in the guide below.

Discovery Towing Capacity

The maximum Discovery towing capacity allows you to haul up to 8,200 pounds from South Miami from your next destination, but this figure can only be achieved with the optional inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine. So, how much can a Discovery tow for the other engine?

With the standard 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine, the Discovery can tow up to 5,952 pounds. Regardless of which engine option you choose, you will be able to tow with the benefits that come with all-wheel drive and Terrain Response® for optimal traction on various road conditions.
