Land Rover Discovery: Towing weights

WEIGHTS, for details of the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Train Weight (GTW) and axle weights.

*The nose weight can be increased to a maximum of 175 kg for vehicles with 5 seats and to a maximum of 125 kg for vehicles with 7 seats. Make sure that the maximum rear axle, the GVW and the GTW weights are not exceeded.

Europe only

When towing, the maximum permissible GVW can be increased by a maximum of 100 kg, provided that the road speed is limited to 97 km/h (60 mph) or less.

Note: When calculating the rear axle loading, remember that the trailer's nose weight, the load in the vehicle's loadspace, the weight on the rails/roof rack and the weight of rear seat passengers, must all be added together.

TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST (TSA)

When a trailer is attached, TSA will automatically detect when trailer sway is developing. It will then gradually reduce the vehicle's speed, by cutting engine power and applying the brakes to help regain control.

TSA will not operate in the event of the trailer jack-knifing.

The ability of TSA may be reduced when travelling on slippery surfaces.

Note: TSA will not operate when Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is switched off.
