What's the legal towing limit on rrs?

Hi all I'm looking into buying a rrs just wondering what the Towing limit of a rrs? Gross train weight? as I do a lot of winch challenge and need it to tow my truck.

Thanks.

I'm sure someone told me that it wasn't 3.5t (2.7 rings a bell)

But hopefully there wrong 😃 can anyone one tell me the weights stated on the vin plate. Or take a pic with the vin number covered

Pref of a 2.7tdv6 around 06-07

Thanks.

They are all 3.5 tonne towing capacity. The only modern Land Rovers that aren't 3.5 tonne are the Freelander/Evoque. Unless the hybrids are different. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I think so, yes, because the RRS is less than the GVW and the trailer + load is within the rated towing limit. The two together are less than the gross train weight. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Spain 

a) You need the correct licence
b) Size does matter (or so I have heard Whistle )
c) Finally, make sure that what you tow is for Private use (and that you can prove it) else you will require a tachograph

A simple guide
https://www.gov.uk/towing-with-car/driving...ou-can-tow In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.
