FAQ

Can it be towed on all four wheels?
Yes. Put the main gearbox and the transfer box in neutral, unlock the diff lock and turn the key to position I to unlock the steering (p. 140).

Can I tow a trailer from the towing eyes?
No, they are only for recovering the vehicle on the road (p. 140).

What about towing with one axle lifted?
The propeller shaft to the axle left on the ground must be disconnected first, because the Defender has permanent four-wheel drive (p. 141).
