    Axle ratings

    Hi all,
    We are about to put an order in for a Defender D300 and queried the axle rating - was sent the chart below, thought it would be of interest. I attained through the sales person who I believe sourced it from their respective parts dept.

    Are there mechanical differences or is it all spring/shock and sway bar rates?
    Cheers

    Who ever gave that info doesn't know their posterior from their elbow....those ratings refer to the previous "classic" Defender (up to 2016 MY).

    Try this:

    Land Rover iGuide Online

    1800 kg for the 5 seater 110

    1900 kg for the 7 seater 110

    Towing is a black art which I do not practice...a few here do so reach out!!

    Must have been an early April fools day joke by the sales/parts department. Axle ratings

    Go back to the sales person, and order the 130 dual cab, and see what happens.

    Yes, it was. Or in my case still is.

    The 110 Hi Cap has the same axle capacity and GVM.
