Somewhere in 2035: Land Rover Discovery Tows 165, 000 pounds Space Shuttle to the Mars

Imagine the driver presses on the brake all of the sudden. That would be a hell of a ride for discovery.

Range Rover: "DO NOT ATTEMPT"
Me: "awh..." *Parks road train back in garage*

Is New Land Rover Defender (2020) capable of the same challenge? I am just curious as I am amazed by this attempt. 😍🤗😸

Always got respect for the discovery. A gen1 managed to get our horse box out of a grass park where it had beached completely. Even though the land rover was in the dirt too, it found enough traction to pull it out in 1 attempt. Astounded to this day

This'll be great in a Land Rover Discovery commercial ! "THE DISCOVERY EXPRESS HAS ARRIVED!" 👍👍👍

[rawaum]

Disclaimers- Do not Attempt
Me- oh thank god for telling me. I was just going to tow a train with my 10cc bicycle 😆😆

Goal 100m... 16km later!! That’s impressive.

[tanja]

600 Nm of torque!!!! You guys have some seriously good engineers. Ive got the D4, done some crazy things with her too!
Gotta give it to Land Rover, they have sure stood the test of time.

I'm guessing that all the auto box/ transmission shops in Aus' are hoping that everyone gives this a go.Bloody amazing stuff though, how it didn't just sit there with the wheels spinning is amazing

Hats off to that connection lever and bolts✨️

As somebody who’s never been a fan of 4x4s and SUVs this makes me want a Discovery.

This is another reason why land rover is the best
