Land Rover Discovery cares not for tow ratings, pulls 121-ton road train

That's bound to void the warranty.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

For those of you using Freedom Units, that's about 267,000 pounds.

Its tow rating is a still-meaty 7,716 pounds, but it's nowhere near 267,000 pounds.

Seriously, don't. You will void your warranty until the heat death of the universe.

Thankfully, Land Rover can trash its own cars and not worry about warranty coverage.
