Nasty. Thankfully I have never needed a stabilizer or had any wag when towing with a Defender... The tow bar being so close to the rear wheels, the aerodynamics or lack of and the stiff suspension makes it a great tow vehicle

Ouch!
Thankfully the Defender is a very stable towing platform, although I do find the tow bar mounted way too high up. I had a dropper plate put in to lower mine by 2" but it could do with another inch or so. A badly loaded trailer (or one with poor weight distribution) can still snake... 2011 110 USW
