Assuming you have a real hitch, I think you'd be ok as far as the weight
goes for just the Land Rover and a dolly. However, I'd check the Land
Rover's manual and see what it says about towing. It'll probably
suggest a flatbed for that distance. At that point, you'll be pulling a
lot more weight, and probably more than you should be pulling.
