Strange question but my wife's new car has arrived and we now don't have a towbar... or do we?
Is this flimsy looking thing the 1600kg towbar? |

I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. Have you got any other pictures or where the said towbar would join etc?
I'm sure some of the forum goers would be able to give you an accurate answer though. |

Well I guess it is a tow bar. All you need is the tongue and ball that bolts to it. Remove the plastic piece on the bumper.

If that is a support for a towbar you may be lucky to tow about 100kg.

thats not a towbar... its just where to support the spare wheel holder... i brought a 1600kg towbar from a wreckers down hear for $100... you have to remove that brace and your rear bar, then bolt it in about 5 different places...
Cheers Cam

It's Barossa Red. I got the cover from Ford for $15 (+ can paint from Autobarn). I'll probably hang onto it ;) |
