    Defender 90 Tow bar?

    Does anyone have any advice as to the choice of towbars/towballs for a new (MY12/13) Defender 90?

    The dealer fitted 'Tow Pack' option is $1400 which I cannot see the value in when Hayman Reese units are <$700 fitted from ARB. Thoughts and suggestions most welcome. Thanks.

    G'day Horatioau,

    If you look here

    MY12 Defender 90 towbar.

    You will glean a lot of information here. Prior to my buying a MY12 90 I looked on here for ideas and found that particular thread and used those part numbers for the OEM Land Rover tow bar which works perfectly. It does appear to tuck away more so than other bars I think, plus you get the added benefit of keeping the rear fold up step.

    I got the dealer to throw mine in as part of the deal so they can't be too expensive

    Mick.

    Yoikes, The towbar kit itself is only around $500 rounded up......

    By it yourself & fit it, its only a bunch of nuts & bolts & a little wiring.

    easy to fit at towbar yourself. I removed the OEM from my 90 because I got annoyed with it getting caught on departure. It did have steps to each side of it also which didn't help.

    Looking at one of these now which barely effects departure angle when drop plate removed and also adds a recovery point
