    Tow bar for 130

    Hi guys
    I've just got a new 130 hcpu and was wondering if a standard tow bar will fit it or is there a special one I need

    I think it is possible to get one that sticks out further to clear the overhanging tub.

    A very handy feature.

    The standard 110 one will fit but it might be a pain to hook up your trailer with.

    Hayman reese make such a tow bar

    As previously mentioned, there's an extender you need to fit to the rear crossmember for the tow bar on a 130.

    on the other hand I sold my 130 tow bar as it dragged too much. I put a 110 on and bought an extended hitch which puts the ball near the end of the tray.
    Good for 2.5T so drop a bit in tow capacity, but all my towing is under 1T.

    Good to know Jason, I plan to do the same with my 130, that is, bolt on my tow bar from the 110 to gain about 75mm in clearance. As for the reduced tow capacity. Is that because the bar is rated less (i thought the 110 was 3,500t too) or the extended tow hitch?

    The extended hitch.
