Thread: Defender 130 Tow Bar with Long Range Tank

From your images it looks to be designed to incorporate that in its design.

Have you spoken to The tank boys?

I emailed the tank people, they say they aren't sure and sent me some more photos:




It does look like it has been purposely shaped to fit the tow bar struts.....hmmmmm.

Anybody know someone around Sydney who has this or another big tank installed then I could see if the towbar fits haha really trying my luck now

If it came down to it - would not be difficult to have a local towbar mob make a set of bars to suit..

I'd put money on it through that it's going to fit.

I have a normal genuine towbar that has the bars that the tank was designed to avoid. I can grab some pics of that if you like.


Still has std tank though.

Hi,

If you could take a few photos it would be really helpful! Would also be interested to see the type of tow bar you have and how it fits.

My 110 had a Land Rover towbar fitted from new, which I had to change for a Hayman Reese when I fitted the long range tank.

I have fitted a Hayman Reese towbar to my long range tank equipped 130 and I could be wrong (often am) but my understanding is that this is the only towbar which will fit with that tank.
