Thread: D4 and towing tongue and ball

Can't check at the moment but seem to recall 175mm

LR specs see to say no greater than 160mm so perhaps that's the length. Looking at a 160mm ARK unit with 3500kg loading.

I got the 160mm ARK unit with 3500kg loading from ISP for $100.
have been towing a 23ft caravan with it for 3 years.

dazray, does the ARK unit have a solid or hollow square shaft?


The reason I ask is that I'm looking for one as well and my experience with the hollow shaft is that the holes and the pin flog out due to the small contact point.
