    D4 and towing tongue and ball

    So what are some brands of tongue and ball that will fit the D4 factory supplied hitch? Cost is like $250 for the genuine one.

    thanks

    Im yet to try,but was told ANY Reese style will fit.You can flip them to raise the ball height.Biggest issue is finding one with the rating to match the D4,many are 2500kg or 3000kg.

    Andersen Hitch Stingers. When purchased from the US they are rated to 8000lb (3636kg) with 800lb (363kg) downforce in the 2" hitch. However the seller here, Titan Trailer Brakes - Stingers states 2200kg. Would be interesting to see what is actually stamped into the hitch itself, mine has the 8000/800lb stamping.

    Thanks. So does anyone know what the drop on the LR tongue is? Suspect that the tongue needs to be turned upside down to be more level and dont know what drop of an alternative I'd need to buy.

    Hayman tongue and ball for $109 from super cheap. You can rotate the tongue 180 degrees ir required.

    Mine fit perfectly as it is.

    I haven't tried my factory hitch yet, but being second hand it came without the tongue. Fortunately I kept my old one from my D2. Keen to try this flip theory though.

    Depending on where you are in Melb, you're welcome to call by and have a look at the LR tongue I have. I'll be getting rid of it as soon as I can get the ball tightened on my Andersen Hitch Stinger. PM me if you want...
    Regards, Will

    So what's wrong with the ball?

    Nothing, I'm using an 8000lb Andersen greaseless ball, and don't have the tools to tighten the nut properly right now, when I can get to a mates place I'll do it...
