I use a 75 buck 3500 Mr Hitch or something and the original receiver. Our small off road van sits level and a large rated shackle through the chains completes the set-up.
No way was I spending 700 plus for a bit of fabricated square tubing just so the tow bit sits higher......I take the original plough out when not towing as I wouldn't be in real rough stuff with a van on the back.

Awesome, has made camping with kids a lot easier. Picked it up in September last year and have used it at a minimum every month. Before that it was once or twice a year.Quote:

I have the D4 + Mitch Hitch + X1 combination and it works a treat. I normally run at Llams +30mm to get the X1 dead level. Lots of clearance to get over all those high country water bars, and the tailgate lets you do this.

Hi
I have just purchased a Discovery 3 2009 which has a Hayman Reece tow bar with the normal square hitch that pulls out
Does anyone have any clues on why this has been fitted? I opened a little hatch in the rear left side and found the
Land Rover Hitch is there not sure what you call it but had the green handle that turns to lock it in
The Hayman Reece hangs lower and you would loose some rear clearance off road ??
Thanks Chris
It would have been changed over because the OEM D3 tow bar (plow) hangs down even further.
We have Treg block hitches on both our campers and they work fine, with a reversing camera.
I downloaded an app. called Bubble level to my phone which I use to level the camper and it shows the campers are pretty level with the Treg on the Defender.
Thanks for the information, I suspected that the original would hang lower.Quote:
