I don't have a D5 but Hayman Reece do a kit to use the already fitted towbar.
Have recently acquired a Easytrail Hybrid Camper Trailer due to arrive end November.
Any ideas on towbar for 2017 Disco 5, as trailer has requirement for 50 mil ball.
Landrover can order a towbar for the vehicle from the UK but delivery is 7-8 months!
Any other alternatives that owners are successfully using?

What do you mean by "tow bar"? I thought all D5s came with a tow hitch receiver and most with the tow hitch. If you didn't get a tow hitch, any 50 mm tow hitch will work, unless it is very long and fowls the spare tyre, in which case, just cut off the excess. Make sure it is rated for the correct tow ball weight and trailer ATM. Ezytrail make a large range of hybrids so I don't know what you weights will be.
Make sure whatever you buy will end up with the correct height for the tow ball. Ask the manufacturer what the required height is. My Crossover needs 500 mm above ground - check to see what is recommended for yours and get a tow hitch with the correct offset.

The D5 I have does not come with tow hitch receiver unfortunately and I am thinking of installing the Hayman Reece but ARB advised, that due to the electronics on the vehicle, I should go for a Landrover model and installation. This is why I am checking to see if anyone else has installed an alternative to a Landrover product ,as I do not really want to wait for 7 months.
Cheers
I was also under the impression all D5s came with a tow bar, but checking the 2017 specs it was optional for the 'S' model. In 2018 the tow bar was standard on all models.
