    Hayman Reese Towbar

    Saw a D3 in the car park as I went into Repco in Adelaide City on Tuesday.

    As the title of the thread indicates - it had a Hayman Reese Towbar.



    I did a double take as I have not seen a D3 with an after market/add on towbar before. I didn't think one would be necessary.
    Cheers, Dale

    Can only assume they tow something very low.

    Like a plough

    Whoever had that installed obviously had no intention of ever going off road.

    Because I saw one (and yes there is a pic of it ) they must do.

    It is rated the same as the Land Rover towbar so I am still not sure what benefit there is having one instead of using the OEM towbar.

    I might have something to do with the owner of H/R having a Discovery.

    We built a new manufacturing facility for Trimas Corporation the owners of the H/R brand and there was always a couple of Discoveries in the staff car park.

    I think the idea behind this was for those caravan owners that just "had to have a WDH".

    Apparently the story was that the air suspension is not the reason you can't use a WDH, its because the tow bar attachment doesn't allow safe redistribution of the forces that a WDH will put through the chassis.

    So HR made this wonderful answer to the "problem".
