The TAG Heavy Duty Towbar T4F842 hooks straight into Next-Gen Ford Ranger cab chassis from 06/2022 and Volkswagen Amarok cab chassis from 12/2022 so you can tow work trailers or campers off the rear tray without dodgy clamp-on hitches. The square tube sits tight under the tray and keeps the ball mount centred on the chassis so the ute tracks clean when you are towing across corrugations or backing into tight driveways after work.

The cross tube uses thick-wall steel and welded side plates that line up with factory chassis points, so the load spreads along the rails instead of one thin bracket. A black powder-coat finish keeps the metal covered from red dirt, coastal air and stray stones flicked up by the rear tyres. Match it with a standard 50 mm tow ball and you have solid towing gear that feels like part of the ute, not an afterthought.

Q: Does this towbar fit tub-body Next-Gen Rangers or Amaroks?

No, this towbar is for cab chassis models only. The mounting points and rear overhang differ between tray-back and tub-body utes, so each uses a different towbar design. Running the wrong style can foul on the body or sit the hitch at the wrong height. Check that your vehicle has a cab chassis tray before ordering this kit.

Q: Can I use a standard 50 mm tow ball with this towbar?

Yes, it is made for a standard 50 mm tow ball mount. That means most common ball mounts and trailer couplings used across Australia will slot straight in. Always check that your ball mount and coupling share the same rating as the towbar. Replace worn balls or mounts before loading up heavy trailers.

Q: Is the towbar suitable for both work trailers and campers?

Yes, it suits general towing where the trailer uses a standard ball coupling. You can hook up box trailers, small equipment trailers or many camper trailers that run a 50 mm ball. Always match the trailer weight to the tow rating stamped on your vehicle and the towbar. Keep heavy loads balanced over the trailer axle for stable towing.

Q: Do I need to modify the rear tray to fit this towbar?

In most cases the towbar tucks under the existing alloy or steel tray without major changes. The side plates line up with chassis points designed to take towing gear. Some trays with custom rear steps or toolboxes may need small tweaks around the hitch area. Measure the rear cross member clearance if your tray is heavily modified before you book a fitment.

Suitable for Next-Gen Ford Ranger cab chassis models built from 06/2022-on. Suitable for Volkswagen Amarok cab chassis models built from 12/2022-on. Suits cab chassis body style only and does not suit pickup tub models.
