This TAG Heavy Duty Towbar bolts up to a SsangYong Musso Ute Short Wheel Base from 10/2018 on and gives you a solid hitch point for trailers, campers or work gear within the factory tow rating. The bar tucks neatly under the rear bumper, so you can still back up to a trailer without guessing clearances or clipping gear when you get out there on weekends or after work.

The bar uses a heavy steel cross tube and side plates that pick up the Musso’s factory chassis mounts, so the load goes straight into the rails instead of thin sheet metal. A coated finish helps it stand up to road grime and coastal air, which matters if you tow to the beach or sit on gravel roads for long stretches. It is a smart buy if your Musso needs reliable towing hardware.

Q: Does this towbar fit the long wheel base Musso?

No, this towbar is specified only for the SsangYong Musso Ute Short Wheel Base from 10/2018 onwards. The chassis length and rear overhang differ between short and long wheel base models. That means the mounting points and bar shape are not interchangeable. Always match the towbar part number to your exact body style.

Q: Can I still use the factory rear bumper with this towbar?

Yes, the towbar is shaped to sit under the standard rear bumper on the Musso Short Wheel Base. The mounting brackets pick up chassis points without cutting the bumper cover. The hitch receiver sits just below the bumper edge for trailer coupling access. Always follow the fitting instructions supplied with the bar.

Q: Do I need wiring to go with this towbar?

Yes, a trailer plug and wiring loom are needed so the trailer lights work with the vehicle. The towbar itself is the steel mounting gear and hitch. A vehicle-specific wiring kit is usually recommended for modern utes. Check local regulations to ensure your trailer lighting setup is compliant.

Q: Will this towbar affect my spare wheel access?

The towbar mounts under the rear of the tub and is laid out so the spare wheel remains usable in typical Musso configurations. You may need to lower or raise the spare carefully around the hitch. Always follow safe lifting practices when working around the spare and towbar hardware.
