This TAG Heavy Duty Towbar bolts to Land Rover Defender models from 01/2020 and gives you a solid hitch for hauling trailers, campers or boxes. The bar runs the full width of the rear chassis so the towing load spreads properly when you tackle long highway runs or corrugated tracks. The square receiver takes standard towing gear, so you can swap between a ball mount and other hitch accessories without drama. The main section uses thick steel and a tough protective coating to stand up to stone strikes and coastal air on Aussie trips. Mounting plates line up with the factory points on the Defender, so the bar sits where it should and keeps ground clearance sensible for mild off-road work. The receiver suits the common 50 mm hitch size, which means your existing rated tongues and shackles will usually drop straight in for day to day towing.

Q: Does this towbar fit all Land Rover Defender models from 2020?

It is made for Land Rover Defender models built from 01/2020 onwards. Always cross-check your build month on the vehicle compliance plate before ordering. Different body styles or special editions can sometimes have unique rear setups. If you are unsure, confirm the part number against your VIN with your installer.

Q: Can I use my existing 50 mm hitch accessories with this towbar?

Yes, it is built around the common 50 mm style square receiver. Most standard 50 mm ball mounts and compatible hitch accessories will fit. Always make sure the accessory is rated to at least the same or higher towing capacity as your vehicle. Use a correctly sized hitch pin and clip every time you tow.

Q: Will the towbar affect my rear departure angle off-road?

The bar tucks in close to the Defender’s rear bumper, so the impact on departure angle is moderate. You may notice the tongue or trailer coupling touch down earlier on steep washouts. Choosing a higher-rise tongue can help in mild off-road use. Always approach obstacles slowly and pick lines that protect the hitch.

Q: Do I need wiring or an electronic brake controller with this towbar?

The towbar itself is the physical mounting point and does not include wiring or brake control. Any trailer with electric brakes will need a suitable in-vehicle brake controller. A wiring loom matched to the Defender should be fitted to power the trailer lights. Your auto electrician or installer can supply and fit those parts alongside the bar.

Vehicle compatibility: Land Rover Defender built from January 2020 onwards.
