Hi,
I am looking to buy a towbar for my Disco series 1 that is rated at at least 200kg.
Hayman Reece would be perfect but is only rated at 150kg, apparently ARB Towmaster is rated at 200kg but I'm not sure how these sit on the Disco. The receiver has to be straight as I am fitting a bike carrier, does anyone have a Towmaster bar on a Disco?
Cheers
Mark

The standard factory towbar is rated to 250kg over the ball, Discos and Defenders have a 3500kg tow rating, why do you need an after market one??

IIRC the D1 was rated at only 150kg. This was the manufacturers rating and cannot be overridden by the towbar rating. The D2 has a 250kg rating.
