Hey there,

Is there any reason to replace the factory towbar on a brand new 76 cruiser? Are they alright to tow the Kedron 3.5 t? I am using a HR WDH as well.

Cheers,

Pete

Might be a silly question - why did you buy toyota tow bar (an option) and not know if it would tow your trailor?

Hey Alex,
Good question, I know the tow bar is "rated" just wanted to gain some peoples experience, good or bad..

We are just about to head off on the big lap for a few years and I guess I am getting paranoid about getting everything perfect, if there is ever such a thing. :-)

Thanks Darryl,

Is it true HR make the bars for Toyota anyway? I noticed the sticker on the towbar reads "Made In Australia".

Anyone know?

You definately should replace the Toyota towbar. No good that Toyota stuff. More importantly though you should replace the engine as well. And then of course there is the transmission.
Maybe you should have brought a Nissan, or Jeep or.........
