Hi folks.
I am considering fitting an Ozhitch to my 2007 Canning model TVan, to make it easier to hitch up to my 80 series Landcruiser.
I would appreciate any advice, recommendations or brickbats from owners/users of this product. It looks easy compared to what I currently have.
Thank you in advance.
Jack

I fitted an oz-hitch a few weeks ago to my 2004 Canning Tvan.
Was over $100 than a new treg or DO3500.
Works fine, easy to attach to vehicle, works good.
Had to redrill the front holes, and new centre holes on the Tvan drawbar hitch plate.
I guess time and distance will tell if it was a good decision, but happy so far.

I've replaced the Treg on our Ultimate with the Ozhitch acouple of months ago. Much easier!

Our new Vista Crossover came with an Ozhitch, worked OK on level concrete but I found it jammed & was less than satisfactory on uneven surfaces. After two trips I took it off & fitted a Vehicle Components drop on hitch, it is far better.

Forgot to mention, that the Vista drawbar is drilled for both Ozhitch & VC drop on hitches, made the change over very simple.
