Today my Prado got a Trailboss tow bar fitted and wired. Done within 1,5 hours. $560 all up. The cheapest place I could find in Sydney. They are only doing tow bars and don't muck around. Looks alright (no bumper cut) and should do ok for my infrequent towing needs. Was reading that Trailboss comes from the HR factory.

Hi guys
I have a 2013 GX with rear park sensors (which were fitted as a factory accessory and don't have a switch on dash to turn them off like the GXL) and am about to get a HR bar fitted. Does any know if the HR wiring loom interfaces with the GX rear park sensors so they don't beep when reversing with a trailer?

I've looked through all the posts I can find and now I'm confused. They all seem to be fairly similar to me.
Are there any major difference in departure angle between the various tow bars?
The Toyota one seems too expensive based on what I was quoted (>$1000) though I don't really care about cutting the bumper. Does it "stick out" a bit more - ie move the tow ball further away from the car? That might be better for us - we've got a Tvan and on Dad's 120 it only just clears the spare tyre.Last edited by peter_mcc; 09-12-2014, 10:00 AM.

It's the same mate. Just check the rating on the longer one and make sure it's the same. I Went and got a longer hitch so I could open my back door with the camper trailer hitched up. Easy as
