      • Just got a Hayman Reese towbar fitted on my 150 Altitude in Adelaide. Done by Southern Towbars. An excellent job, and quick and reliable service, even talked me through the electrics afterwards. I had afree loan car also while they carried out the work.
        They installed the new version of the 150 towbar also Model # 02910RW, which I have confirmed with Hayman Reese is the correct one.
        Cost $675 installed including tow bar, tow ball, and wiring.

        See my build up page for picture of before and after shots

        • What's the difference between the earlier HR towbar and the new one released this last couple of months?

            the earlier one only bolts to the rear cross member where as the newer one bolts to the chassis rails and rear cross member (like the toyota bar)

            • Thanks for that. Yeah I think that change happened some months ago, but there's been a more recent change to the HR bill of materials that necessitated a new part number for the 150 bar. What I'm chasing is what changed in the bill of materials? ARB were issued an internal letter late June telling branches of the change and informing staff to sell out all the old part number bars before ordering the new part number bars. Anyone have any idea?

                There has actually been 4 models for the 150, #1 02912RW which was crossmember only which lived for about a month, #2 02640RW which is the same as the 120 bar I have chassis rails and crossmember, #3 02910RW which was LWB only #4 02910RW which fits LWB and SWB

                • Kowolski,

                  ARB received the letter giving the part #T02910RW as the new HR HD towbar to fit, the old one was T02872RW

                    That's funny... I thought HR never made a centre only bar for the 150?

                    • D4D yeah that is my understanding. The latest part number is definitely T02910RW.

                      I'm still curious what the specific changes were on the latest version (T02910RW ) if anyone knows?

                      Also, I know the HR wiring kit addresses disabling the rear park distance system, BUT, does it also talk to the other vehicle computers to let the vehicle stability control system know you are towing a trailer which I understand the genuine Toyota loom does?

                        They didn't it was the 120 bar that happened to fit the 150.

                              As I understand it the previous part number didn't fit SWB. This part number fits SWB & LWB.

                              8 bolts in the crossmember, 2 bolts in each chassis rail, no bumper cut required and sits up higher than the OE bar. Why wouldn't you fit the HR bar

                              • I had the cross member only bar fitted, not by choice but was too late when I picked it up.

                                So question is what's wrong with this type of bar? Has there been a recall and isn't this what you get on the 200 series ie mounted to rear cross member.
