    Hi, can anyone confirm that the OEM towbar can only be fitted after the vehicle has clocked 1000km? We bought a 150 today and hoping to take delivery on next Friday. (The vehicle is a floor stock with a September 2011 build, hence we can have it soon rather than later.) However we were told the tow bar can only fitted during the 1000km service. Is this true? I'm new to this forum so please excused my ignorance for not using the search button.
    If you go to Wynnum Towbars don't forget to tell them you got their name from PradoPoint.

    See ya on the tracks, Richo.

      Heading in to Wynnum towbars next week to have one of their towbars fitted finally. He told me that he has had a lot of business from Pradopoint not only in Brisbane but sends towbars all over Australia as they are so popular.

        Got the towbar installed at Wynnum Towbar today. Very pleased. Neat installation, all bumper points reconnected, no bumper cut and fantastic service. They even make me a additional tongue to fit my bike rack. Above all I only pay half of what the dealer quoted.

                  I had a HR fitted. I think they updated it because it has a different model number to the first version. And they dont need to cut the bumper which was a bonus.

                    Got my HR Towbar fitted yesterday.

                    It is a new design and is bolted in the centre & through to chassis rails on each side.

                    Much like the Toyota design however not quite as prominent.

                    No cutting of rear bar.

                    Mine was fitted by HR at their new test lab & manufacturing facility which we recently built for them.

                    Great job.

                    Will post up some photos on the weekend.
                    Cheers

                      What is the rating for the HR? There was some talk earlier in this thread that HR was rating them to 3000kg instead of Toyota's 2500kg.

                        Toyotas are rated to 3000kg too...

                            and it's the same tow bar...

                            having a 3000kg sticker on your tow bar doesn't mean your car can legally pull 3000kg.

                              But having a 2500kg sticker on your car doesn't mean you can legally tow 3000kg either.

                              I see your point though.

                                I spoke to the HR Guy regarding this matter.

                                The towbar is rated at 3000kgs & is the same towbar fitted to the three door Prado's

                                The car (five door) is only rated at 2500 kgs.

                                Three doors are rated at 3000 kgs.

                                Something about gross vehicle mass.
