Towbar for 2010 GXL Diesel 5 door semi auto.

[Brettstar Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Brettstar]

Hey Guys,
We are stretching to buy a new GXL.2010
The dealer wants $900+ for the towbar and we have to cut it.
I found this one on Ebay,

We will need one fitted before too long.
Does anyone know if it will fit the 2010 5 door?
Should i be able to fit it without cutting and drilling?
And will the whole thing upset the departure angle too much?

And any better ideas would be appreciated..

Hi Brett, I had a look at the link and although the rear bar on Ebay appears to bolt directly onto the 120Series Chassis, It does not show nor mention any legal ratings or ADR compliance. You get what you pay for in the end Brett. Be wary! It is cheap for a reason.
If you did decide to purchase it, It seems there wont be any cutting, but again, you get what you pay for.
The departure angle will be reduced as the towbar now resides lower and rearward. If you do this, think about a 2" lift if you haven't already got one.
You can purchase an after market ADR compliant towbar from approx $350 upwards. Good luck
