Longer tow bar tongues?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I've bought a bike rack and aimed to mount it on the towbar of my rav4 but the spare tire and bumper gets in the way.. Impossible to mount unless I keep the rear door open...

Does anyone have experience and / advice as to where I can buy a cheap extension for it?

Pics are in my thread.

Hey Scott... Nothing is listed on the super cheap site. Might be worth a phonecall but I'm not optimistic they super cheap or autobarn have this sorta gear. There are specialty places like coldy's or carasel in wentworthville (sydney) that I'd have to go to in order to have something custom fabricated to suit.

just looked at your pics, its a flat tounge, looks like a aftermarket towbar too. Yeah your best bet is to go to a towbar place. Last time I bought a towbar tounge it was about $50. With your wiring plug just convert your car plug to 7 pin flat. 90% of trailers are flat plug now anyway, and cheaper than buying a adapter. Easy to wire too, will have instructions on the packet.

50 isn't too dear.. Then again I've seen 2nd hand tongues on trading post that may do the trick but I'd only know for sure if I had it on hand to measure it up with my rav4.

Will be awesome to finally mount on the rowboat so I can take the kids out biking! (and teach the Mrs. How to ride..)
