I got quoted $625 for a removable hitch type towbar 50mmx50mm from Parkside Towbars in WA and $840 for a Hayman Reese 40mmx40mm from Auto Extra. Both use the genuine Toyota wiring loom. Ended up going with one from Parkside
I am hoping that you can help me as you have a 50mm x 50mm removable hitch. I am very interested in buying a 2008 model Toyota Aurion Prodigy. I believe it has all the safety, environmental and economy features for which I am looking.
At present I have a 1998 Holden Berlina and two a 16 foot caravan (Crusader Monarch) 1100kg, ball weight about 150kgs. When I bought the van I was told I needed a Haymann Reece 50mm x 50mm Weight Distribution Hitch, which I obtained. I also since have fitted a Hayman Reece Friction Sway Control Bar - which is absolutely excellent.
The problem is that I am being told by Haymann Reece and fitters of tow bars that I can't have a Haymann Reece 50mm x 50mm Weight Distribution Hitch fitted to an Aurion! Why not!! Nobody has been really able to tell me!! I believe such a hitch is extremely important in distributing the weight evenly over the four wheels of the car - particularly in the case of a front wheel drive car! What is your experience?
