I'm sure of you don't tow 3 ton boat or trailer through the bush then a simple, adapter/drop plate bolting on where your pinlte hook is and then have holes where you can bolt a normal trailer hitch /hook will work. I've towed a small trailer and a car on trailer on various times using it without issues.

You need the black part , not the silver part


Check with Bosal whether it is the adaptor as above or a proper towbar that bolts to your chassis rails - which in my opinion is overkill for a small trailer. I might have a full towbar in my garage. , you might need to make you own plates with welded nuts to to fit in the chassis rails but that is a simple 2 times 40*3 flat bar with 3 holes and nuts welded onto it. I'll check tonight ,reasonable offer and it's yours

Like andries said dont go pull around 3 ton boats or big caravans and you will be fine with that one :thumbup:

Just a note, with a lifted suspension you will find that a normal trailer will be very low in the back, so check speedbumps. I've added a drop plate to mine without issues

I have the same bosal towbar and use it to tow about a 1 ton Desert wolf Leo camping trailer and it works perfectly.

That Bosal will work for 99% of the towing you'll be doing. Go to steellite in the south of JHB and have them build you one while you wait at lower the cost than the Bosal one.
