Tow Bar fitting

Thinking about getting the quick release tow bar and 13 pin towing electric fitted by Statstone who quoted £880 incl fitting - is this standard across all dealers?

RE: Tow Bar fitting

Yep, that sounds about right Shocked Loads of discussion on here re towbars. The JLR offering is very expensive, looks hideous and results in a massive bumper cut. I fitted my own, cost was a little over £300. There are full instructions on here.

Thanks I mentioned this to the dealer and they dropped the price to £600 fitted for the quick release tow bar and 13 pin electrics.

Got to see the car as well which looked great, just a few weeks to go until I can collect it.

RE: Tow Bar fitting

why do the towbars on the LR website say 'up to 2013 model year'? What changes after MY2013 prevent the fitting of a towbar do you think?

http://www.landrover.com/gb/en/rr/range-...cessories/

actually, on further inspection, it states a different part number for MY2013.....I wonder why?

"Quick Release Tow Bar - Up to 2013 Model Year - Part No: VPLVT0069 / 2013 Model Year Onwards - Part No: VPLVT0100"

Delivered: Evoque 5 door Prestige SD4 Auto 4WD, Orkney Grey, Fixed Panoramic Roof, Ivory Headliner, Vibe Interior, Spare wheel, 20" Chrome Shadow Style 7

RE: Tow Bar fitting

Could LR have taken note of the numerous complaints on here about having to cut the rear valance and done a redesign for 2013MY cars?

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
