Detachable Tow Bars

Hi. I need some Tow Bar advice. I intended to fit a Detachable Tow Bar to my 2007 Range Rover Sport 2.7 Diesel but I am hearing that there are concerns about the towing weight rating. I need to occasionally tow 3000kg. Your comments please.

3000kg is within the limits of the vehicle and the tow bar; both are rated to 3500kg. The possible issue is with the detachable tow head that can, in limited circumstances, come loose. If the tow bar is rarely used and is removed in between uses, kept clean and looked after, then you should be fine. Land Rover are contacting owners to offer them a free check and rectification so check with your local dealer if concerned. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Had the recall on mine earlier this week, all fine however they have reduced the permissible nose weight on a detachable bar to 150kg, a supplement is given to add to the hand book for future owners Nanocom Evo
