    We can get they euro style towbars here too, I think it’s hall that makes them. When I ordered mine I googled the options. I needed the 50mm hitch though, so the choice was easy.

    Pity I lost the foot swipe opening though.

    Edit 2- nope, foot swipe still works. I was doing it wrong. Dealer said it wouldnt work after the install. God he was wrong

    Edit- my reference to vs euro should’ve been against the initial few months of the (apparent) same Tovar being previously rated at 100kg. Something I assume was just a cut/paste from the euro specs.

    I really don’t get the ‘premium for the people’ Tagline with vw. I like my car, but it and all the loan cars I’ve had in just 1 month have had numerous issues. All with under 3000kms on them! Seems everything is just ‘done’ and a ‘feature/characteristic’...

    May very well be outsourced production, but the compliance plate does say "Volkswagen Part No 5NA 092 136"

    So the ADR rule still applies because years ago the factory towbar for a Landcruier in 95 was 3500kg limit but the vehcle was only 2500kg Toyota refused to up it as the next year they had to the 3500kg

    So I guess whatever VW state in the manual for the car is the true limit
