Disco 5 Tow Bar

[Tom8]

I am looking at a used disco 5. Not seen it in the flesh but apparently it doesn't have a fitted tow bar. On my disco 4 I had a removable tow bar and electrics were already there. Would that be standard on a disco 5, do I just need to buy a removable tow bar?

As I understand it, if there's not one fitted from the factory, then you have nothing behind the bumper. They have 3 sorts for a disco 5, Retractable, Fixed and removable. They all have armatures that need bolting up behind the bumper and harnesses running in to the car.

Thank you. I spoke to landrover in the end. To fit a fixed tow bar is about 2,300! To fit a deployable one is only a couple of hundred extra and yes they do have to replace panels around the arse end to buffer. I have now got one on reserve and has a deployable tow bar fitted so all good!
