Additional Towing Point for Removable Towbar?

Featured Replies

Hello all,

I have a 2016 Scout 2.0TDI 150ps

It has the OEM removable towbar, which I normally keep detached for a bit of extra space at the back for parking, and to stop me smacking my shins into it.

As the towbar is stored in the foam insert that sits in the spare wheel, it’s a pain to get out, as I have the false floor, with roof bars, tools and equipment under the floor, and all my work equipment on top. This means it’s quite the operation to access the spare wheel well.

Annoyingly, having the OEM removable towbar means the crash bar at the rear does not have the screw in point for the towing eye.

I’d like to keep the towing eye accessible, as it’s smaller and not covered in grease, so if I need to pull a vehicle quickly I don’t need to unpack the whole boot.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to retrofit the towing eye screw point, or failing that, if there’s a insert for the OEM towbar hole that would provide the socket for a square tow hitch under the car?
