VN tow bar issues

[timmy_tam]

hey all
didn't find aynthing, so
anyone know a good company in Melbourne who can isntall a tow bar n ball to a VN?
or is it easier to go to a wreaker and get a second hand one and bolt it myself?
i had one once, but it was removed after a rear end accident

any help would be much appreicaited thanks

also would a vn be capable of towing another vn? approx 1800kg vn and car 800 kg car trailer?

The maximum towing capacity of a VN is 2100kg so no it wouldn't do it legally. Any towbar place will do it. I wouldn't recommend a S/H one because you don't know if it has been in an accident. The heavy duty bar should be around the $400 mark fitted.

1800kg vn? 800kg trailer? are you sure? i dont think a vn v6 would tow that much weight, the auto/manual would probably give out me thinks especially if you tow that up steep inclines.

i think the trailer is about 800 kg, can't be sure
but its the car trailer if it helps
good point, i'm guessing the VN woudln't be capable of towing itself :P
cheers guys
