    That there is a heavy duty towbar I do believe. If the rest of the towbar looks exactly the same as yours, then it should fit. If anything looks different at all, then probably not I love the work that has been done to cut the bumper around the towbar lip ^^ rofl

    you shouldnt have any probs as all toe ball fittings basically are the same size, so it should fit fine

    The shaft itself is the same size but you will need to get one that has the correct angle. Because the Commodore towbar angles upwards, a tongue from a 4wd or about 90% of the other cars out there won't fit. The part where the ball is will be the wrong angle.
