Install Tow bar on VZ Commodore Sedan

[stevenbaus]

Hi, Just wanted to see if I can just purchase a tow bar like this and install myself on vz
I have seen posts on how to do by removing bumper etc but I wanted to make sure I don't need anything else.

I have reverse sensors, I assume when reversing with the trailer on they will just buzz

Note:
Will only be towing trailer with max 2 motorbikes

What you have referred to is NOT a tow bar but a component of a towbar. You need the rest - something like this although it is rated at 1600 kg which won't be a problem for you - probably a better choice: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-...567870?hash=item41a43149fe:g:y70AAOSwqu9VFLqf

I bought a Hayman Reese one and installed it myself. It came with all the bolts and fitting parts, I can email you a copy of the instructions if you like? I bought the 1600kg one, one benefit is the tongue is removable when you don't use it, so you don't hit your shin on it..

With the reversing sensors, there is 2 different wiring looms, it plugs into factory tail light loom same as normal but has a switch so when plug is open (ie) trailer plugged in it disables the reverse sensors
