Extreme Recovery Towbar & Direct Fit Wiring for Toyota Landcruiser 75/79 Series by TAG

The 75 and 79 Series Landcruiser is a workhorse, and this TAG Extreme Recovery (XR) kit is built for it rather than adapted to it. It suits single and double cab models, including the face lifted versions, and pairs a Class 4, 50mm square hitch receiver with a direct fit wiring harness in a single kit.

As supplied, the kit is rated to 3500kg towing and 350kg ball weight. Owners of a 79 Series built from 2012 on can step this up to the vehicle's full 4500kg/450kg towing capacity by fitting a higher-rated hitch and tow ball (such as a 70mm tow ball), though narrow nose 75 and 79 Series models are limited to 3500kg/350kg regardless of hitch, due to chassis differences.

Two WLL 4500kg load-rated recovery points are built into the 89mm x 89mm reinforced crossbar, shaped with bevelled edges to suit soft shackles, so the same mounting point handles both trailer towing and off-road recovery duty.

Fitment: Suits Toyota Landcruiser 75/79 Series, single and double cab (including facelift models).

Please note: 79 Series 2012 on: to reach the full 4500kg/450kg towing capacity, a higher rated hitch and tow ball (for example a 70mm tow ball) is required, and additional pre-registration modifications may be needed to legally tow 4500kg. Check your vehicle owner's manual. Narrow nose 75 and 79 Series models are rated to 3500kg/350kg only, due to chassis differences.

Frequently Asked Questions

What towing capacity does this towbar have on a 79 Series?

As supplied, this kit is rated to 3500kg towing and 350kg ball weight. On a 79 Series built from 2012 on, fitting a higher-rated hitch and tow ball (such as a 70mm tow ball) can bring this up to the vehicle's full 4500kg/450kg towing capacity, though narrow nose 75 and 79 Series models are limited to 3500kg/350kg regardless, due to chassis differences.

Do I need any extra parts to tow 4500kg on my 79 Series?

Yes. The kit as supplied is rated to 3500kg/350kg. Reaching 4500kg/450kg on an eligible 79 Series requires a higher-rated hitch and tow ball, purchased separately, and may require additional pre-registration modifications to legally tow that weight. Check your vehicle owner's manual and check with your state's transport authority for compliance requirements in your area.

Does this kit fit the face lifted 75/79 Series?

Yes, this kit is designed to fit the face lifted 75 and 79 Series models as well as earlier single and double cab versions.

Can the recovery points be used for snatch recovery?

The two recovery points are load rated to 4500kg WLL and shaped with bevelled edges to suit soft shackles, intended for use with rated recovery accessories. Inspect the points before use and keep any recovery load within their rated capacity, using correctly rated recovery gear.

How long does fitting take?

Fitting time is around 120 minutes (roughly two hours), covering the towbar mounting and the direct fit wiring harness. We recommend fitting by a qualified installer or auto electrician.

Is the wiring harness included, or bought separately?

Wiring is included. The kit comes with a TAG direct fit wiring harness and a 7 pin flat vehicle-side socket.

Will fitting this towbar void my Landcruiser's warranty?

Fitting a correctly installed aftermarket towbar does not automatically void your vehicle's factory warranty in Australia, but this can vary by manufacturer and dealership. Check with Toyota or your dealer about your specific vehicle if you're unsure.

Do I need to tell my insurer I've fitted a towbar?

Many insurers ask you to declare aftermarket modifications, including towbars, as they can affect your vehicle's listed specifications. Check directly with your insurance provider to confirm their requirements.

No Sales Gimmicks 

When you shop at 4x4 Down Under you don’t have to worry about:
  • Annoying and dishonest ’Sales Timers’ that simply reset every few hours and are there to coerce you into buying.
  • Dishonest “low stock” labels, another coercive sales gimmick.
  • False “John just bought a…” alerts. Our customer alerts (bottom left) are 100% true and we're proud of them.
  • Being bombarded by trust badges and labels everywhere you look that mean nothing. 
  • We don't spam! Your information is safe with us. It will never be shared or sold, or used to fill your inbox with garbage.
