Extreme Recovery Towbar & Direct Fit Wiring for Toyota Prado 150 Series (08/2009 - 06/2024) by TAG
Before fitting this kit to a 150 Series Prado, check where the spare wheel lives. This TAG Extreme Recovery (XR) towbar is built for Prados with the spare wheel mounted on the tailgate, and will not fit a Prado with the spare wheel under the vehicle. If that's your setup, TAG's T7T728 is the correct part instead.
For tailgate-spare Prados, this kit pairs a Class 4, 50mm square hitch receiver rated to 3000kg towing and 300kg ball weight with a direct fit ECU wiring harness, so the electrical and mechanical sides of the job are covered in one purchase. Two WLL 4000kg load-rated recovery points are built into the reinforced crossbar with bevelled edges shaped for a soft shackle.
At 34.66kg, it adds very little weight to the back of the vehicle, and fitting takes around 90 minutes in a workshop.
Fitment: Fits Toyota Prado 150 Series with spare wheel on tailgate, August 2009 to June 2024. Not compatible with spare-wheel-under-vehicle models (use T7T728 instead).
Please note: This towbar will not fit a Prado with the spare wheel mounted under the vehicle. If your Prado has an under-vehicle spare, TAG's T7T728 is the correct fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this towbar fit a Prado with the spare wheel under the vehicle?
No. This towbar is designed for Prados with the spare wheel on the tailgate and will not fit a Prado with an under-vehicle spare. TAG's T7T728 is the correct kit for that configuration.
What is the towing capacity of this towbar?
This towbar is rated to 3000kg towing capacity and 300kg ball weight when used with the included extreme duty drop hitch and tow ball.
How much does it cost to have a towbar fitted to a Prado?
Fitting cost varies by installer and region, since it depends on labour rates and whether any extra work (such as sensor relocation) is needed. This kit has an estimated fitting time of around 90 minutes, which gives a rough basis for quoting labour with your installer.
How long does it take to fit a towbar to a Prado?
Fitting time for this kit is around 90 minutes, covering the towbar mounting and the direct fit ECU wiring harness. We recommend fitting by a qualified installer or auto electrician.
Can the recovery points be used for snatch recovery?
The two recovery points are load rated to 4000kg WLL and shaped with bevelled edges to suit soft shackles, intended for use with correctly rated recovery accessories. Inspect the points before use and keep the load within their rated capacity.
Is the wiring harness included, or bought separately?
Wiring is included. The kit comes with a TAG direct fit ECU wiring harness and a 7 pin flat vehicle-side socket.
Will fitting this towbar void my Prado'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.
