Extreme Recovery Towbar and Direct Fit Wiring Harness for Ford Ranger (06/2022 - 12/2024), Volkswagen Amarok (12/2022 - on) - Styleside Models by TAG

This kit pairs the TAG Extreme Recovery Towbar with an Erich Jaeger CAN-Bus wiring harness, built for Styleside and tub body Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok models with the rear bumper step. Two WLL 4500kg load-rated recovery points sit in the towbar's side-arms, bevelled for soft shackles, giving you a proper anchor for a snatch strap or winch line instead of relying on the tow ball.

Fitting this Styleside towbar involves removing the factory bumper and cutting it to suit, taking around 90 minutes. As a Class 4 towbar it's rated to 3500kg towing and 350kg ball weight with the standard hitch supplied. The harness connects via a 7 pin flat plug; coding is optional and only needed if you want automatic rear parking sensor deactivation.

Covered by TAG's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Given how safety-critical and vehicle-specific towbar and wiring fitment is, we recommend professional installation by a qualified auto electrician or towbar fitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this towbar's wiring harness affect my reverse sensors?

Coding is optional and only needed if you want automatic rear parking sensor deactivation. Without coding, the harness still works, the sensors just aren't automatically cut off when reversing with a trailer attached.

Is this towbar a recovery point?

Not the same as the tow ball or hitch tongue alone. This kit builds two WLL 4500kg-rated recovery points into the side-arms for that job.

Does fitting this towbar require cutting the bumper?

Yes. On the Styleside fitment, the factory bumper is removed and cut during installation.

What's included in this kit?

The TXR843 Extreme Recovery Towbar, a CAN-Bus wiring harness with a 7 pin flat plug, a zinc tow ball, extreme duty drop hitch, pin and clip, and D-shackles.

What towing capacity does this towbar have?

3500kg towing with a 350kg ball weight, Class 4 on a 50mm square hitch receiver.

How long does fitting take?

Around 90 minutes for a professional fitter, given the bumper cutting involved.

Can I fit this towbar and wiring harness myself?

Because towbar and wiring fitment are safety-critical and vehicle-specific, we recommend professional installation by a qualified auto electrician or towbar fitter.

Disclaimer: This is an aftermarket product manufactured by TAG Manufacturing Pty Ltd. It is not a Ford or Volkswagen Genuine part and is not endorsed, approved, or manufactured by Ford Motor Company or Volkswagen AG.

Why Shop With Us

Why Shop at 4x4 Down Under?

We know that you have a lot of options out there, and we’re incredibly grateful that you’re considering spending your hard earned money with us. We like to think we stand out from the crowd in a few ways.

Excellent & Honest Service

We try and provide the best pre and after sales service possible. If you have a question we’re here to help, and if we don’t know the answer we’ll tell you and then do our absolute best to find the answer for you. We’re also here to guide you to the best possible outcome for you. A lot of stores will simply try to up-sell you on the most expensive option. That’s not how we operate. We want to build a relationship with our customers, and the only way to do that is by being honest and direct.

4x4 Down Under is built on honesty and integrity. For example when you make a purchase with us we only charge your account once we confirm the product is ready for dispatch. Although we like to guarantee everything on our store is available we’re not perfect and mistakes do happen. If something turns out to not be available we’ll let you know immediately and you have the option to cancel your order or wait for more stock to arrive. Should you not want to wait the order is voided, and there’s no waiting a week to get your money back (it’s instant!).

Aussie and Proud!

We're Australians, and we like to support our fellow Australians, which is why all our products are sourced locally from the official Australian distributors. Nothing is imported directly and we don't stock any grey imports. This also means that all manufacturer warranties are fully honored by the brands themselves.

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.

Fast Shipping with Insurance!

We've partnered with some of Australia's best couriers and freight agents to ensure your purchase reaches you in super-quick time. Once your order has been dispatched you'll receive tracking information which will allow you to track your order online every step of the way.
