Extreme Recovery Towbar & Direct Fit Wiring for Ford Ranger All PX Models (09/2011 - 02/2022), Mazda BT-50 UR/UP Series (09/2011 - 07/2020) - Cab Chassis Only by TAG
This is the broadest-coverage kit in the range, pairing the TAG 4x4 Recovery Towbar with a Direct Fit ECU wiring harness across every PX-generation Ford Ranger and UR/UP-series Mazda BT-50 cab chassis, from September 2011 through to 2022. 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 rather than relying on the tow ball.
The crossbar is an 89mm x 89mm extreme duty section, chassis-mounted flush to protect your departure angle. It's a Class 4 towbar on a 50mm square hitch receiver, and the standard hitch and tow ball bring it to 3500kg towing and 350kg ball weight.
The Direct Fit ECU harness needs no diagnostic coding to install, and reverse sensor and fog light cut-off aren't features this harness controls. Covered by TAG's Limited Lifetime Warranty, and given how safety-critical towbar and wiring fitment is, we recommend professional installation by a qualified auto electrician or towbar fitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not the same thing as the tow ball or hitch tongue on their own. This towbar builds two WLL 4500kg-rated recovery points into the side-arms specifically for that job.
What's included in this kit?
The TAG 4x4 Recovery Towbar, the TAG Direct Fit Wiring Harness, a 7 pin flat socket on the vehicle side, a zinc tow ball, extreme duty drop hitch, pin and clip, and D-shackles.
Does the wiring harness need diagnostic coding?
No. This Direct Fit ECU harness doesn't require diagnostic coding to install.
What towing capacity does this towbar have?
3500kg towing with a 350kg ball weight, as a Class 4 towbar on a 50mm square hitch receiver.
What's the WLL rating of the recovery points?
4500kg WLL across the two integrated recovery points.
What vehicles does this kit suit?
Ford Ranger PX, PX2 and PX3, and Mazda BT-50 UR/UP and earlier B22/B32 series, cab chassis models only. Check the vehicle applications table against your exact variant.
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.
