4x4 Recovery Towbar for Toyota Hilux Styleside N80 & N90 (10/2015 - on) by TAG
The TAG Extreme Recovery Towbar gives your Styleside Hilux (N80 and N90, October 2015 onwards) a genuine recovery point setup, not just a place to hang a caravan ball. Two WLL 4000kg load-rated recovery points sit in the towbar's 3-piece side-arms, with bevelled edges designed for soft shackles, so you have somewhere proper to hook a snatch strap or winch line instead of relying on the tow ball.
Built in Australia for the demands of trade, fleet, and serious off-road use, the crossbar is a 75mm x 75mm extreme duty section, chassis-mounted flush to the underbody to protect your departure angle rather than hang below it. It also carries a Class 4 rating, so it doubles as a full 3500kg/350kg towing setup when you need one.
Fitment is specific to Styleside tub models on the N80/N90 Hilux. Fitting takes around 90 minutes and the factory bumper is removed during installation, with no cutting required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this towbar and a standard tow bar?
This TAG towbar includes two WLL 4000kg load-rated recovery points built into the side-arms, rated for the dynamic loads of a snatch strap or winch recovery. A standard tow ball or hitch receiver isn't rated for that kind of load and shouldn't be used for vehicle recovery.
What towing capacity does this towbar have?
3500kg towing capacity with a 350kg ball weight, as a Class 4 towbar with a 50mm square hitch receiver.
What is a Class 4 towbar?
Class 4 is the heavy-duty towbar classification used in Australia, built around a 50mm square receiver and typically rated up to 3500kg. This towbar is Class 4 rated at 3500kg/350kg.
Does fitting this towbar require cutting the bumper?
No. The factory bumper is removed during fitment but no cutting is required.
How long does fitting take?
Around 90 minutes for a professional fitter.
Can I fit this towbar myself?
Because towbars are safety-critical and fitment varies by vehicle, we recommend professional installation by a qualified fitter.
What's included in the box?
The towbar, a zinc tow ball, extreme duty hitch rated at 3500kg towing / 350kg ball weight, pin and clip, and D-shackles.
Will this fit my Hilux?
This towbar is built for Styleside tub models on the N80 and N90 Hilux from October 2015 onwards. Check the vehicle applications table against your exact model and variant, since cab/chassis configurations vary.
