Extreme Recovery Towbar for Toyota Landcruiser 75 & 79 Series Single/Double Cab by TAG

Will Fit Facelift Model.

The TAG Extreme Recovery Towbar for the 75 and 79 Series Landcruiser, including facelift models, builds two WLL 4500kg load-rated recovery points into the side-arms, giving you somewhere properly engineered to hook a snatch strap or winch line.

The crossbar carries an 89mm x 89mm extreme duty section and is chassis-mounted flush for the best departure angle. On 79 Series models built from August 2012 onwards, the bar itself is engineered for up to 4500kg towing and 450kg ball weight, though the hitch and tow ball supplied as standard are rated to 3500kg/350kg. To use the full 4500kg/450kg capacity you'll need a higher-rated hitch and tow ball (TAG list part UNTTBM450 or a 70mm ball as options), plus any pre-registration modifications your state requires to legally tow at that weight. Earlier 75 and 79 Series models, built before August 2012, use a different chassis and this bar is rated to 3500kg/350kg on those regardless of hitch.

Built in Australia and covered by TAG's limited lifetime warranty, it comes standard with a zinc tow ball, drop hitch, pin and clip, and D-shackles.

Features

  • 89mm x 89mm Extreme Duty Reinforced Crossbar
  • Two WLL 4500kg load-rated recovery points, bevelled for soft shackles, in a 3-piece side-arm design
  • Flush chassis-mounted profile for maximum off-road clearance and departure angle
  • Highly durable, textured Extreme Duty Powder Coated Finish
  • Dual top-mounted Trailer & Anderson Plug Mounts
  • Class 4 Towbar - 50mm Square Hitch Receiver
  • TAG Limited Lifetime Warranty
  • Standard hitch included: zinc tow ball, extreme duty drop hitch (3500kg towing / 350kg ball weight), pin and clip, D-shackles. The Curt Rebellion hitch pictured is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the maximum towing capacity of this towbar?

The towbar itself is rated to 4500kg/450kg ball weight on 79 Series models from August 2012 onwards. The hitch and tow ball supplied as standard are rated to 3500kg/350kg; a higher-rated hitch and tow ball are needed to use the full 4500kg capacity.

Do I need to do anything extra to legally tow 4500kg on my 79 Series?

Yes. Beyond fitting the higher-rated hitch and tow ball, some states require pre-registration modifications before you can legally tow at 4500kg. Check your compliance plate and your state's transport authority for what applies to you.

What's the towing capacity on a pre-2012 75 or 79 Series?

Landcruiser 75 and 79 Series built before August 2012 use a different chassis, and this towbar is rated to 3500kg towing / 350kg ball weight on those models, regardless of hitch upgrade.

What is the WLL rating of the recovery points?

The two integrated recovery points are load-rated to 4500kg WLL.

Is a towbar the same as a recovery point?

No. A standard towbar tongue or hitch receiver isn't engineered for the dynamic forces of a winch or snatch strap recovery. This towbar builds two dedicated WLL 4500kg recovery points into the side-arms for that job.

Does fitting this towbar require cutting or removing the bumper?

No bumper removal and no cutting is required.

How long does fitting take?

Around 120 minutes for a professional fitter.

Is the Curt Rebellion hitch shown in the photos included?

No, that's sold separately. The towbar comes standard with a zinc tow ball, extreme duty drop hitch, pin and clip, and D-shackles.

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.

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.
