4x4 Recovery Towbar for Toyota Prado With Spare Wheel On Tailgate (08/2009 - 06/2024) by TAG
Does Not Fit Models with Flat Tailgate (Spare Underneath).
TAG's Extreme Recovery Towbar for the Prado, August 2009 to June 2024, spare-wheel-on-tailgate models, was the original recovery towbar design for this Prado generation, and at under 34kg it doesn't load up the back of the vehicle the way heavier bars can.
Two WLL 4000kg load-rated recovery points sit in the side-arms, so you've got a proper anchor for a snatch strap or winch line rather than relying on the tow ball. It's rated to 3000kg towing and 300kg ball weight as a Class 4 towbar, with the included hitch matching that rating exactly, no upgrade parts needed.
This towbar only suits Prado models with the spare wheel mounted on the tailgate; if your Prado carries its spare underneath, you'll need part T7T728 instead. Built in Australia and backed by TAG's limited lifetime warranty, fitting takes around 90 minutes with no bumper cutting required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my Prado if the spare wheel is under the vehicle?
No. This towbar is only for Prado models with the spare wheel mounted on the tailgate. For under-body spare wheel models, TAG's part T7T728 is the correct fit.
How much does this towbar weigh?
Under 34kg.
What towing capacity does this towbar have?
3000kg towing capacity with a 300kg ball weight. The standard hitch supplied matches this rating.
What is the WLL rating of the recovery points?
The two integrated recovery points are load-rated to 4000kg WLL.
Is a towbar the same as a recovery point?
No. A standard tow ball or hitch receiver isn't engineered for the dynamic loads of a winch or snatch strap recovery. This towbar builds two WLL 4000kg recovery points into the side-arms for that purpose.
Does fitting this towbar require cutting the bumper?
No. No bumper removal and no cutting is required.
How long does fitting take?
Around 90 minutes for a professional fitter.
What's included in the box?
The towbar, a zinc tow ball, extreme duty drop hitch rated at 3000kg/300kg, pin and clip, and D-shackles.
