Default MD Tow Bar - Wagon

Anyone had a tow bar fitted to their MD wagon?

Either dealer fit or aftermarket - I'm interested to see pics and thoughts.

Thanks

I have had one fitted - dealer genuine.

It's the box hitch type and it sticks out quite far when the tongue/ball is attached so I leave the hitch out unless towing. I'll take some pics when I can.

The interesting thing is the pin that goes in through the hitch that holds in in place has a spring and a screw in it. I have never come across one like that before. It is probably better and means the hitch doesn't move around as much and make noise/rattles, but sometimes it can be a pain to get out if it has misaligned itself slightly while towing.
