(Preview)
I am looking at carrying a bike on the rear of the van. van is 18.5 ft and at the moment no trouble with the towing, never noticed any swaying, also use a WDH.

Y62 2020 Patrol towbar
(Preview)
There is a lot of information regarding the correct towbar for the latest Nissan Patrol. How ever it is all confusing as to weather I need a WDH or not.Opinion 1Nissan does not recommend the use of WDH on any of their vehicles in AUS. An aftermarket towbar makes no difference.

Caravan covers
(Preview)
