Hi

Had a disco 4 and towed using a mitchell bros tow hitch and Mchitch auto coupler. Towed a 22' 3.4t ATM van and the set up worked well and was easy to hitch up and no dramas with the lower tail gate.

regards

Bob

I have a D4 and replaced the original hitch with what is called a mitch hitch or as mine is a 4WD industry hitch. LinK:

4wdindustries.com.au/products/tow-hitch-high-rise-land-rover-discovery-3-4-rr-sport-adr-approved-recovery

This hitch sits up behind the bumper bar and in the middle of the bumper bar. With my bigger tyres it does not foul the spare. which the OEM did. I have a D35 coupling and tail gate can drop down. The 4wd industries one looks the same as the Mitch Hitch I(dont confuse this with the Mitch coupler- different caravan coupling) but also comes with a tow tongue, tow ball and shackle bolts, and is cheaper.

If you use the OEM, it works fine, but sits a bit low and can become a bit of a plough when doing exists out of creeks etc. Also if you have bigger tyres than OEM, will foul them.

Hi Keiron,
A couple of pics of my setup for your information;

I like the anti speed camera mod :)

Just a question Richard K, Why is there a sort of "Collar" on the tow ball tongue. Already the Mitch Hitch sits further back than OEM and then I notice yours is at least another 30-40mm further back. My "L" tongue sits right back on the hitch so there is less overhang. I just say this because I am sure our friend Yobarr will make comments about over hang, rear axle weights etc etc. Yours just seems to be a lot further back. It may be because yours is a genuine Mitch hitch and they do not supply the tongue, whereas $WD Industries supplies the whole lot.
