I ended up using "towbar city" in south melbourne.... quick easy and not expensive at all. From memory it cost $260.... Mina, it was the wiring that was the tricky part, not the towbar itself...

I just got one on the Kluger. $760 installed. Only Toyota make them, so had to pay a bit of a premium.

Look up 'budget towbars', they came to our house and fitted it and were the cheapest also.
