Hi All,
Not everyone's favourite performance mod, but here we go anyhow Someone might find this useful.
I need a discrete hidden towbar for a bike rack and not to haul around caravans, horse floats or B-doubles or other big damn heavy things that probably shouldn't be there anyhow. It needs it to be hard to see when I'm not using it since a 24x7 towbar on the MPS just will look wrong.
After a bit of digging around:
- These are hard to find.
- Towbars for other single exhaust models BL's won't fit.
- The Mazda factory MPS towbar requires you pull off the bumpers and fit a new retaining bar that includes the towbar. Not a big deal but prefer to avoid it messing around doing that and also the fat Mazda pricetag.
- The US Hidden Hitch 60259 looks to be the neatest solution.
- The 60259 is rated as Class 1 hitch for bike racks, cargo racks only and nothing too heavy.
There is one of Ebay that can be had for about AUD$270 delivered which is cheaper than just about all other's I've looked for locally. Ebay's global shopping promo shipping is pretty sharp for the racks weight and size compared to other options.
One left now.
