Ditto - except here in Australia that is a $2200 option. The "hitch" (or towbar as we call them here) is rated at 2000kg (4400lb) braked, 750kg (1650lb) unbraked) with a 200kg (440lb) maximum towball weight. The bar is a concealed type with a vertical mounting behind the bumper bar that the 'hitch' mounts up into, fixed with a pin and clip.
