Towbar for a Gladiator
 

Hi all,
Getting a used Gladiator shortly but it does not have a tow bar… Any opinions on the aftermarket towbar eg Hayman Reece, carasel or any other type???

I fitted a Hayman Reese, straight forward install.
Mostly plug and play.

I fitted the Mopar kit. 15 mins for the bar then about an hour for the comprehensive loom.

Hi people new guy here in the same boat.I see there's already a towbar of sorts back there but there's no hitch receiver and not wired ready like the US versions.
Is there a hitch receiver available and wiring loom?
I see confusing versions that state they fit a Gladiator but my towbar looks more like it accepts a differently mounted version maybe a Wrangler, don't know.
I need to tow 2000kg so don't really need the heavy duty towbar if I can get away with it, hoping to save a few $ by using what I already have.Some of the receivers can be had for only $150 so a good saving if it can be done.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Best to get the Mopar kit either from Jeep or Double Black Offroad that includes the hitch and the very comprehensive wiring harness, then its done properly. I picked mine up for $990 and installed myself.

Thanks Big Dave, I found this info while searching, is this the Mopar kit you speak of ? https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/f...rubicon.63922/

If so probably going to be overpriced, I'm waiting on a quote from Jeep and will post for others to consider.
