Hate to point this out - but this is WRONG.
ADR62/01 - Please read section 13.2.1.

US rating does not equate to ADR compliance.

Mine came with one from the dealer, I just haggled with the Adventure pack bars to add the towbar too. So I got Rockrails, front & rear steel bumpers and towbar fitted for only a little more than aftermarket price, without affecting warranty and skipping all the mucking around shopping and fitting.

Rang around for quotes for a towbar, supply and fit on Tuesday. Dealer - $730 for Mopar bar, Northern Hayman Reese distributor - $600. Local installer said they had to bring one in from Vic as they don't make them - $530. Southern Hayman Reese distributor had one in stock and fitted it yesterday - $500. I had a Mopar rear bar supplied and fitted by the dealer last week at a grand price too, but still waiting for them to source a compliance kit to relocate the number plate. The HR kit comes with a number plate flap that covers the draw bar when not in use but waiting to see what the OE compliance kit looks like and where it may go before I do anything with it.

in a word.... "yes".

It might be the exact same bar, but if its not ADR stamped and you have a prang, it can lead to big issues for you (no insurance is a good example!)
