Default Tow hitch

I'm pretty bummed. Totally on me for not checking the tool kit I guess, but there's not one that I can find.

I didn't realize the design required another part. I assumed ya just popped off the cover and the receiver was right there.

Sucks too because I need to transport my mobility scooter.

You guys know where I could pick up a tow hitch inexpensively- or is that crazy talk lol.

Picture for clarity of what I'm missing

look for used one on mktplace or ebay but make sure it is not rusted/frozen. Even used, expect $350-500

There is another solution.

Check out eBay. There is a much less expensive option for about $35. Just search Land Rover LR4 trailer hitch.

It is not as nice and requires you to bolt it on.

Many feel it is not as safe for large trailers but for something like what you want it for it should work no problem.

I’ve had one for years for a very small trailer and it works fine.

I appreciate the response. I actually have one of those style on order. For the difference in cost and my needs I just can't justify OEM.

They seem to have mixed reviews. I'm not hauling a lot of weight so maybe I'll have a great experience too 👏🏼 Glad to hear yours is doing well 👏🏼

Actually, forget the reviews. It works great.
Don’t do as some others do: always take it off when not needed. That way it won’t cease up and also with rust, fuse in place.
My inde taught me, always keep it lubed up.
There is a place to keep it in the cargo bay, left hand side, directly by the rear tail lights.
