Tow bar and assembley - Was it factory fitted?
Did all new Land Rover 110 2.4 Puma Defenders come factory fitted with the plate and tow hitch?

I looked at a used one and it was minus these items and thought it was a bit odd??

There was no sign of tow electrics either. I wondered if it was optional when purchased new?

Thumbs Up

Tow bar has always been optional as far as I know, although very very common!

Some people also remove them after the fact if they have no need for it

When I ordered mine in 2015 it was an optional extra. I also had to specify what electrics I wanted, 12N, 12S or 13 pin Defender 90XS SW

It's always been an optional extra. Cheers

If you ticked this option box, the tow bar would be the very first part that would be bolted on to the naked chassis. Saw it happen during my December 2015 assembly line tour. You can also see it at 5.45 minutes in below movie. Thumbs Up

 You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

When I bought mine I can't remember what they wanted to charge me for a tow bar. Something extortionate I know. Took me all of half an hour to fit. Rolling Eyes
