Just share a little trivia on the Subes made in 85, 86 and their towbars. You read it here.

Found out that towbars are different between L Series sedans and wagons, by enough to not fit between the models. Vortex are a totally different design in the rear arse end where it all bolts in so different towbar again.

I for one am happy nncoolg partially stripped his L RX of bits he needed, coz he didn't need the towbar - won't fit his Vortex. Cheap Grief now sports a genuine part numbered SA 225 towbar finished in charcoal hammertone and was a breeze to fit. Is almost hardly noticeable as it tucks up neatly below the bumper - not interfering with departure angle at all

Brumbies are different again. Fiori with a towbar ??? Nah?

Yeah they seem quite rare. I had a bugger of a time sourcing the towbar for my RX sedan (well, took me a day or two). Left it on the car when it sold to RSR-555.

If looking for a Vortex tow bar, the latest price i got was $120 from the wrecker. If you want PM me and I can pass on his details - not that i want to generate any income for him! Never bought off him in 25 years

G'day Steptoe, young fella.
Any idea of approximate freighted cost of towbar to Upwey, Vic ,3158

PM you sir

Hi guys,
Id like some input on towing/trailering capibilities with a subaru. Ive just had my first week off, and maybe a couple more, in 10 years, spent a few days stripping my ra65 and harnesses etc to get my hilux on the road again with an efi conversion. I use the truck for building materials, fire wood and dump runs. What do you think I could expect after the ej22 is in my 90 wagon? I like the idea of a trailer and 1 less vehicle in the drive.
Steptoe, sorry if I have gotten us off track here.

even brumby towbars cal be slightly different. the one on my ute has two bolts and one on my half a ute, has three. per side that is. 3 bolt one is hayman reese brand. my one, unknown.

you could easily tow a box trailer full of sand or wateva with the L. Please dont go towing car trailers though. I wont tow a subie with a subie anymore, learned my lesson good.

sounds like a story we need to hear. Hope im done with car trailers, 300.00 to get the hilux home when it broke, truck trailer insurance gas and 150 miles.
