I would be interested in something lower profile like that. Out of curiosity, is the crossmember it is bolted to solid or would the hitch slide in further? I haven’t removed the cover yet.
The hitch will bottom out - not much insertion length with the stock hitch.
So will the blinkers and brake lights still work if you plug it in? Its just the ABS wont be activated (adapted for additional load)? That would probably be ok for pulling a little dump run trailer or a jet ski, just not a huge boat….pretty sure the receiving plus is right under the rear seat….thoughts?
Any photos of what you did by chance? I just want to pull a light trailer, nothing crazy. I just need my blinkers/brake lights to work so i dont get pulled over. ABS adjustment really isnt a major concern in my particular circumstance….
Sorry I dont have any photos , it was a fairly big job to run the cables for the brake controler and wire it up , but if you only want lights ect as I do for my trailer and other small stuff ( the brake controler is used for only for my caravan and camper ) I purchased an adaptor to suit 13 pin euro to 7 pin Aussie conector . We have a few different types of conectors but all have standard wiring system so that aftermarket adaptors are readily available . not sure if that is your case . If no adaptors are available wiring diagrams for the 13 pin euro plugs and sockets on the internet , you would need topurchase a 13 pin plug and make and wire up an adaptor to suit your exixting plug . Euro plugs are available on ebay here as well as all of the other ones used in Oz
In that case I would be having a whinge to my dealer . Secondly I would check that the tow electrics harness is not tucked up under the rear bumper , You would have to remove the bash plate and loosen the heat shield to find it if it is there , it would be about 100mm to the RH side of the tow bar as you look at it . If it is you would have to carefully check which wire is which as IG do not use the standard colour codes there could possible a live wire amongst them .
Did you install this? Success?Just got a response from Ineos. Trailer Hitch received will be available shortly. Mine is actually on order. And they should have a solution for wiring as well in the following weeks/months. Not great but hey it’s better than nothing. For now my plan is this, I will install the Hitch and use the tekonsha trailer wiring kit. No cutting, no splicing.

I am interested in buying one. What do you need and how best to get in touch. Thanks.
I paid less than $325 for the actual ineos Receiver. But given material and welding time I’m not sure it can be done any cheaper
Fair point, scale during manufacturing is a huge way to drive down cost. Setup and initial scrap are hard to amortize when you're only making a few articles.
Love the design. How do I get one?
We're making a handful more of them. I'll reach out when they are ready (should be in the next week or so).
I just ordered an original at the dealer. Got it in a week.
