Harwoods, Portsmouth. They were very helpful.Which dealer was this out of interest? So far I'm getting a firm no from the ones I speak to.

Interestingly, I had mine in for a warranty issue fix and they said the module for towing was installed and couldn't see why the OEM towing electrics couldn't be installed. When changing the module it caused the TSA to disable, which surely shouldn't exist on a model which hasn't had to programmed at the factory (I'm guessing here).Harwoods, Portsmouth.

I was told it's approx £4000 from my dealer, is that about right, seems a bit steep??Harwoods, Portsmouth. They were very helpful.
Very, I'm sure if spec'ed at build it was a circa £650 optionI was told it's approx £4000 from my dealer, is that about right, seems a bit steep??
I asked my dealer here and they said the factory hitch would be about $3000 to install. They also quoted their own aftermarket hitch install @ $884 as a better option. I decided to order a new hitch from CAtuned - cost me $305, including shipping - which should be here Friday. I'll have to deal with the wiring harness later. So it seems like the factory option is ridiculous, by a lot, after the fact!I was told it's approx £4000 from my dealer, is that about right, seems a bit steep??
Just remember that CATuned's hitch isn't rated for towing...I asked my dealer here and they said the factory hitch would be about $3000 to install.

What makes you say that? The website states it's for towing. It doesn't look any different from other hitches I've had in the past. I don't really do much so I'm certainly no expert. I only need the capability to tow a light duty trailer (dump runs, etc.) and it appears to be adequate for that application. Is there something I'm missing?Just remember that CATuned's hitch isn't rated for towing...
edit: Also the bulk of the "OEM" implementation after the fact is the cost of the TRM (the towing module that interfaces with all the other electronics on the vehicle) and the wiring

Thanks. I can see where this hitch appears to be more robust. What is the thickness of the steel?I can accommodate you with hitch and bolts. 375.00 plus freight and tax
