Agree it looks too high when measured but there's more and more evidence of people towing with the standard setup, "apparently" quite well:Have a Bball and pin from an old defender will just use that. still think it's too high.
Which bits are Grenadier specific? The Vertical Towing Interface bit certainly is, but the 2 hole tow ball looks to be a standard part?Update.
Tow bars are made by Brink in South Africa, model is grenadier specific and designed only for INEOS Grenadier.
I don't have the actual towing regs to hand but I do recall (hopefully correctly!) that the heights you mention there are for cars (and maybe small vans) and there's a separate class for 4x4s.Just had a reply from Brink UK. The do make and supply the towing equipment to Ineos for the Grenadier. towing regs say loaded and hitched up top of ball must be 350mm to 420 mm high.
Mine is 525mm so not even in the ball park!
Well I have a drop plate that will fit and new bolts as well, 4" drop 6 holes, made by RING.I don't have the actual towing regs to hand but I do recall (hopefully correctly!) that the heights you mention there are for cars (and maybe small vans) and there's a separate class for 4x4s.

Taps watch...mumbles something about being promised photos...Plan is tow the van with setup as it is and if it is too high I will fit the plate when I get to wherever we end up at.
This do you?Still want a detachable set up though.
Thanks for sharing the detachable tow ball DCPUTaps watch...mumbles something about being promised photos...
This do you?

+1 for the link pleaseThanks
Thanks for sharing the detachable tow ball DCPU
Have you got a link to where you bought that one by any chance? It looks excellent
Do you know if it is type approved for M1 vehicles as well as using on N1 ?It's a genuine Ineos hitch made by Brink.
Part No.: EI-0000012743 (is it a capital "i" or lowercase "L"?)
D value = 17.2 kN
Vertical load S = 350kg
Picked it up at the agent's this morning.
Post:Just remember, there was someone on here who posted about the hitch receiver having tapered sides ~ anyone remember the post?
Well done DCPU that’s just what I want. l have been chasing my agents for weeks and getting nowhere. Who are yours,I will call them if that’s ok. Can you tell us the price too please. Top postIt's a genuine Ineos hitch made by Brink.

Perfect many thanksI'd be tempted to say yes - but towing, the law, consequences of failure, etc...
I can say that it is type approved with an E label:

which suggests it is?
Can’t find that on line anywhere. Where did you get it?It's a genuine Ineos hitch made by Brink.

Thanks - staring down the bore of the hitch receiver, its a taper of sorts with sections fixed at an angle to the bore to stop anything going straight through and presumably knocking/damaging the chassis rear cross member.Post:
My hitch wouldn't go all the way in so assumed the receiver tapered towards the end.

See above.Can’t find that on line anywhere. Where did you get it?
My understanding is that E11 type approval relates specifically to N1 commercial vehicles (more info here: E11 Approval) and does not cover M1 vehicles which come under a different set of type approval rules.Do you know if it is type approved for M1 vehicles as well as using on N1 ?
