I noticed in the detailed spec Australia RRP price list that the factory supplied towbar features a Class 3 1-7/8" NAS hitch. Not sure if this is a UK centric sizing but, if so, then this could be an issue for those in Australia. 1-7/8" is 47mm. In Australia a Class 3 hitch is nominally 40x40mm and Class 4 hitch is nominally 50x50mm (what everyone calls 2"). Checking Hayman Reece drawings the OD sizing of the square towbar fitting that slides into the hitch is actually 50.8mm (2"). The issue here is that the standard Class 4 fittings that most everyone uses in Australia may not fit the supplied tow hitch from Ineos. Might only be 4mm but could prove to be interference fit (no go). Obviously this needs to be confirmed with Ineos but it would be pretty ordinary to fork out $740 for this option if it were not compatible with Australian fittings that most of us will have already, or will need to swap with others as is required from time to time.
Probably also need to check details of the associated electrics.
Hopefully this is something that Ineos Australia sorts out and is a local fit but might be an issue if factory fit.
Be pleased to hear from any gurus out there who may have been through this situation on other UK marques.
