Tow hitch

Mike, I took my van for a test tow today (first time behind the ZT and WOW!

). I checked my alko hitch stabilizer and can deffo confirm it has both types of fittings so it will fit your van.

If your gonna fit one yourself, read the instructions fully, as there are two shims that need to be used to drive out your old hitch bolts to keep the hitch damper in place. The shims hold the damper in place so the hitch can be removed, then put the new stabilized hitch on and drive the shims through with the new supplied bolts

Also bare in mind that if you do fit an alko hitch you'll need an alko tow ball fitted to the car as well (the neck is longer than normal ones)
