Can you fit a Hayman Reese X-Bar to your 4×4? Updated for 2024

So we know they are a good thing, but can you actually fit a Hayman Reese X-Bar to your four-wheel drive?

Hayman Reese has released some new X-Bar towbars, for 2024, to suit some of the most popular four-wheel drives on the market.

Towbars have a hard job. They have to lug your heavy caravan or camper trailer around. They are used in off-road recoveries. And they usually are the lowest hanging object on the rear of your four-wheel drive – so get knocked about on technical terrain. 

This is why having a properly engineered towbar is so important. They work bloody hard! How do you know which is the best 4×4 towbar? Well, from what we’ve seen with our own project vehicles, it’s hard to go past the X-Bar from Hayman Reese. They are just made for what we do. 

For a towbar, they come loaded with so many features; such as three in-built recovery points. The X-Bar has also been designed to offer the most ground clearance out of any towbar on the market. The perfect thing for four-wheel drivers. 

What’s the story? 

So we know they are a good thing, but can you actually fit a Hayman Reese X-Bar to your four-wheel drive? We decided to sit down and do some homework for you and list every vehicle on the market that can have a Hayman Reese X-Bar installed on it.
