Frequently asked questions

What is the Military Tow Hitch Drop Plate (LR126) used for?

The Military Tow Hitch Drop Plate (LR126) bolts to the rear crossmember and provides a lowered mounting face for a NATO-pattern tow hitch, setting the coupling at the correct height for military trailers. It fits Land Rover Series 2 and 3 and Defender models from 1983 to 2006.

Where does the drop plate mount on the vehicle?

The drop plate mounts to the rear crossmember. The NATO-pattern tow hitch and its securing fixings then bolt to the plate, which positions the coupling lower than a standard towing bracket. It forms part of the rear towing assembly on Series 2/3 and Defender models.

Is there an alternative part number for the LR126 drop plate?

Yes, the LR126 drop plate is also cross-referenced under part number TH024. Both refer to the same military tow hitch drop plate for the rear crossmember. Quote either code when confirming the correct part for your Series 2/3 or Defender.

How do I confirm this drop plate fits my vehicle?

The LR126 drop plate fits Land Rover Series 2 and 3 and Defender models built between 1983 and 2006. Because military towing setups vary, check your rear crossmember bolt pattern and hitch type before ordering. Using your VIN to confirm the variant is the surest way.
