Frequently asked questions

What is the NATO Pintle Tow Hitch (NRC2051)?
The NATO pintle is a rotating military-pattern towing hook that mounts through the rear crossmember on the Defender (1983-2006) and Series II, IIA and III. It rotates to allow articulation between the vehicle and a trailer or towed load, suited to military-style (FV) towing rather than standard caravan couplings.
Where does the NATO pintle hitch mount on the vehicle?
The NATO pintle mounts directly through the rear crossmember using a bolt-through fixing on the Defender and Series models. The rotating hook suits military FV-style trailers and articulating loads, so the crossmember must be sound since the pintle carries the full towing load.
Does this NATO pintle fit all Defenders?
This NATO pintle fits the Defender from 1983 to 2006 and the Series II, IIA and III, where the rear crossmember accepts the military-pattern bolt pattern. Later Defenders use a different rear crossmember and towing setup, so confirm your crossmember before ordering.
