Frequently asked questions

What is the VPLRT0171 tow bar kit and what does it include?
The VPLRT0171 is a detachable swan neck tow bar kit for the Land Rover Discovery 5. It includes the tow bar and a 13-pin trailer electrics harness. The ball arm detaches when not in use, keeping the rear bumper clean.
Does the VPLRT0171 tow bar come with the bumper finishing trim?
No, the VPLRT0171 doesn't include the rear bumper finishing trim, which is required to complete the fitting and must be ordered separately. Budget for this extra part when fitting the tow bar to your Discovery 5.
How do I confirm the VPLRT0171 fits my Discovery 5?
The VPLRT0171 fits the Land Rover Discovery 5 but is VIN-specific and doesn't cover every build year or market, and it excludes Canada and USA specification vehicles. Check your VIN against the listing before ordering to confirm your vehicle is covered.
Can the tow ball be removed when not towing?
Yes, the VPLRT0171 uses a detachable swan neck design, so the ball arm lifts off when you're not towing. This keeps the rear of the Discovery 5 looking clean when the tow bar isn't in use. The arm reattaches securely when you need to tow.
