03544R — Hayman Reese Universal Welded Truck Towbar (2800kg)

Designed for easier compliance

This updated welded truck bar uses straight side arms that mount to the side of the vehicle chassis, making it easier to comply with body builder guidelines and removing the need for drilling into the vehicle chassis lower flanges by design intent. Side plates are intentionally supplied with only one pre-drilled hole, allowing installers to match the towbar mounting bolts (supplied) to existing chassis hole patterns (minimum hole/bolt spacing applies—refer to the fitting instructions).

Built for real work

As a welded towbar assembly, the 03544R is engineered for commercial towing demands and everyday use—ideal for light trucks that tow regularly and operate in tougher conditions.

Universal fitment approach for light trucks

The Universal Truck Bar platform is made to suit a broad range of light truck chassis configurations, with installer-friendly adjustment to align with factory holes where possible. Always confirm vehicle towing limits and fitment requirements before purchase and installation.

Convenient hook-up and chain access

An integrated dropper / safety chain connection point improves D-shackle positioning, helping keep chain hook-up more accessible—especially when you’re working around rear steps, trays, or tight clearances.

FAQs:

Is this the Modular Class 5 towbar?

No—this is the new welded Universal Truck Bar range. It’s separate from Modular Class 5 tow bars which do not require welding during fitment.

Will it fit my specific light truck?

It’s designed as a universal truck solution, but fitment depends on chassis style, body/tray setup, and available mounting points. Confirm with the application guide and installation instructions before ordering.

Does it require drilling into the chassis?

The side plates are supplied with one pre-drilled hole so installers can align to existing chassis holes where possible (minimum spacing rules apply). Note that existing vehicle chassis holes may need to be drilled out to suit the mounting bolts supplied.

What do I need for a complete towing setup?

You’ll typically need an appropriate hitch insert/mount, towball or coupling setup, rated shackle/chain hardware, and trailer wiring—matched to your towing requirements and local regulations.

Where do I find the bolt spacing rules and installation guidance?

Refer to the official Hayman Reese installation instructions supplied with the product for minimum hole/bolt spacing and compliancing guidance.
