hi everybody , anyone use a frontera for towing ? I have a 2.5 tds and have just bought an alko aks 1300 stabiliser , what i would like to know is will the standard tow hitch be long enough to give sufficient clearance when towing ? reason for asking is that i have just spotted a frontera with what appears to be an extra long hitch. if this is the case , where could i get one ? Thanks !

Clearance when towing won't be a problem if you use the Alko towball. Getting the van hitched & unhitched might be a problem as it might hit the spare wheel cover. I've had to take the handle off my stabiliser.
