Toyota is confusing owners who tow with ambiguous towbar and Weight Distribution Hitch (WDH) requirements.

For warranty to apply Toyota requires a genuine Toyota towbar for its LandCruiser.

Toyota recommends a WDH when towing caravans and trailers.

Toyota does not make a WDH.

If a non-genuine WDH is used warranty cover can be denied.

Toyota and their dealer network seem to be a bit confused, and are in turn passing that confusement onto owners.

A current thread on CF has been discussing this over the last few days.

Toyota must be as confused as I am as this is in two separate threads.!!!!!!!!!!!
