2011 G55 Trailer Hitch

Hello!

Anyone have any experience adding a trailer hitch to the 2011 G55?

Found a kit through GWagen Accessories - but it looks pretty in depth for installation.

Anything in particular to look out for? Wiring for trailer lights, etc?

Thanks!!

Does the gwagon accessories kit include some kind of protection/skid plate for the gas tank? Wasn't the reason the factory cars from 2008 to 2011 not rated for towing because the gas tank wasn't protected enough in the event of a rear end collision via/through the hitch receiver?

Built 2008 G55 & one big 80 Series LandCruiser !
my 08' had a Curt hitch that wasn't too badly designed but I'd echo XXarraa's comments on how close it was to the rear tank.....
