Thanks The Swanndri Guy, this is an Irish version and no that is an aftermarket hitch, i think dromone make them, ive had them on a couple of 4000s now as they are a good alternative to the original hitch which to my eyes was a disaster, hard to unlock, bendy bottom plate, no way of changing the hook, lifting arms to prone to breakage, on top of that FAR too low to the ground because of the massive bulking plate the drawbar slid into !!!!!
