Introducing the Do35 V3Plus No Handbrake 7/8" Tow Pin — a next‑generation tow hitch coupling engineered for serious towing demands. Leaner than the handbrake version, this model delivers the same uncompromising strength and precision, with a design that prioritizes safety, articulation, and effortless maintenance on and off the road.

Why the Do35 V3Plus stands apart

From the ground up, this V3Plus variant blends advanced features with practical usability. The patented Checklock Gen.2 Dust Cap & Bumper creates a secure, dust‑tight seal that resists dirt and corrosion, while the improved bumper molding and reflector strip enhance durability and visibility. A rear‑support webbing enables mounting upside down on the underside of the drawbar, freeing space when the pin isn’t in use.

  • ADR‑compliant locking with a 2‑stage mechanism and automatic secondary lock for dependable security (fully ADR 62/02 compliant).
  • High clearance, low profile bumper and cap reduce snag risk on uneven terrain and tight trailer spaces.
  • Exceptional articulation 360° axial movement with a minimum 70° on other axes for improved handling on off‑road and unmaintained roads.
  • Rugged build — forged yoke and rear nut for added strength, one‑piece lightweight cast housing, and standard Aus bolt pattern for straightforward fitment.
  • 7/8" shaft to fit most standard tow tongues, with no tow ball height restrictions to complicate setup.
  • Superior protection — a corrosion barrier combining Zn‑Ni coating and e‑coat, plus greaseable bushes for quiet, maintenance‑friendly towing.
  • Proven reliability — RAT Run Tested and Proven in real‑world conditions, delivering consistent performance under load.
  • Maintenance friendly — full greaseability ensures easy service and long‑life operation.

Included in the package are the DO35 V3Plus (No Handbrake) Tow Pin, 7/8" shaft tow pin cover, universal C‑spanner, fitment bolts, and a user guide — everything you need for a quick, secure installation.
