You have the standard factory option Westfailia 2in receiver so you could either go for the quick detach swan neck style or the adjustable drop plate style.

I would not buy a Westfailia setup. It took me half a morning to remove the 'receiver' female section the other day. Corroded solid. It then took me another few hours to clean it up on the bench and get the Tow bar section to snap in. I will re fit mine but only after a good paint job and ensure 'marine grease is used to lube up the female part. 2010 3.6 TDV8 Vogue |

I have the adjustable drop plate which I keep in the boot. Although I use it regularly and have the Land Rover end cap for the main receiver I still need to wire brush it out every few months when I find corrosion’s stopping the bar being fully inserted! 🤔 |

Be aware that some boxes / racks / cycle carriers will only attach to swan neck balls, whereas others need the old style 2 bolt set up - and there are others that don't seem to care.... |
