I was looking for a step for the rear of my 4x4 to help load the roof and came across this. Replaces your tow ball hitch and can also be used for recovery which I thought was neat.
There are a whole lot of other goodies on sale throughout the site.

Only if it has a standard 2" receiver (the square hole the towbar section slides into). If it was a factory option towbar, I don't think your car will have that.
I would not use the hitch for recovery. Find a chassis tow point.
Don't think tow points are rated to 4.75t there lad.
Not that I don't use mine for snatch off at the front though
"I would not use the hitch for recovery. Find a chassis tow point." - This is bad advice.

Thanks, I was thinking of the tow ball recovery, which is a nono per your link.
@timtam-slam Generally speaking, I'm with you where high energy is required. Depends on the tow bar and how it's fitted, and the recovery situation (weights, conditions, desperation - stuck on a beach with a rising tide lol, etc). The recovery device may be rated but is your towbar and its bolts?
A fixed hitch like this is inferior to a block recovery hitch with a rated shackle which allows lateral movement. Alternatively simply putting the hitch pin through your tow rope/strap inside the receiver would be a better option.
Can I install this on my Skoda?
