We have both the OTR rear bumper and the OEM Mahindra pintle hitch. Both haul flawlessly. I'm sure the aftermarket Mahindra rear bumper also works well. Unless you need the vertical adjustability of a receiver hitch, however, the pintle hitch offers a far less expensive option and has thus far proven tough as nails. For vineyard driving on mostly dry ground without a lot of steep terrain you should be just fine with minimal modifications beyond a decent hitch. Locking hubs are convenient add-ons, but as noted elsewhere have nothing to do with towing, per se. For periodic encounters with muddy conditions, it'll rapidly become obvious that the treads on the BFG KO2s quickly fill with dirt and that can feel like a viscous hydroplaning situation. In the spirit of lipstick on a pig, 4WD and lockers are of marginal help to racing slicks. For 95 percent of Roxor use on our mountain farm, the OEM tires are okay, but when things turn prolonged wet in the winter, more aggressive treads would certainly help. This is a main reason why there is a lot of forum discussion about aftermarket tire sizes and treads in combination with gearing devices for those seeking optimal traction/pulling power. -- Lots of solid advice from those folks.
