Q: I am thinking of buying the above winch and fitting it to the towbar
on my hilux mk6, is this suitable for and do I require any
thing else for this?
A: Yes, you can fit this to your towbar, but you would need the towball mount plate:

The Superwinch Terra winch is more designed for permanent mounting and are more suited to quad bikes as they have a separate block etc. I would of recommended a Warrior C3500A 12v winch instead which has the solenoid mounted on the winch itself and is currently on special offer with free wireless remotes. You get a lot more and it’s a lot less cost, and it’s more suited for a towball mount system.
See this winch here: http://www.electricwinchshop.co.uk/champion-c3500-a-12v-winch.html
You would then need a way of connecting this to the vehicle battery, or use a separate battery near the towball area. Some people take the battery extension cables and the snap connectors found in the ‘electrical’ section of the Electric Winch Shop website, basically so you can just quickly connect to power up to the winch.
