I'm not sure if this would help in any provable manner. Mine has a tow bar fitted, but I only pull a trailer. Some of us pull trailer Tents, some small caravans and some great big caravans.
It would be hard to pin it down if towing was causing it, as a cracked head can take a while for it to become bad enough for it to be noticed. So saying it happened whilst towing would be a problem to prove.
We would also need to know how often towing took place over a year and the type of terrain covered. Dragging a trailer down m/ways would be easy on the engine compared to dragging a caravan around the Scottish highlands
If posters wish to add if they tow, then feel free to add it to your postings, you never know a pattern might emerge.
