I had a Hayman Reese class IV tow hitch fitted to my 2018 Trailhawk today. I couldn't find any photos of the hitch prior to having it installed so I didn't really know what I was getting, but I'm pretty happy with the final product. The US-spec genuine hitch is definitely neater and maintains better rear clearance, but that's not an option in Australia.
Sadly I lost the rear tow hook, but that's a small trade off for 1,500kg (3,300lb) rated towing capacity. Another search tonight found some photos of the genuine tow hitch sold in Australia, which appears to keep the tow hook (red Trailhawk below). I couldn't find any pictures of this when I ordered my hitch, but I have more trust in ARB than the local dealership anyway, so I'm still glad I went with the Hayman Reese hitch.
Hopefully these pictures might show up in someone else's search one day so they'll know what the different options look like and can make more of an informed decision.
