FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What electrics do I need?
This is all dependant on what you are planning on towing. Please speak to one of the team on 01527 575729 who will be able to advise you further.
My vehicles rear number plate is very low, can I have a Towbar fitted?
You can have a towbar fitted to your vehicle provided there is no chance an item such as a number plate, fog light or reflector will be obscured. If there is a chance that a fixed flange towbar will cover any of these you will need to have a detachable towbar fitted as it is illegal to cover these areas of the vehicle.
Can you use Drop Plates on approved Towbars?
You can NOT fit drop plates to Type Approved towbars as this will invalidate the Type Approval unless the towbar was tested with one. But we do NOT fit them.
The towball is too low. What are my options?
It is often the case that one customers height requirement is different to another depending on what make of caravan or trailer is being towed. In many instances once a customer doesn't achieve the height they require, it is immediately assumed that the it is the towbar that is the problem. It is possible however that there are reasons for the low towing height that are not a towbar related issue. Possible reasons include worn suspension that has lowered with time and modified sports suspension that sits lower than standard. You can check your towbar height via loading your vehicle to its laden position, however if you are still unsure please call the Towbar team on 01527 575729 and they will be able to help.
What is the maximum weight that my car can tow?
You will need to refer to your vehicle handbook to get the maximum towing weight for your particular vehicle, as different models of each vehicle will have different towing capacities.
Will my vehicle need a bumper cut?
Wherever possible the towbars we use are designed without the need for a bumper cut, however this is not always possible. Please speak to one of the Towbar team and they will be able to advise you further. Please call 01527 575729.
My vehicle is fitted with Parking Sensors, do I need a detachable towbar?
In most cases, with factory fitted reverse sensors you can have either a fixed or detachable towbar, however there is no guarantee that a fixed towbar would not interfere with the sensors. If you are unsure if a towbar would affect the operation of your reverse sensors we recommend you install a detachable towbar.
