How to Choose the Right Towbar for Your Vehicle
By Hitched Towbars Team
Understanding Towbar Types
Choosing the right towbar for your vehicle is an important decision that depends on several factors including your vehicle type, towing needs, and personal preferences.
Fixed Flange Towbar
The fixed flange towbar is the most common and cost-effective option. It features a bolt-on towball that remains permanently attached to the vehicle. This type is ideal for regular towers who don't mind the visible towball.
- Most affordable option
- Simple, robust design
- Compatible with most accessories
- Permanently visible when not in use
Detachable Towbar
A detachable towbar offers the best of both worlds. The towball can be easily removed when not in use, maintaining the clean lines of your vehicle. It's perfect for those who tow occasionally and want a neat appearance.
Swan Neck Towbar
The swan neck design features a sleek, curved neck that integrates more seamlessly with the vehicle. It's the preferred choice for many modern vehicles and offers excellent compatibility with stabilisers.
Factors to Consider
When choosing your towbar, consider: your vehicle's towing capacity, what you'll be towing, how often you'll tow, and whether aesthetics matter to you. Our expert team can help you make the right choice.
