How to organise your tow bar fitting.
Tow bar Types
Hitch Receiver towbars
The hitch receiver tow bar incorporates a removable square hitch that is fitted with a quick release pin. These bars are available as light duty units with a 40mm square receiver hole and heavier ratings with a 50mm square hole. Heavy duty hitch receivers are ideal for towing caravans, horse floats, car trailers and larger boats depending on the vehicles towing capabilities. They also allow quick removal of the tow hitch when not in use to save those shins. The square hitch tow bar can also provide a mounting point for a wide range of bike carriers. Please see our bike rack pages for details.
Hidden release (Tongue) towbars
The hidden release tongue bar looks like a conventional standard towbar but it has a hidden release shaft and pin attachment hidden behind the bumper. When the tongue is removed the rest of the tow bar is completely hidden behind the bumper.
