Choosing the perfect towbar for your needs
At Bristol Towbars & Vehicle Extras LTD, we understand that selecting the right towbar is crucial. Explore our range of towbar types and discover which one best suits your vehicle and towing requirements. We're here to help you make an informed decision for safe and efficient towing.
Our towbar types
We offer a variety of towbar types, each designed to meet specific towing needs and vehicle requirements. Our expert team at Bristol Towbars & Vehicle Extras LTD can guide you through the options to find your ideal solution.
Detachable towbars
These towbars offer the flexibility to remove the towball when not in use, preserving the aesthetic of your vehicle. Ideal for those who tow occasionally and want a discreet look. Perfect for caravans, bike racks, and small trailers.
Fixed flange towbars
A robust and versatile option, fixed flange towbars allow for multiple accessories to be bolted to the towball. Best suited for commercial vehicles, heavy-duty towing, and those who regularly use various towing accessories like bumper protectors or cycle carriers.
Fixed swan neck towbars
Similar to detachable swan necks in appearance, these are permanently fixed to your vehicle. They offer a cleaner look than flange towbars and are often chosen for modern vehicles, compatible with AL-KO stabilisers. Great for caravanners and boat owners.
More than just a towbar
Choosing a towbar involves more than just the type. Consider your vehicle's towing capacity, the type of electrics required (7-pin, 13-pin, or vehicle-specific), and any parking sensor compatibility. Our team at Bristol Towbars & Vehicle Extras LTD is here to help you navigate these important considerations for a perfect fit.
Beyond the towbar type
When selecting your towbar, it's essential to consider your vehicle's specific towing capacity, the electrical requirements for your trailer or caravan (7-pin for older trailers, 13-pin for modern caravans, or vehicle-specific kits for advanced vehicle systems), and how the towbar might interact with your parking sensors. Our experts at Bristol Towbars & Vehicle Extras LTD can advise on all these factors.
