Tow-Trust towbars, fitted in Nottingham

Tow-Trust manufactures towbars in Britain and type-approves them to the European standard, which matters more than it sounds: a type-approved towbar is designed and tested for your specific vehicle rather than adapted to fit it. That is what keeps the towing weights in your handbook valid.

What we fit

We fit the full range as part of our towbar fitting service — fixed and swan neck, detachable, and the towing electrics to go with them. Which one suits you depends on the car and on how often you tow: a flange ball takes accessories such as a cycle carrier or a stabiliser, a swan neck is cleaner and often better around parking sensors, and a detachable comes off in seconds when the car is not towing.

Getting it right first time

The towbar is only half the job: the electrics matter too. Every towbar we fit comes with 7-pin electrics, and on many modern cars dedicated towbar electrics are worth the upgrade, £180 including VAT — they talk to the car, so the reversing sensors switch off with a trailer attached and the dashboard tells you about a failed trailer bulb.
