Tow Bar, Towbar, Tow Hitch, and Trailer Hitch Fitments

A tow bar carries real weight, both literally and legally, so getting the right tow bar and tow hitch matters more here than almost anywhere else in Body and Exterior Parts. CBT Auto Parts stocks trailer hitch and car tow bar fitments, sitting alongside Mirrors, Roof Racks, and Trailer Brake Parts.

Every heavy-duty tow bar here is matched to your exact make, model, and rated towing capacity before it ships, so aftermarket never means an underrated or poorly fitting hitch. Load ratings and wiring compatibility are confirmed before dispatch, and most orders leave the warehouse within 24 to 48 hours, ready for your local fitter.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between a flange and a swan neck tow bar?

A flange tow bar uses a removable ball on a flat plate, while a swan neck tow bar has a fixed curved design. Both are rated for towing, with the choice generally coming down to appearance and flexibility.

2. Does a heavier tow bar let me tow more than my vehicle's rated capacity?

No, the vehicle's own manufacturer towing capacity remains the limiting factor regardless of tow bar rating. Always tow within the lower of the two figures.

3. Do I need a separate wiring kit for my tow bar?

In most cases, yes, unless your vehicle already has factory tow prep wiring fitted. A wiring harness connects trailer lights and indicators to your vehicle's electrical system.

4. Can I fit a tow bar myself?

Given the structural mounting and wiring work involved, tow bar fitting is generally recommended to be carried out by a qualified fitter. We supply the matched tow bar for your chosen installer.

5. Do I need trailer brakes as well as a tow bar?

Heavier trailers and caravans generally require electric trailer brakes as a separate system working alongside the tow bar. This is covered on our dedicated Trailer Brake Parts page.
