What You Need To Know About Towbar Fitting Costs
Adding a towbar to your vehicle adds such versatility and should be seen as investment in making use of your vehicle and the enjoyment you can get out of it.
Remember that safety should always be of paramount importance, and it is worth spending the money to have your towbar professionally fitted.
There Are A Range Of Different Factors Which Affect The Cost Of Towbar Fitting
The Type of Vehicle You Want The Towbar Fitted To
The first and most significant factor when it comes to the cost of towbar fitting is the type of vehicle you own. Different manufacturers utilise various fixing methods and procedures. The complexity of fitting combined with the various component parts required to complete the job will directly correlate with the fitting cost.
What Type of Towbar Best Suits Your Requirements?
There are primarily two different types of towbars on the market today, fixed (Flange or Swan neck) and detachable. Detachable Tow Bars provide added convenience, but with that convenience comes an additional cost, so this is another factor you need to consider when choosing the type of towbar for your needs.
It is also important to think about what exactly you want the towbar for. If it is purely to tow a trailer, then this will require a specific type of product. Compare this with someone who wants to transport their bikes, then this will need a towbar mounted bike rack.
Electrical Kit
Electrics kits are another critical component in both reliability and cost. There is a range of generic electrical kits available on the market today, and for many car owners, this can be a very tempting option. Generic electrical kits will typically be a much more economical option when compared with a vehicle-specific kit. A vehicle-specific kit has been designed and manufactured specifically for your car and will ensure that your electrics remain working and legally compliant when you are towing a trailer.
However, it is not always true that the more expensive a car, the more expensive the towbar fitting costs. A Land Rover Discovery electrical kit, for instance, can be significantly less costly than the kit for certain over vehicles. In our opinion, a professionally fitted vehicle-specific kit is always the superior option. It will also ensure that your towbar is fitted in compliance with your vehicle manufacturer's instructions and will not affect your car's warranty.
