Towbar Types
There are several types of towbars for cars, the most common are flange type and swan neck
Both of these towbars for cars are available as fixed or detachable.
Choosing the correct tow bar can be confusing because there are many options.
However, tow bars can be specific to a certain vehicle so your vehicle may have limited options. That said most modern cars can have all of them fitted, then it's down to your own preference.
The most commonly used type of towbars for cars in the UK is the flange tow bar. The flange towbar is the tow bar where the tow ball is bolted to the tow bar with bolts and works as the most versatile design.
It is the most versatile of tow bars because it can be used with tow ball mounted accessories such as cycle carriers, bumper protectors and stabilisers, all mounted between the tow bar & ball.
Flange tow bars are available in both fixed and detachable versions.
