Towbar for your car

Towbars and accessories from Q-Parts24

A towbar is rarely standard equipment on a motor vehicle, unless you own an SUV. However, if you want to tow a trailer in the future, you will need a trailer hitch. The trailer hitch is also an important component for mounting rear bicycle carriers and special luggage baskets, without which a bicycle carrier, for example, could not be used. But we can reassure you: You can easily retrofit a trailer hitch. At Q-Parts24 we offer you a towbar that can be retrofitted for 99 percent of all vehicles. All of the towing hitches that we offer you as a DIY set meet the highest safety standards, are easy to assemble, contain instructions, all the required attachments and a test report.

The diverse world of towbars

With us you will find towbars in three different versions: rigid, detachable and foldable. Every trailer hitch, no matter what version, has the same structure and consists of the ball head of the trailer hitch and a base support, which is often shaped like a kind of metal arch, which is bolted to the body. At Q-Parts24 you will find retrofit kits for exotic vehicles or youngtimers, with which you can tow a trailer or, for example, attach a rear carrier. Please note that you can tow trailers of up to 750 kg with a conventional category B driving licence. With a BE driving license, on the other hand, you can move trailers with a permissible total weight of up to 3,500 kg. When choosing the right retrofit kit for you and your requirements, factors such as nose weight and towing capacity must also be taken into account. The higher the vertical load selected, the more flexible you are when towing different trailers. Car trailers or 2-axle horse trailers in particular require a high vertical load, although there are also differences between the various vehicle manufacturers and how the chassis is designed. If you intend to tow rather heavy trailers in the future, you should choose a rigid, non-detachable variant of the towbar. On the other hand, a detachable towbar is ideal if you want to tow lighter trailers and value an aesthetic appearance of your car without a protruding ball head. Another important point to consider before ordering the DIY towbar is the choice of the electrical kit. We offer you 7-pin and 13-pin electrical kits. The 13-pin variant is more modern, but not always absolutely necessary. You are also very well advised with a 7-pin electrical kit and can tow any conventional trailer, if necessary with an inexpensive adapter. Another point we would like to draw your attention to is the connection of the electrical kit to your vehicle. The trailer or rear carrier has rear lights, brake lights, interior lighting if necessary and much more and therefore needs the power of your vehicle. The easiest way to connect the wiring kit to your vehicle is to opt for a wiring harness that you can connect between your vehicle's rear lights. With some vehicles, however, it is unavoidable to pull the wiring harness under the carpets to the cockpit. Nowadays, this procedure is only necessary in rare cases for retrofitting. Q-Parts24 will be happy to advise you on which towbar is the perfect alternative for you and your car and meets your needs. If your car is already wired, you can also get towbars from us without an electrical kit. Conversely, if the wiring harness in your vehicle is damaged, we can offer you individual wiring kits. The trained consultants at Q-Parts24 are available to answer any questions you may have and will provide you with a wide range of possible solutions.
