What is a Retractable Towbar?

A retractable towbar can be easily folded away under the bumper when it is not in use. Offering the same advantages as a detachable towbar, the simple precision rotation mechanism means that a retractable towbar takes seconds to hide away or prepare for use. This type of towbar can be wired into your vehicle’s electrical system and is operated at the touch of a button. Featuring a 13pin electric socket connector and a breakaway cable attachment point, a retractable towbar can tow trailers, caravans and boats and is also compatible with a majority of cycle carriers. With a swan-shaped neck, the tow ball doesn’t need to be stored separately when folded away, as this too is concealed underneath the bumper.

What are the Benefits of a Retractable Towbar?

When not in use, it can be folded away out of sight in a matter of seconds
Unlike a detachable towbar, you do not have to remove the neck so there is no chance of losing it
It doesn't interfere with parking sensors or restrict access to the boot of your vehicle
It is compatible with AL-KO stabilisers
The towbar and electrics come in one box ready for installation. It is easy to install and doesn't take much longer than other types of towbar

Should I Buy a Retractable Towbar?

There are a few disadvantages to consider if you are thinking about purchasing a retractable towbar. Firstly, it doesn’t have the capability to tow and carry bikes at the same time, unlike a fixed flange towbar. Secondly, it is only available for a limited number of vehicles at the moment, so you’ll need to check if a retractable towbar is an option.

As you might expect, it is also more expensive. But, it beautifully combines functionality and convenience making it the perfect ‘in-between’ option, especially for newer car models.
