| Best type of fixed towbar 3500kg? |
|
Hello there looking for advice on the best type of fixed towbar. My current towbar is a detachable which is too low for my tri axle trailer.

Just double check that the witter bar with the alko towball is rated at 3500kg. I seem to remember that it was not, but that it might have had something to do with the MTPW. Worth checking if you are thinking about getting one.

Witter bar is rated to tow the maximum permissable tow weight of the car - 3500kg with 150kg nose weight on the bar.
I don't know of any towbars that are EC approved at a lesser tow weight or nose weight than the car is plated to tow....?? 2013 Evoque
