Which Towbar?

When chosing the right towbar for your car there are a number of options available.

Fixed Flange

Traditionally used in the UK for all serious forms of towing and generally the most cost effective option. A 50mm towball is bolted to a two or four hole plate that also allows the fitting of a 25mm spacer so that accessories such as a towbar mounted cycle carrier can be used.
