Tow Bar Types Many Tow Bar Varieties, Their
Benefits, and Drawbacks
There are five different types of tow bars to
start. Flange-ball tow bars and swan-neck tow
bars are the two most prevalent options out of
these. The flange has a faceplate and a bolted
tow ball. Swans, in contrast, have a one-piece
neck with a tow ball attached.
In addition, each of these choices are available
in fixed and detachable forms. Swan neck tow bars
even come with a retractable option.
Another thing to keep in mind is that not every
car can use these different types. Hence, make
sure any options you are considering for your
vehicle will work before you buy them.

Tow bar with Fixed Flange
When it comes to towing, it is one of the most
well-known and affordable choices. With two or
four 24mm bolts, you can fasten the tow ball to
this bar. It can be used with tow ball add-ons
like bumper guards, cycle carriers, etc.
Typically, these are positioned in-between the
ball and the towbar.
5
Advantages

• Able to operate a wide variety of vehicles

• It works with a range of tow balls

• Cycles can be towed and carried simultaneously
  (make sure you confirm the load limit of the tow
  bar and your vehicle).

Disadvantages

• Both the tow bar and the electrics are clearly
  visible

• The price difference can be substantial given the
  variety of tow balls offered

6
Flange Towbar with Detachment
It is one of the newest towbar varieties
currently offered. With two 24mm bolts, you may
fasten the tow ball to this towbar neck. However,
be aware that if you use a lock and key, you can
remove this neck. Both stabilizers and common tow
balls are compatible with this gadget.
7
Advantages

• When not in use, it is concealed and seems more
  attractive than fixed towbars.

• Without the neck, there is a significant
  reduction in the risk of damage

• Most automobiles of all types are compatible with
  this

• The reverse sensor won't work if it's not present

Disadvantages

• This towbar's height cannot be adjusted

• The device has a restricted selection of tow balls

• This item is more costly when compared to a fixed
  towbar

8
Swan Neck Towbar Fixed
In the US, fixed swan-neck towbars are a very
popular option. They don't have as much to show
for their versatility as flange tow bars do,
though. This is due to the towbar's inability to
be used with other accessories. Although there is
a cycle carrier option for this towbar, you
cannot tow while using it.
9
Advantages

• There is a very slim chance that it will activate
  reverse sensors.

• Compatible with a wide range of automobiles

• Have a more understated appearance than fixed
  flange towbars

Disadvantages

• The height of the tow ball cannot be adjusted.

• A little bit more costly than a fixed-flange
  towbar

• Alternative tow balls cannot fit

• With the bumper shield on, it won't fit

10
Detachable Swan Neck Towbar
A fixed swan neck towbar and a detachable swan
neck towbar are nearly identical. In actuality,
this was the first gadget of its kind that could
be detached. It can be used with a bicycle
carrier, even if they're not very common in the
US. You cannot, however, do both at the same time.
11
Advantages

• It looks better than a fixed towbar and is less
  noticeable when not in use.

• The danger of harm can be decreased by removing
  the neck.

• Suitable for the majority of vehicles

• When removed, the reversing sensors won't operate.

Disadvantages

• This towbar height is fixed.

• Alternate tow balls cannot fit

• Compared to a fixed towbar, the cost is much
  higher

12
Swan Neck Retractable Towbar
If you frequently need to use a towbar and care
about the appearance of your car, a retractable
swan-neck towbar is the best option. It can be
turned on with only one hand motion and is quite
convenient. Moreover, retractable towbars don't
require any maintenance.
There is no dirt around the tow ball because it
is always attached to the towbar sleeve, as you
can see. A retractable bar is also one of the
best options for the towing experience because it
combines the advantages of fixed and detachable
devices.
13
Advantages

• It has a far nicer appearance than a fixed towbar
  and is invisible when not in use.

• Reduce the risk of damage as you remove the neck

• It works with a wide variety of automobiles.

• When you take it out, the reverse sensors are not
  activated

Disadvantages

• The towbar height cannot be changed.

• The alternative tow balls cannot be used

• Extremely expensive in comparison to a fixed
  towbar
