Towbars come in a variety of shapes and sizes, dependent on the vehicle they are attached to. Towbars are mounted onto the rear of the vehicle, bolted to the chassis or frame of the vehicle. It is usually affixed to the undercarriage, because this is the strongest part of the vehicle body and can resist the forces generated when the vehicle tows a heavy trailer. Any road-legal trailer or caravan within the tow vehicle’s permitted maximum towing-weight rating can be hitched to it. Lifestyle vehicles such as bakkies and SUVs are particularly popular to tow caravans and trailers on long journeys, but you need a trustworthy towbar at a sensible price to ensure that your vehicle can safely tow whatever you hitch to it.
Electronic Fitment Centre offers
towbar installations at fair prices. We also offer other fitment accessories such as roll bars, nudge bars, and sidesteps for your vehicle. These accessories are designed for lifestyle and working vehicles such as bakkies and SUVs. A quality towbar should be rated to perform perfectly towing a weight in excess of your vehicle’s maximum tow rating to allow for an ample margin of safety. All the fittings and electrical plugs should be of SABS-approved standard.
Safety is critical when it comes to towing. With tall trailers and caravans blocking the rear view of the driver, it is basically impossible to know what is truly going on behind the towing combination. It already demands all your wits and concentration to tow a large caravan or trailer safely, so the last thing you want to worry about is the quality and integrity of your towbar. The towbar is the only link between the vehicle that is pulling the trailer and the trailer itself and it has to withstand all the towing forces, both lateral and vertical, that are exerted by the drawbar of the towed vehicle. It must be sturdy enough to handle these forces without failing for years of family holidays.
In some cases, a few of the bakkies and SUVs that are particularly popular as towing vehicles will have their own towbars fitted as a standard feature at the factory, but if yours doesn’t, you will find our prices are very competitive. We also offer a wide selection of other useful accessories and upgrades for vehicles of all types and sizes – not just towbars.
