Frequently asked questions about detachable towbars
Yes, vehicle-specific retrofit solutions are available for many vehicles. These are usually fitted by a specialist workshop and connected to the vehicle electronics.
No. The ball head can remain fitted if the towbar is used regularly. However, many drivers remove it in everyday life to preserve the vehicle's appearance.
In principle, yes. The ball head can remain fitted as long as the towbar does not cover the licence plate or lights. However, many drivers remove it when it is not needed.
Modern towbars have European type approval. In many cases, no additional registration is therefore required. However, installation should always be carried out by a specialist workshop.
The only "disadvantage" is that the ball head must be inserted into the towbar mount in order to use it. On the other hand, detachable towbars offer the advantage that the towbar remains almost invisible in everyday life.
