How much for an aftermarket tow bar?

I am looking to buy a seven year old D4 and all of those on sale in my vicinity do not have tow bars. SWMBO insists that if we have to have another of these gas guzzling wastes of money (I think she misses the point) it must be able to pull something.

What cost should I factor into my purchase to get one installed after the event please?

Hi Edwinl,

you didn't make it clear what you want to be towing?

Something light in use and weight you'd be fine with a detachable bar - buy for around the £150 mark (probably a couple for sale right now on here). Electrics anything from £30 to £150 and can be fitted yourself (though coding update required for full experience).

Anything more heavy duty and you'll need a fixed bar which *I think* are more expensive

Hope this helps Thumbs Up

As above - if you want a detachable then they do come up for sale on here:

Fixed tow bars also come up for sale on here:

You may also want to factor in a spare wheel protector (scroates have been known to nick these! Censored ). These can be purchased from Uncle Ray on here:

And then there will be lots and lots and lots of other goodies you'll want to have which will empty your bank/credit card with ease Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

You might find that the electrics have already been enabled - worth checking before you spend any money on getting it done.

if you go down the "detachable" route, there are also anti-theft plates for those … think one was on here recently.

There's also a safety check that needs to be done on the detachables … not 100% sure of details but I'm sure someone will add them here soon.
