What types of vehicles do you fit towbars to?
Almost anything. We fit towbars to most passenger vehicles, 4WDs, SUVs, utes, electric and hybrid cars as well as light trucks and commercial/fleet vehicles.
If you’re unsure whether we can cover your make and model, get in touch and we’ll let you know!
What's the difference between a class 4 and class 2 towbar?
Class 2 is rated to 1,200kg braked and suits lighter vehicles including sedans, hatchbacks and small SUVs towing trailers, bikes, jet skis or small campers.
Class 4 covers 1,400kg up to 3,500kg and is the right choice for 4WDs, large SUVs and utes towing caravans, boats or horse floats.
Not sure? Let us know what type of vehicle you have, and what you need to tow and we can provide guidance on safe, secure towing anywhere in Australia.
Do you fit the wiring and electrics as well?
Can you fit a towbar to my electric/EV or hybrid car?
Yes. We fit towbars to all major EV and hybrid makes including Polestar, BYD, MG, Kia, Hyundai IONIQ, and Toyota hybrids.
Currently, the only EV we do not support is Tesla.
How long does it usually take to install a towbar?
Are Tom's towbars covered by any warranty?
Will an aftermarket towbar void my car's warranty?
This is probably the most common concern people have, and it’s more nuanced than dealers often let on.
Under Australian Consumer Law, a manufacturer or dealer cannot void your vehicle warranty simply because you’ve had an aftermarket accessory fitted by an independent workshop. They would need to demonstrate that the accessory or its installation actually caused the fault being claimed – and a properly installed, ADR-compliant towbar is very unlikely to do that.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has been clear on this. If a dealer tells you that fitting an aftermarket towbar will void your warranty, it’s worth asking them to put that in writing – because in most cases, they can’t back that claim up.
