 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don’t know what I would’ve done without the help from the team at Tom’s Towbars- had to get a new Car and in order to tow our Caravan we needed a break controller fitted which was impossible to do 1 week before Christmas. They offered a simple solution via a portable Bluetooth break controller rather than trying to find a place that could install us the traditional break controller which is fitted directly to the Car. Not only did this suggestion help us save a lot of money but time and stress as well as we only had a half day left in Perth to figure out what to do. So when arriving at the shop, they checked out everything electrical on our cars back end where the 12 pin plug was, to make sure we would choose the correct product. Once we arrived at our home some 1000 kilometres away it was an easy do it yourself install on the caravan A frame with a simple adapter to make everything work wirelessly- couldn’t be happier and so we are very thankful for Tom and his team to think outside the box and come up with the best no fuss  solution for our dilemma. I wonder why none of the other 30 plus business we called ever thought of making the same suggestion 🤷‍♂️ Credit to Tom and his team for being creative and basically literally saving our holiday at the last second 👏👏👏 Cheers guys and many thanks once again for all your help and efforts 😊 Wishing you all a wonderful new year 🥳 Cheers Jim & Antoniette Naeger You guys rock 🤘

Why do European Vehicles need specialist fitment?

Most European vehicles built in the last decade use a CAN bus electrical system (a smart network that monitors and controls all the vehicle’s electronics). Standard trailer wiring can interfere with this system, triggering warning lights or causing electrical faults if it’s not done correctly.

At Tom’s, we use specialist wiring solutions designed for European vehicles, so your towbar is fitted and wired correctly without affecting your car’s systems.

Class 2 or 4 towbar for European vehicles?

Most European cars, sedans, hatchbacks and small to medium SUVs suit a Class 2 towbar. This covers everyday towing like small trailers, bike racks and light campers.

Larger European SUVs, like a Volkswagen Touareg, Volvo XC90, BMW X5 or Mercedes GLE for example, may be rated for heavier towing and suit a Class 4 towbar up to 3,500kg braked.

Frequently asked questions about towbars for European vehicles

Can you fit a towbar to my BMW / Mercedes / Audi?

Yes. These are some of the most common European vehicles we fit towbars to. We carry towbars suited to a wide range of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi models across both Class 2 and Class 4 ratings.

My European vehicle has rear parking sensors, will a towbar affect them?

Rear parking sensors are common on European vehicles and can be managed as part of the installation. There are wiring solutions that automatically disable the rear sensors when a trailer is connected, avoiding false alerts. We can include this as part of your fitting.

How long does it usually take to install a towbar?

Most installations are completed in a few hours. European vehicles can sometimes take a little longer due to the wiring complexity, but we’ll give you an accurate timeframe when you book.

Do you fit towbars to European electric and hybrid vehicles?

Yes. Many European EVs and hybrids are vehicles we fit towbars to, including Volvo XC40 Recharge, Volkswagen ID.4, Peugeot e-2008 and others.

The only exception is Tesla. See our Electric & Hybrid vehicle page for more detail.
