 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 🤘

What's included in standard class 2 towbar installation at Tom's Towbars

When you bring your vehicle to Tom’s, we will supply and fit a quality Class 2 towbar suited to your vehicle’s tow rating, provide your tow ball, all mounting hardware and brackets, and the 7-pin flat plug (standard for most light towing), properly wired to your vehicle’s electrical system.

You may also need

Depending on what you’re towing, Tom’s can also provide fitment of Anderson plugs (essential if you’re charging batteries in a caravan or camper).

We can also supply and install your bike carrier or rack – and advise what’s compatible with your vehicle.

Frequently asked questions about class 2 towbars

Do I need a towbar just for a bike rack?

Yes. Most bike carriers require a towbar to be fitted, even if you’re not towing a trailer. A Class 2 towbar is perfectly suited for this and is one of the most common reasons people come to us. You don’t need trailer wiring for a bike carrier, just the bar and tow ball.

Can I tow a camper trailer with a class 2 towbar?

It depends on the camper. Lighter soft-floor campers may come in under 1,200kg and suit Class 2 perfectly. Heavier off-road campers (particularly hard floors with a lot of gear) can push close to or above the Class 2 limit.

Check your camper’s ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass) and compare it to your vehicle’s rated tow capacity. We can help you work it out if you’re not sure.

Will a class 2 towbar affect my car's boot or rear sensors?

Most modern Class 2 towbars are designed to integrate neatly with the vehicle’s rear. If your car has rear parking sensors, there are wiring solutions that will disable them automatically when a trailer is connected — we can include this as part of the installation.

How long does a class 2 towbar installation take?

Generally a couple of hours. If you’re also having wiring fitted it may take a little longer. We’ll give you a clear timeframe when you book.

What's the tongue weight on a class 2 towbar?

Tongue weight (also called ball load) varies by towbar model and vehicle, but is typically in the range of 100–120kg for a Class 2 bar. This is the maximum downward force allowed on the tow ball. We’ll always confirm the correct spec for your vehicle at the time of fitment.

Can I tow with my car?

Possibly – most small to medium SUVs have a manufacturer-approved tow rating and are perfectly suitable for Class 2 towing.

Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Subaru Forester and similar models are all common Class 2 fitments for us.
