TOW BAR SPECIALIST RECOMMENDATION PLEASE.

Hi all, as per title we need an Alko tow bar for our Renault Trafic. I was looking at booking a mobile national service but am wary about such companies and the reviews. We are in mid Kent. Many thanks for reading. ST.

Thank you for the replies.

I think you will find that towbars from all manufacturers have to fit the prescribed mounting points on the vehicle so you can consider widening the options.

That is indeed the case, and has been so for many years now. Towbars must, by law, be "type approved" and carry a sticker identifying that fact.
The days of cowboys fitting bits of angle iron they have bodged together are long gone.
