Towbar detachable fitted to t6

[Alan slyde]

Been looking for a detachable towbar fitted to T6 with factory, fitted reverse sensors what is a good price and is there owt to look out for ??

The factory fit detachable tow bar is the Westfalia one.

many places will be able to supply and fit

Here are a few pics of the install carried out on my van by a company in Chertsey.

supplied, fitted and coded to work as factory install, (seamlessly works with factory fitted parking sensors and rear view cam).

Mine (from Towtrust) cost around £600 installed - not cheap but seems to be about right, my car was a similar price for a different supplier.

Just had detachable fitted to ours, gone for the oris as it seems a little tidier than the westfaila, plus the electrics fold up out of the way on the oris (still German made)
We had a westfaila on our Audi A6 and they both seem pretty much the same.

I got a tow trust one installed with full wiring 13 pin for £500. Was very happy and it’s a neat tidy install. I actually prefer it over my vw factory swivel towbar on the Passat.

Thanks all for the help going to do some more ringing around tomorrow

I have the Westfalia on my T6. Nice and neat, great that you can remove the tow hook out of the way/sight.

I am looking into being able to hide the electrical connection, then it would be perfect.

Great product though, had one on each of my last four vehicles.

I went to PFJones who sorted it all - a Westfalia detachable. Was cheaper than my local towbar chappie who couldn’t guarantee all the electrics would be standard

Ultimate Towbars are great towbar fitters and they are mobile too so come to you at work or home to complete the work. You need to be careful who you go to to, a lot of towbar fitters will use universal electrics in order to make it cheaper but these can void your warranty and usually isn't the safest option.

Has anyone had a recent price below £700?

All my local places are £710-£770 for a tow trust detachable towbar with a dedicated wiring harness. That's from when I checked back in July last year

I've got one gripe about the Westfaila one, and that's the lack of anywhere accessible to hook the breakaway cable onto. I don't like looping it round the swan neck as it rubs the paint off.

Both mine have a D loop welded to the main crash bar to connect the breakaway cable.
