Tow bar advice needed

[Ginster]

Hi All,
I have a 2017 Auto-Trail Tracker EKS and would like to have a towbar fitted for a single ebike rack. I've spoken to Witter who say they don't make a towbar for the Tracker EKS Does anyone have a towbar fitted on this Moho and if so, what make and where did you get it from. TIA

I can't comment on your paticular van but I read that people often seem to have to ring around 4 or 5 of the bigger towbar specialists before finding what they want.

Have a look at wattling towbar Web site.
No idea of their prices but should give you a better idea.

When I was looking for a new van last year I found Autotrail did not have tow allowance on the Ford chassis.
And the Fiat chassis had a low weight limit which is why I stoped looking autotrail.

Think you might be right, I'm coming up blank on all sides, might have to keep hoiking my fold up into the van!

Look on plate to see if it has any allowance on maximum gross train weight(mgtw)if nothing you cannot legally you.

Try Armitages at pontefract they put me a rear protection bar on with a towball for a bike rack not for towing though very good quality and service

Mike Parkinson in Preston has done many towbars for funsters. Did mine earlier this year, great work and recommended. You just need to send him photos of your chassis and he'll get back to you if he can do it.

Not to be confused with the Jazz and cricket loving Yorkshireman from the telly. He'd tell you to sod off.

Watling fitted one to my AT Scout.It was the first Scout to be fitted with one and they made up a bespoke bracket no trouble

Mine was fitted by TOWTAL.

They were very helpful when I contacted them recently. They even sent me a new ID Plate to replace the 12 year old corroded one, FOC.

Another recommendation from me.

We had a Tracker FB and when we wanted to tow it was not viable to fit the tow bar as it added to much to the GVW leaving very little pay load

Sadly that's what I've found.

Yes we even had it uprated to 3850 but still not enough so we bought an Exsis i 4250 kg now on our second Hymer a B678DL 4500 kg and both tow our car and trailer really well and still plenty of payload
