Given the abundance of types of vehicle on the road, there isn’t one standard tow bar that can be attached to any vehicle to tow any load. The driver must be aware of the fitting on both vehicles, as well as the nature and weight of the vehicle to be towed before choosing the appropriate tow bar. Thanks to its adaptability, the most popular tow bar in the UK is the flanged tow bar. It is one of the most practical options on the market because it can be used with the widest range of accessories and vehicles. However, it is designed to be a semi-permanent fixture on a car, so it is not as easily removed as a detachable tow bar; the latter is more suitable for smaller towing jobs. The flanged option is more suitable for regular towing of loads like caravans or trailers.
