Depending on your towing needs and tastes, there are three basic types of towbars, each with pros and cons.
Towbar fixed
A fixed towbar offers a dependable and long-lasting option because it is permanently attached to the car. It is perfect for routine towing, but because it is constantly visible, it might take away from the appearance of your car.
Best for: Most economical option for routine towing (such as trailers and caravans).
Cons: Constantly noticeable; may cause newer cars’ parking sensors to activate.
Detachable towbar
When not in use, detachable towbars may be taken off, giving the vehicle a cleaner appearance. Although it offers more freedom, it can haul just as much as a fixed towbar.
Ideal for: Infrequent towing or situations where you wish to conceal the towbar while not in use.
Drawbacks: Costs a little more than permanent towbars.
Retractable Towbar
When not in use, retractable towbars can fold or retract beneath the car. Although it usually costs more, this is a more convenient option than a removable towbar.
Ideal for: People seeking a handy, high-quality option for sporadic towing.
Cons: Fewer models available, higher price.
