On the electrical side of things I believe that in more modern cars there is an electrical point (probably behind rear light cluster) which designed specifically for when a towbar is fitter. I know when you look on sites that sell towbars you get electrical kits specifically for certain makes of car with these points. It makes fitting a lot easier.

I fitted ours but it was to 1998 Avensis. Easy peasy really . Well if you are competant that is. DO NOT forget to paint it like I did. I needed the tow bar the next day to bring a trailer back from Cardiff to the midlands so had to take it all off to repaint it later.

New cars can have all sorts of bulb checking sensors and circuits so it might not be so easy to put one on a newer car. Ask Towsure.

If you can afford (amd trust) your local garage, get them to do it. Some mobiles are crooks so if someone here has given you a solid recommendation , consider using it.

hubby did our towbar himself on our VW Touran...tho it was a bit of a job but couldn't bring ourselves to shell out what the garage wanted to fit it!  Bad enough having to shell out for the tow bar...like you the first car we have had which hasnt had one fitted and now after years of tents we've got a fc and actualy NEED a towbar!
