I am having difficulty finding a tow bar fitter for a new 2015 Santa Fe .Looked at the Witter website and it said a towbar was 'under development' !
As anyone got any knowledge/experience on this?

Always one to watch when a new model is released, if the floorpan the same layout as the old one, if not a brand new design needs to be drawn up.

Then they need to check the complete model range for different bumpers or bodykits.

Is it the 2015 onwards model?

This is upto 2015.. Brink towbar ebay


Blimey, been a while since i searched for towbars on ebay an Italian seller has 7 accounts and about 90% of the listings are his.

Vagies listings, models upto 2009 yet claims it also fits the new model. I wouldnt trust that.

My current Santa Fe is a 2011 model and tows / handles fine.

Hi, I got a santa fe auto last March I don't know if the latest facelift has changed anything. I had a tow trust removable fitted by a local co via the main dealer. It seems a good bar and very sturdy. It did start to squeak after a few thousand miles, I gave it a good looking at and decided that it was caused by the crossmember just touching the chassis and so took the car back to the dealers. They fixed it in about half an hour. They said it was the clearance between the bar and the chassis so I was happy that their conclusion was the same as mine. No trouble since. I am very pleased with the car and caravan combo, theres plenty of power and its dead easy to drive, this is my first auto, I just wish I had gone auto sooner.
