Towtrust Vertical Detachable Towbar For Mercedes Benz GL X164 SUV 2006 To 2013

Company Profile
Tow-Trust Towbars Ltd are one of the UK's largest manufacturers of towbars and towing accessories. Based in Atherstone, Warwickshire the company has set about forging a strong reputation amongst the trade for supplying the highest quality products. From commercial and non-commercial towbars to an expanding range of trade accessories, Tow-Trust are confident we have the right towing solution for you.

Here at Tow-Trust we have deliberately chosen to site ourselves at the premium end of the market, and this means sourcing the best quality steel and using the latest technology for design and manufacturing processes. This enables us to produce products that our nationwide stockists recommend without hesitation. The Tow-Trust promise from start to finish is simple, 'absolute quality'.

In today's competitive market, every brand and manufacturer seem to make the claim for the quality of their product, yet we constantly hear headlines of how companies are trying to cut costs in order to cheapen the manufacturing process of their products. Cheaper manufacturing costs may lead to cheaply made products, a concept Tow-Trust have challenged through heavy investment in our production process. The whole Tow-Trust operation, from initial computer aided design right through to our high-grade packaging of each towbar, exhibits a remarkable attention to detail.

You may be forgiven for now expecting that this makes our products expensive, however our dedicated sales team constantly monitor our prices to ensure we are competitively priced against all alternative manufacturers. Although our products may not be the cheapest on the market we firmly believe they offer true 'value for money'. We think anyone would agree that you cannot be the cheapest and the best at the same time, and for that very reason we have decided to become the best. After all, ask yourself the question: with a safety critical component such as a towbar would you really want to rely on using the cheapest product?

Tow-Trust have been a quiet success in the towing industry for over 20 years and until relatively recently, it is fair to say that most people who require use of a towbar may only know of a few brands. However, in today's modern world the internet has meant motorists have better access than ever before to new products and possibilities. It is time therefore for the towing industries previous best kept secret to now reap the rewards of years of hard work.

From commercial fleets to the private motorist who drives to the tip once a month, the demands of a towbar are relatively simple: that it is safe, fits well, looks good, and does the job it was intended for. Despite not seeming like a lot to ask, without the proper attention to detail and passion for the product it can be surprisingly difficult to find a towbar that ticks all the boxes and we believe this is where Tow-Trust comes in. In today's market where money is tight and competition is high, it turns out that quality is still a word that means something and with such dedication to producing quality, why would you trust anyone else ....

Vertical detachable swan neck towbar
The majority of Tow-Trust's detachable swan neck towbars are 'vertical' (VK) systems making them fully hidden behind the bumper once the detachable neck is removed. All our VK towbars incorporate a fold away electrical plate enabling the towbar electrics to fold behind the bumper when not in use. Key features of the vertical detachable system are;

Suitable for vehicles with reversing sensors
In most instances this system is completely invisible once the neck is removed and therefore preserves the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle
Alko compatible
Allows free access to the rear of the vehicle
Lockable with a set of two keys provided
Storage bag provided for safe keeping once neck is removed

Tow-Trust offer one of the largest ranges of 'swan neck' detachable towbars.  This system offers a removable solution for customers looking to combine a towing facility with maintaining the appearance of their vehicle.

The majority of our 'swan neck' detachable range are 'vertical' (VK) systems which in most cases are invisible kits that are fully hidden behind the bumper once the detachable neck is removed. Most VK detachable towbars come complete with a single fold away electrical socket plate which enables the towbar electrics to be moved up behind the bumper when not in use. For security purposes, all detachable necks are lockable and come with a set of keys to ensure peace of mind when the vehicle is left with the neck in place. A storage bag is also supplied once the neck is removed for safe keeping.

It is our aim to manufacture all detachables in the VK format due to their neat appearance when the neck is not attached. Unfortunately due to the design of some vehicles, it is not possible for a VK to be designed and fitted. This is usually due to insufficient space behind the bumper for the housing of the neck and the socket plate to be located. In this rare instance we still try to offer a detachable option by designing a 'horizontal' (HK) system. Whilst not being completely invisible this still offers a removable, lockable neck solution that enables customers all the benefits of a detachable system apart from it not being invisible.

The key features of a Tow-Trust detachable system are as follows:

• Invisible*
• Easy to use
• Detachable towball
• Retractable electric sockets
• Aesthetically pleasing solution for executive vehicles
• Increased security (Lockable neck)
• Full VCA / RDW approval
• Minimal maintenance
• Alko compatible
• Will not affect the reverse sensors once neck is removed

* Please note visibility of towbar and electrics is wholly dependent on vehicle make & model
