What is a Tow Bar?
This is a question we get quite often here at Milner off Road.
A tow bar (tow hitch) is a device you attach to the chassis of your vehicle, allowing you to tow other vehicles, trailers, caravans, horseboxes and so on.
How To Choose The Right Tow Bar For Your Car?
When it comes to buying a towbar for your vehicle, there are many things you need to bear in mind, such as knowing the make, model, year of your vehicle, and your driver’s licence.
You also need to know where the tow points are located on your car (usually found in your cars owners manual). Once you have all this information, you need to know the different types of tow bars available to buy.

My husband and I just bought ourselves a trailer to tow our four wheelers along and we realized that we didn’t have a tow bar for our car. We don’t know what type of tow bar to get or how to look for the one we need. That is good to know that we will have to know the make, model, and year of our vehicle to find the right one! Thank you so much for all the information!
