Tow Bars & Accessories

Tow bars and their accessories are essential components for safely towing a vehicle behind another, typically an RV or larger vehicle. The tow bar itself is a robust metal device that connects the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle, allowing for a secure attachment. Tow bars come in various designs, such as fixed, detachable, or auto-locking, providing flexibility depending on the needs of the user. Tow bars are made to handle the weight of the towed vehicle while maintaining ease of use, and they typically include mounting brackets to attach to the towing vehicle’s frame.


Baseplates are crucial components for connecting the towed vehicle to the tow bar. They are typically custom-fit to specific vehicle models and are installed onto the towed vehicle’s chassis to create a solid point of attachment for the tow bar. In addition to the baseplate, tow bar mounting brackets secure the tow bar to the towing vehicle, ensuring stability and safety during travel.


To ensure safe and legal towing, many drivers use a towed vehicle supplemental braking system, which helps activate the brakes on the towed vehicle. This system provides braking assistance, especially when going downhill or in emergencies, to prevent strain on the towing vehicle’s brakes. A brake controller is often used to manage the braking system, allowing the driver to adjust the braking force on the towed vehicle.


Towed vehicle wiring connects the electrical systems of both vehicles, ensuring that the lights, turn signals, and brake lights on the towed vehicle function in sync with the towing vehicle. Tow bar accessories like safety cables, wiring kits, and lighting kits enhance the towing setup, ensuring both security and compliance with safety regulations. These accessories play an important role in ensuring that the entire towing system operates smoothly and safely, offering peace of mind while on the road.
