The Hyundai Santa Fe is a versatile and stylish SUV, known for its robust performance, spacious interior, and advanced technology. For those who require towing capabilities, the Hyundai Santa Fe detachable towbar provides a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution.

This towbar offers the flexibility to tow when needed, while maintaining the vehicle’s sleek design by being easily detachable when not in use.

Hyundai Santa Fe Detachable Towbars

A detachable towbar is designed to provide towing capabilities while maintaining the visual appeal of your vehicle. The Hyundai Santa Fe detachable towbar allows you to effortlessly attach and detach it, ensuring you only have it in place when needed. Whether you're towing a trailer, caravan, or bike rack, a detachable towbar is the ideal choice for maintaining both style and functionality.

Key Features of the Hyundai Santa Fe Detachable Towbar:

Streamlined Design: One of the main advantages of a detachable towbar is its ability to be removed when not in use. This helps to preserve the clean, refined look of the Santa Fe, ensuring the rear of the vehicle remains free of bulky towing hardware. The towbar fits neatly into the vehicle's design, offering a seamless appearance when attached and keeping the vehicle's aesthetic intact when removed.
Easy Installation and Removal: The Hyundai Santa Fe detachable towbar is designed to be user-friendly. It can be quickly and easily attached or removed without the need for specialized tools. The towbar locks securely into place when attached, offering peace of mind during towing, and can be just as easily removed when not in use, allowing for a hassle-free experience.
Towing Capacity: The Santa Fe, when equipped with the detachable towbar, is capable of towing significant loads. Depending on the model and engine choice, the Hyundai Santa Fe can tow up to 2,000 kg (approximately 4,409 lbs). This makes it ideal for towing caravans, trailers, boats, or any other heavy equipment that requires strong towing power.
Improved Driving Experience: When not in use, the removal of the towbar reduces drag and minimizes any impact on fuel efficiency, ensuring that the Santa Fe maintains its smooth driving dynamics. The added flexibility of only using the towbar when necessary makes it easier to enjoy the vehicle's full performance capabilities without any added weight or bulk.
Versatility: The detachable towbar gives the Santa Fe owner the versatility to tow when required, but without the permanent fixture. Whether you're going on a road trip, need to tow a trailer for a project, or require a bike rack for an outdoor adventure, the detachable towbar provides the functionality needed for occasional towing while keeping the vehicle's appearance intact.
Safety and Security: Hyundai ensures that the detachable towbar is engineered to meet high safety standards, providing a secure connection for towing. The towbar typically comes with a wiring kit that ensures proper electrical connections for trailer lights and other necessary functions, ensuring both safety and compliance with legal towing regulations.
Durability: Built with high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, the Hyundai Santa Fe detachable towbar is designed to endure the elements and the stresses of regular towing. Whether you're towing on smooth highways or bumpy roads, the towbar is designed to handle the demands of the task while maintaining durability and functionality.

Benefits of the Hyundai Santa Fe Detachable Towbar:

Aesthetic Appeal: The detachable towbar ensures that the vehicle’s rear remains clean and visually appealing when the towbar is not in use, preserving the Santa Fe's sleek and stylish look.
Convenience: The easy-to-remove design allows owners to enjoy a towing solution without the hassle of a permanent fixture. It’s perfect for those who only need towing capacity occasionally.
Increased Maneuverability: When the towbar is detached, the vehicle’s rear is free of bulk, improving parking and maneuvering, especially in tight spaces.
Enhanced Towing Stability: The detachable towbar provides the necessary strength for secure towing, improving stability and reducing sway during transport.
Cost-Effective: The detachable towbar is an efficient and cost-effective solution for those who don’t require a towbar all the time. It provides the best of both worlds — performance when needed and a clean appearance when not.

The Hyundai Santa Fe detachable towbar is an ideal solution for owners who need towing capability without sacrificing their vehicle's refined look.

With easy installation and removal, impressive towing capacity, and a design that keeps your vehicle’s aesthetic intact, this towbar offers the perfect combination of practicality and style.

Whether for occasional towing or carrying outdoor gear, the detachable towbar provides the versatility and convenience that enhance the Santa Fe’s already impressive functionality.

Electrics

Manufacturers are developing more environmentally friendly and efficient vehicles. To keep up with the times, we offer many options to make sure you, as the customer, choose the right products at the right price. There are many things to consider when you select the type of electrics, and we are confident that we can guide you to the correct option that suits your vehicle.

Which socket type should I choose?

7 Pin Electrics

Single 7 Pin Electrics are fitted as default with a towbar installation. They provide power to operate the lights (indicators, brake lights, sidelights, fog lights) on a standard UK trailer, caravan, horsebox or cycle carrier. The 7 Pin socket will not activate the reverse lights on a cycle carrier or trailer; however, this is not a legal requirement. If your trailer has reverse lights or ALKO-ATC Control fitted, you may need 13 pin electrics.

Even if you are only using your towbar to support a cycle carrier, you will still need these electrics to power the lights on the cycle carrier or a light board over the bikes. This is a legal requirement because bikes on the carrier may obscure the lights on your car.

Twin Electrics

Twin Electrics (12S) Electrics are fitted in addition to the standard Single 7 Pin Socket if you will be towing a caravan built pre-2008 with two power cables.

The 12S socket provides power for:

-Your caravan reverse lights.

-A permanent 12-volt live feed to your caravan.

-Live feeds to your caravan that are only live when your car engine is running to provide charge to your caravan battery, charge your fridge as well as give power to your interior lights.

-The twin electrics were a standard fitment until 2008, when the 13-pin socket replaced it.

13 Pin Electrics

13 Pin Electrics are fitted when you tow a caravan built from 2008 onwards. The 13 Pin socket combines the old style twin seven-pin sockets into one. The socket provides all the power needed to operate the road lights on your trailer or caravan and provides 12-volt power to operate all the other functions of your caravan.

You can use a trailer or cycle carrier with a 7-pin plug, but you would need an adaptor available in our Accessories section. The 13-pin socket is a neater fitment compared to the twin electrics, as the socket will usually fold under the bumper when you are not towing, making it discreet and a neat fit.

Which wiring should I choose?

Universal Aftermarket Wiring

Universal Aftermarket Wiring is fitted to your vehicle using an interface relay to protect your cars electrics. This type of wiring is available for most models where the vehicle is out of its warranty and does not have built-in safety features that must be activated. The universal wiring is connected to a 7-way bypass relay that protects the Canbus system, which won't cause any faults on the dash as the car doesn't detect the towbar system. If your vehicle is still within its manufacturer's warranty, we would recommend the fitment of Vehicle Specific Wiring.

Vehicle Specific Wiring

Each kit is designed specifically for the vehicle it is fitted to. Rather than soldering or using 'Scotch Locks' to connect the towbar wiring, which is the case with universal aftermarket wiring, these kits interface with the vehicle systems in the same way as the vehicle manufacturer intended. If your vehicle is less than three years old or is still within its manufacturer's warranty, you would need vehicle specific wiring to protect that warranty. Other towing functions such as Trailer Stability Control (available on your car) could be activated when vehicle specific wiring is fitted. This is vehicle dependant as towing functions vary from car to car.

What is coding, and does my car need it?

At Towbar Express, our expert team can advise you based on your vehicle’s make, model, and year. We supply and fit vehicle-specific wiring kits and if coding is required, we’ll carry it out as part of the installation, no need to visit a dealership.

For more information on coding for your vehicle, please contact us directly.

Towbar Warranty

Towbars that we supply have a manufacturers lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects. This guarantee covers the fixed parts of the towbar assembly, and not moving parts such as detachable necks, or other accessories.

Towbar Neck Warranty

The neck section of the towbar has a 12 month warranty. It is very rare that these necks have a fault. Most of the time when there is a fault it's usually that the neck wasn't released from the car properly last time it was used. It simply needs to be reset, and you can view a video guide here.

Electrics Warranty

Once your towbar and electrics have been fitted, we offer a 12-month guarantee on the installation of your towbar, electrics and other parts that are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Any electric faults that appear during the 12-month period that has been reported to us, will be fixed completely free of charge. If the fault isn't to do with the towbar fitment then you may be charged a call out fee, however this will be discussed at the time of booking.

Vehicle Warranty

Dependant on the make and model of your vehicle, the manufacturer may have offered a 3 year warranty at purchase or you may have taken an extended warranty to cover the electrics of your vehicle. If this is the case, then we recommend you choose the dedicated wiring loom. If you choose to have the universal electrics fitted to your vehicle then its possible you may lose your manufactures warranty. If you are unsure which wiring type to choose then please click here for more information.

Cycle Carrier Warranty

The Thule Cycle Carriers have a 5 years warranty. If you do have any issues then please get in touch so we can contact Thule as they will need to see the cycle carrier and determine the fault and then either fix the issue or replace the carrier. The decision is final from Thule.

For more detailed information about warranties please click here.

All of our warranties do not cover faults or damage caused by improper use or wear and tear from normal use.

You should be careful not to overload your towbar, as this is the most common cause of damage. You can check the maximum towing weight for your car here.
