Description

On a Swan Neck towbar, the towball is part of the neck of the towbar.

A swan neck towbar can look tidier on the vehicle because it is more compact and is less likely to set any reverse parking sensors off. We can not guarantee this as it is dependant on the bumper shape and location of the parking sensors. We would recommend the Detachable Swan Neck Towbar if your vehicle has parking sensors.

Tidy and compact
Compatible with ALKO Stabilisers
Fits most clamp-on Cycle Carriers
If your vehicle has parking sensors, it is likely the fixed swan neck Towbar will trigger the parking sensors. We would recommend a Detachable Towbar instead

The Hyundai Tucson is, first and foremost, a family car; its versatile interior and vast 620-litre boot allow everyone to make the most of each journey. Sophisticated and experimental the Tucson was designed to be revolutionary. The modern aesthetics, chiselled surfaces, and dynamic lines allow for a cutting-edge SUV design. The new bigger and wider body, dynamic proportions and sharp angles create a refined look without compromising the much-loved rugged Tucson heritage.

When stepping into the Hyundai Tucson's sophisticated and spacious interior allows the driver to relax and enjoy the space; technology and information intersect harmoniously. The Tucson provides the driver with the ultimate level of comfort from all angles; the increased roominess means everyone onboard can enjoy a comfortable ride every time.

The Hyundai Tucson is equipped with the HYTRAC All-Wheel Drive System; no matter the weather, terrain or driving position, the innovative HTRAC All-Wheel Drive System provides optimal handling and cornering abilities. The multi-link front and rear suspension ensure a greater driving composure by using intelligent driving modes suited to preferred personal driving preferences and changing road conditions. The adaptable system ensures that the plentiful power is transferred to the road even during difficult, slippery conditions and acceleration and advances braking performance for driver security and comfort. The All-new platform uses high-strength steel and advanced construction to achieve high rigidity.

The Hyundai Tucson is equipped with best-in-class advanced driver-assistance systems and a comprehensive active safety package; it delivers even more safety and peace of mind for everyone every time they step foot in the car. From Highway Drive Assist to Blind Spot View Monitor, the driver can relax knowing that the Tucson ensures their safety is a top priority.

The Blind Spot View Monitor allows the driver to see the rear left and right-hand side views of the Tucson on the screen located in the digital cluster. The cameras are activated whenever the indicator is in use during lane changes. The Navigation-Based Smart-Cruise Control focuses on more safety and less stress; the system maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead and adjusts speed in anticipation of upcoming turns and junctions.

Some other safety features that can be expected in the Hyundai Tucson are; Lane Following Assist, Enhances Safety with 7 Airbags, High Beam Assist, Remote Smart Park Assist, Forward Collision-avoidance Assist and Highway Drive Assist.

What's my Towing Capacity?

The Hyundai Tucson has a towing capacity of between 1350KG to 1650KG, depending on the model. This weight will allow the driver to tow anything from a small trailer to a medium-sized caravan. Please refer to the vehicle's VIN plate to receive an accurate towing capacity for your Hyundai Tucson.

Which Towbar is best for my Hyundai Tucson?

There are three different styles of towbars available for the Hyundai Tucson, the fixed swan neck towbar, the fixed flange towbar, and the detachable swan neck towbar.

The fixed swan neck towbar is the other fixed style of Towbar; this is attached to the vehicle's chassis. The design is the main difference between the fixed swan neck towbar and the flange style towbar. The fixed swan neck towbar is much neater and slimmer, making it the perfect candidate when your Tucson is fitted with rear parking sensors. The fixed swan neck towbar is compatible with all clamp-on cycle carriers, trailers and caravans. The fixed swan neck towbar is ALKO compatible, meaning there is no requirement for an ALKO towball when towing with an ALKO stabiliser.

Will it need a bumper cut?

When fitting any of the three towbars to the Hyundai Tucson, the bumper will be removed during fitment; however, this will be refitted at the end of the towbar installation. No bumper cut is required for the standard bumper design; however, if the vehicle has been modified or upgraded, this may differ. Please always contact our sales team with any installation questions you may have.

Electrics

As manufacturers develop more efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles, the electrics behind a towbar have become more varied too. We offer a range of options to make sure you get the right product at the right price, and there's a fair bit to consider when choosing your setup. Here's our guide to help you understand what's fitted and why.

Which socket type do we fit?

13 Pin Electrics

We fit 13-pin electrics as standard with every towbar installation. The 13-pin socket combines the functions of the older 7-pin and twin (12S) systems into one connector, providing everything needed to operate the road lights on your trailer or caravan - indicators, brake lights, sidelights, fog lights and reverse lights - plus 12-volt power for your caravan's other functions, such as charging its battery and powering the fridge and interior lights while you're driving.

It's also a neater fitment than the older systems, usually folding away under the bumper when you're not towing.

If you're towing a trailer, caravan or cycle carrier that uses an older 7-pin plug, you can still use it with a 13-pin towbar via an adaptor, available in our Accessories section.

A Note on 7-Pin and Twin (12S) Electrics

We no longer fit single 7-pin or twin (12S) electrics - these were the standard fitments before the 13-pin socket took over in 2008, and 13-pin now covers everything they did and more. If your existing trailer, caravan or cycle carrier only has a 7-pin plug, an adaptor lets you connect it to our 13-pin towbars without any loss of function for lighting.

Which wiring do we fit?

Vehicle Specific Wiring

We only fit vehicle-specific wiring - not universal aftermarket wiring or bypass relays. Each kit is designed specifically for the vehicle it's fitted to, interfacing with your car's onboard computer system exactly as the manufacturer intended, rather than soldering or using scotch locks to tap into the wiring. This keeps your manufacturer's warranty intact, whatever the age of your vehicle, and properly integrates the towbar with your car's systems rather than working around them.

It can also activate other towing functions your car may have, such as Trailer Stability Control, where fitted - this varies from car to car, but a proper connection to the vehicle's computer system means these features work as intended rather than being bypassed.

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.
