The Jaguar F-Pace is a luxury SUV that combines high performance, elegant design, and cutting-edge technology. For those who require towing capabilities, the Jaguar F-Pace detachable towbar offers a perfect solution.
This towing option allows owners to maintain the vehicle’s sophisticated look while providing the practicality needed for occasional towing tasks. Whether it's for a caravan, trailer, or other towed loads, a detachable towbar is a great way to enhance the F-Pace’s versatility without compromising its stylish exterior.
Jaguar F-Pace Detachable Towbars
A detachable towbar is designed to be quickly and easily removed when not in use, providing the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics. With the F-Pace, this means you get the flexibility to tow when necessary, and the ability to keep the rear of the vehicle free from visible towing hardware when you don’t.
Key Features of the Jaguar F-Pace Detachable Towbar:
- Sleek and Discreet Design: The detachable towbar for the F-Pace is designed to be both functional and visually appealing. When not in use, the towbar can be completely removed, leaving no visible trace behind. This ensures that the F-Pace retains its elegant, streamlined design, without the bulk or disruption that a permanent towbar might create.
- Easy Installation and Removal: One of the primary advantages of a detachable towbar is the ease with which it can be attached and removed. The F-Pace’s detachable towbar features a simple mechanism that allows for quick and secure installation. When not needed, it can be easily detached, offering ultimate convenience and flexibility.
- Towing Capacity: The Jaguar F-Pace, when equipped with the detachable towbar, offers impressive towing capacity. Depending on the engine variant and configuration, the F-Pace can tow up to 2,400 kg (approximately 5,290 lbs), making it suitable for towing caravans, trailers, boats, or other recreational vehicles. This towing capacity makes the F-Pace an excellent choice for long trips, outdoor adventures, or hauling heavier loads.
- Improved Driving Dynamics: The detachable towbar design ensures that the rear of the vehicle remains clean and free from any excess weight or drag when not towing, helping to maintain the vehicle’s aerodynamic efficiency and driving dynamics. With the towbar in place, the F-Pace's towing stability is enhanced, providing smooth handling and reducing sway or instability when pulling heavy loads.
- Versatility: The detachable towbar gives F-Pace owners the versatility they need for both everyday driving and occasional towing. Whether it's for a weekend getaway with a trailer or towing a boat, the towbar can be installed and removed easily, giving drivers the option to tow only when necessary.
- Safety and Security: Jaguar ensures that the detachable towbar is engineered to meet high safety standards. It is designed to handle the stresses and strains of towing heavy loads, offering both durability and stability. The system also comes with an integrated wiring kit to connect trailer lights, ensuring safety and compliance with towing regulations.
- Durability: Built from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, the F-Pace’s detachable towbar is made to withstand the elements. Whether in rain, snow, or mud, the towbar will remain functional, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Benefits of the Jaguar F-Pace Detachable Towbar:
- Aesthetic Appeal: The ability to remove the towbar when it’s not needed allows the F-Pace to retain its sleek and refined look, while still providing towing capability when required.
- Convenience: The towbar can be easily attached and detached, making it perfect for owners who only need towing capacity on occasion. It ensures that the rear of the vehicle stays clean and free from excess equipment when not in use.
- Improved Towing Stability: The F-Pace’s towing setup ensures balanced towing with reduced sway, providing a smoother and safer towing experience.
- Increased Maneuverability: When detached, the vehicle’s rear remains clear of the towbar, improving maneuverability, parking ease, and overall driving comfort.
- Enhanced Functionality: For those who occasionally tow heavier loads, the detachable towbar adds the necessary functionality without compromising the F-Pace’s luxurious driving experience.
The Jaguar F-Pace detachable towbar is the perfect solution for owners who require occasional towing capability without sacrificing style or performance. Its easy-to-remove design ensures that the rear of the F-Pace remains clean and attractive when the towbar is not in use.
Offering excellent towing capacity, versatility, and safety features, the detachable towbar enhances the F-Pace’s practicality while complementing its luxurious appearance.
Whether it's for a holiday trip, transporting equipment, or pulling a trailer, the detachable towbar makes the F-Pace even more versatile, giving owners the best of both worlds: performance and elegance.
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?
With any vehicle specific wiring loom, there is a chance your vehicle will need coding. All our engineers are equipped with coding machines to plug into your car to update the system. Most new vehicles have towing functions, and without the coding, it is possible they won't work. Some functions include deactivating your parking sensors, trailer stability control, and deactivating some safety functions such as lane assist.
Although this may sound daunting, we have invested heavily into up-to-date coding equipment. All our engineers are trained in using the new equipment, which means you will have the whole installation done the right way and save you from taking your vehicle to a manufacturer to finish the job. There are minimal occasions where we cannot code a vehicle, and you may need to get the dealership to complete this for you.

Guarantee
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.

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.
