Check out some of our Citroen Berlingo Van Trustpilot reviews...
Can a towbar be fitted to a Citroën Berlingo?
Yes. Towbar Express can supply and fit a towbar to suitable Citroën Berlingo models. The correct towbar depends on the exact model year, version and specification of the vehicle, so we will check your vehicle details before fitting to ensure the correct towbar and electrics are selected.
What towbar options are available for the Citroën Berlingo?
Towbar Express offers two towbar options for the Citroën Berlingo:
Fixed flange towbar – a strong and versatile permanent towbar that remains fitted to the vehicle at all times, making it a practical choice for regular towbar use.
Detachable swan neck towbar – a discreet option that allows the towbar neck to be removed when it is not required, leaving no towball permanently positioned behind the vehicle.
Which towbar is best for my Citroën Berlingo?
If you regularly use your towbar and want a permanent and versatile towing point, the fixed flange towbar is a practical choice.
If you prefer a more discreet installation, the detachable swan neck towbar allows the towbar neck to be removed when it is not required. This means there is no towball permanently positioned behind the vehicle when the detachable neck has been removed.
What is the towbar rated to on a Citroën Berlingo?
The maximum towbar rating depends on the exact Citroën Berlingo and towbar application. The towbar has its own maximum towing weight and vertical-load limit, which must be considered alongside the limits specified for the vehicle itself.
A higher-rated towbar does not increase the amount that the Citroën Berlingo is permitted to tow. The vehicle, towbar and towing equipment must all remain within their respective limits, with the lowest applicable limit always being followed. You can find more information in our guide to maximum towing weights.
How do I check how much my Citroën Berlingo can tow?
The VIN plate will normally show the vehicle's maximum permitted laden weight (Gross Vehicle Weight) followed by its maximum combined vehicle and trailer weight (Gross Train Weight). Subtracting the first figure from the second shows the trailer weight available when the vehicle itself is loaded to its maximum permitted weight.
The vehicle manufacturer's specified towing limit should also be checked, as the vehicle, trailer, towbar and combined train weight must all remain within their respective limits. The permitted towing weight can vary according to the engine, transmission, drivetrain and exact Citroën Berlingo specification. You can find more information in our maximum towing weight guide.
Does my Citroën Berlingo need a bumper cut?
No. Fitting a towbar to the Citroën Berlingo does not require a bumper cut.
Will my Citroën Berlingo bumper be modified when fitting the towbar?
No. As the towbar installation does not require a bumper cut, the Citroën Berlingo bumper does not need to be cut for the towbar to be fitted.
What electrics do you fit to a Citroën Berlingo?
We fit vehicle-specific 13-pin electrics to the Citroën Berlingo. These provide the electrical connection between your Citroën Berlingo and your trailer, caravan or compatible cycle carrier, allowing the lights to work correctly.
You can find out more in our guide to towing electrics.
Will a towbar affect my Citroën Berlingo parking sensors?
The effect on the rear parking sensors depends on the towbar design and the position of the vehicle's sensors. The fixed flange remains permanently fitted and may sometimes be detected by the rear parking sensors, while the detachable swan neck can be removed when it is not required.
Is the Citroën Berlingo towbar compatible with AL-KO stabilisers?
Compatibility depends on the exact towbar and towing equipment being used. Towbar Express will confirm whether the selected Citroën Berlingo towbar is suitable for your intended towing equipment before fitting.
Can you fit a towbar to my Citroën Berlingo at home?
Yes. Towbar Express offers mobile towbar fitting, so our engineer can fit your Citroën Berlingo towbar at your home or workplace.
