Check out some of our Citroen Dispatch Trustpilot reviews...
Can a towbar be fitted to a Citroën Dispatch?
Yes. Towbar Express can supply and fit a towbar to suitable Citroën Dispatch models. The correct towbar depends on the exact model year, wheelbase, version and specification of the van, 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 Dispatch?
Towbar Express offers three towbar options for the Citroën Dispatch:
Fixed flange towbar – a strong and versatile permanent towbar that remains fitted to the van at all times, making it a practical choice for regular towing and frequent towbar use.
Fixed swan neck towbar – a slimmer permanent towbar that provides a neat installation with fewer visible components than a traditional flange towbar.
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 van.
Which towbar is best for my Citroën Dispatch?
If the towbar will be used regularly for work or frequent towing, the fixed flange towbar is a practical and versatile choice.
The fixed swan neck towbar is a good option if you want a permanently fitted towbar with a slimmer and less prominent appearance.
If you only require the towball occasionally or prefer to remove it when it is not being used, the detachable swan neck towbar provides a more discreet solution.
What is the towbar rated to on a Citroën Dispatch?
The maximum towbar rating depends on the exact Citroën Dispatch 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 van itself.
A higher-rated towbar does not increase the amount that the Citroën Dispatch 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 Dispatch 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, wheelbase and exact Citroën Dispatch specification. You can find more information in our maximum towing weight guide.
Does my Citroën Dispatch need a bumper cut?
No. Fitting a towbar to the Citroën Dispatch does not require a bumper cut.
Will my Citroën Dispatch bumper be modified when fitting the towbar?
No. As the towbar installation does not require a bumper cut, the Citroën Dispatch bumper does not need to be cut for the towbar to be fitted.
What electrics do you fit to a Citroën Dispatch?
We fit vehicle-specific 13-pin electrics to the Citroën Dispatch. These provide the electrical connection between your Citroën Dispatch 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 Dispatch 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 and fixed swan neck remain 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 Dispatch 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 Dispatch towbar is suitable for your intended towing equipment before fitting.
Can you fit a towbar to my Citroën Dispatch at home or work?
Yes. Towbar Express offers mobile towbar fitting, so our engineer can fit your Citroën Dispatch towbar at your home or workplace.
