What Can the Dacia Bigster Tow?

The Dacia Bigster is well suited to a wide range of towing applications, depending on the engine fitted. It can comfortably tow medium-sized box trailers, general-purpose utility trailers, garden and tip-run trailers, motorcycle trailers, small boats and jet ski trailers, and towbar-mounted bike racks. The Mild Hybrid models are also capable of towing small to medium caravans and can tow up to 1,500 kg (braked), making them ideal for heavier leisure equipment. The Hybrid 155 model has a lower towing capacity and is better suited to lighter trailers and everyday towing needs.

What's My Dacia Bigster Towing Capacity?

The Dacia Bigster's towing capacity varies depending on the engine fitted. The Mild Hybrid 140 and Mild Hybrid 130 4x4 models can tow up to 1,500 kg with a braked trailer, with an unbraked trailer capacity of 710–750 kg, and a maximum nose weight of 75 kg. The Hybrid 155 model has a maximum braked towing capacity of 1,000 kg, an unbraked trailer capacity of 745 kg, and a maximum nose weight of 75 kg. These figures are for guidance only, as the exact towing capacity of your vehicle should always be confirmed using the VIN plate, which provides the manufacturer's approved towing limits.

Will the Dacia Bigster Need a Bumper Cut?

Most Dacia Bigster models will require a small, non-visible bumper cut when a type-approved towbar is fitted. This trim is made to the underside of the rear bumper and cannot normally be seen when standing behind the vehicle, ensuring the factory appearance is maintained. Both detachable swan neck and fixed swan neck towbars typically require this minor modification, with only a small section of the lower bumper being trimmed to allow the towbar to fit correctly while remaining as discreet as possible.

Q: Which Towbar Is Best for My Dacia Bigster?

For most Dacia Bigster owners, a detachable swan neck towbar combined with dedicated vehicle-specific electrics provides the best balance of practicality, appearance and convenience. When the towbar neck is removed, it remains almost completely hidden, helping to preserve the vehicle's original factory look while still being ideal for towing trailers, caravans and using towbar-mounted bike racks. It is fully compatible with modern trailer electrics and can also help maintain the vehicle's resale value. If you tow on a regular basis, a fixed swan neck towbar is an excellent alternative, as it is permanently fitted and always ready for use without the need to attach or remove the towball.

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

Can a towbar be fitted to a Dacia Bigster?

Yes. Towbar Express can supply and fit a towbar to suitable Dacia Bigster 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 Dacia Bigster?

Towbar Express offers three towbar options for the Dacia Bigster:

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.

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 vehicle.

Which towbar is best for my Dacia Bigster?

If you regularly use your towbar and want a versatile permanent towing point, the fixed flange towbar is a practical 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 prefer to remove the towball when it is not required, the detachable swan neck towbar provides a more discreet solution and can be removed between uses.

What is the towbar rated to on a Dacia Bigster?

The maximum towbar rating depends on the exact Dacia Bigster 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 Dacia Bigster 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 Dacia Bigster 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 Dacia Bigster specification. You can find more information in our maximum towing weight guide.

Does my Dacia Bigster need a bumper cut?

Yes. Fitting a towbar to the Dacia Bigster requires a visible bumper cut to provide the necessary clearance for the towbar installation.

Will the bumper cut be visible on my Dacia Bigster?

Yes. The Dacia Bigster towbar installation requires a visible bumper cut. This means that part of the cut may remain visible once the towbar has been fitted.

What electrics do you fit to a Dacia Bigster?

We fit vehicle-specific 13-pin electrics to the Dacia Bigster. These provide the electrical connection between your Dacia Bigster 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 Dacia Bigster 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 Dacia Bigster towbar compatible with AL-KO stabilisers?

Compatibility depends on the exact towbar and towing equipment being used. Towbar Express will confirm whether the selected Dacia Bigster towbar is suitable for your intended towing equipment before fitting.

Can you fit a towbar to my Dacia Bigster at home?

Yes. Towbar Express offers mobile towbar fitting, so our engineer can fit your Dacia Bigster towbar at your home or workplace.
