Can a towbar be fitted to a Ford Capri?
Yes. A towbar can be fitted to the new all-electric Ford Capri from 2024 onwards. Towbar Express offers a choice of fixed flange, fixed swan neck and detachable swan neck towbars for the Ford Capri. The permitted towing capacity depends on the exact vehicle specification and should always be checked before towing. Towbar Express can provide mobile towbar fitting at your home or workplace.
What towbar options are available for the Ford Capri?
The Ford Capri is available with three towbar options: a fixed flange towbar, fixed swan neck towbar or detachable swan neck towbar. The fixed flange is a practical option for regular towing and compatible accessories, while the fixed swan neck provides a slimmer appearance. The detachable swan neck can be removed when it is not required, helping to maintain the clean appearance of the rear of the Capri. You can find out more about the different types of towbar.
Which towbar is best for my Ford Capri?
The best towbar for your Ford Capri depends on how you intend to use it. A fixed flange towbar is a practical choice for regular towing and compatible accessories. A fixed swan neck provides a slimmer, more discreet appearance while remaining permanently fitted. If you prefer the towball to be removed completely when it is not being used, a detachable swan neck towbar is an ideal option.
What is the towbar rated to on a Ford Capri?
The maximum towbar rating depends on the approved towbar fitted to the Ford Capri. The towbar's maximum towing weight and vertical load are separate from the towing capacity of the vehicle itself. You must never exceed the lower of the vehicle or towbar limits. Find out more in our guide to maximum towing weights.
How much can a Ford Capri tow?
The towing capacity of the all-electric Ford Capri depends on the exact version. Ford's UK vehicle information specifies towing capability of between 1,000 kg and 1,200 kg depending on model. The exact permitted towing capacity of your individual Capri should always be confirmed from the vehicle's VIN plate, Certificate of Conformity or vehicle documentation before towing.
How do I check how much my Ford Capri can tow?
The best way to confirm the towing capacity of your Ford Capri is to check the vehicle's VIN plate and vehicle documentation. Where a maximum train weight is specified, subtracting the vehicle's maximum authorised mass from its maximum train weight gives the permitted trailer weight. You can find more information in our towing weight guide. If you're unsure, Towbar Express can help you identify the relevant figures.
Does my Ford Capri need a bumper cut?
The bumper-cut requirement depends on the exact towbar fitted to the Ford Capri. Where a bumper cut is required, our engineer will follow the towbar manufacturer's fitting instructions to ensure that the installation is completed correctly and neatly.
Will the bumper cut be visible on my Ford Capri?
This depends on the exact towbar application. Towbar Express will confirm whether a bumper cut is required and whether it is visible or concealed before fitting the towbar to your Ford Capri.
What electrics do you fit to a Ford Capri?
We fit 13-pin towing electrics to the Ford Capri. We use vehicle-specific wiring where the appropriate kit is available, allowing the towing electrics to integrate correctly with the Capri's electrical systems and provide the connections required for trailer lighting and other supported 13-pin towing functions.
Will a towbar affect my Ford Capri's parking sensors?
A fixed flange or fixed swan neck towbar can sometimes be detected by the rear parking sensors, depending on the position of the sensors. Choosing a detachable swan neck towbar allows the towball neck to be removed when it is not required, leaving the rear of the Capri clear during everyday driving. The correct vehicle-specific towing electrics also allow supported towing functions to integrate with the vehicle.
Is the Ford Capri towbar compatible with AL-KO stabilisers?
Yes. A suitable fixed or detachable swan neck towbar can be used with AL-KO and Winterhoff stabiliser hitches provided the required towball clearances are met. A fixed flange towbar can also be used when fitted with the correct AL-KO compatible towball. The towing weight and vertical load must always remain within the permitted limits of the vehicle, towbar and towing equipment.
Can you fit a towbar to my Ford Capri at home?
Yes. Towbar Express offers mobile towbar fitting, allowing our engineer to fit your Ford Capri towbar at your home or workplace. Appointments are available in two slots: 8am–12pm or 12pm–6pm.
