Mobile Towbar Fitting for Maxus eTerron 9

Q: What Can the Maxus eTerron 9 Tow?

The Maxus eTerron 9 is designed for heavy-duty towing, combining dual electric motors, all-wheel drive, and instant electric torque to deliver strong pulling power and excellent stability under load. It is ideally suited to towing full-size caravans and touring trailers, horseboxes, plant and machinery trailers, livestock and box trailers, boat trailers, and other heavy leisure or commercial equipment. As a guide, the Maxus eTerron 9 has a maximum braked towing capacity of approximately 3,500 kg and an unbraked towing capacity of approximately 750 kg. It has a kerb weight of around 2,880 kg, with a payload of 620 kg on standard models or up to 1,050 kg on the Utility trim. Because payload and towing capacity are closely linked, towing at the vehicle's maximum 3,500 kg limit will reduce the amount of weight that can be carried in the load bed. You should always check your vehicle's VIN plate to confirm the exact manufacturer-approved towing limits and ensure the combined vehicle, trailer and payload weights remain within the permitted limits. If you plan to tow heavier trailers, be aware that the combined weight of the Maxus eTerron 9 and its trailer can easily exceed 3,500 kg. Depending on when you passed your driving test and the licence categories you hold, you may need the appropriate entitlement to tow legally. It is always advisable to check your driving licence and the latest DVLA guidance before towing at higher weights.

Q: Which Towbar Type Is Right for My eTerron 9?

There are three main towbar types available for the Maxus eTerron 9: fixed flange, fixed swan neck, and detachable swan neck. A fixed flange towbar is the most versatile and heavy-duty option, making it ideal for frequent commercial use and heavy towing. It is compatible with both tow-and-carry accessories and ball-mounted cycle carriers, offering maximum flexibility. A fixed swan neck towbar provides a neater, more streamlined appearance while remaining an excellent choice for towing trailers and caravans, and is compatible with ball-mounted cycle carriers. A detachable swan neck towbar offers the same towing performance as the fixed swan neck but allows the towball to be quickly removed and stored away when not in use, helping to preserve the vehicle's appearance. For most Maxus eTerron 9 owners who regularly tow heavy loads, we recommend a fixed flange towbar due to its strength, durability and versatility. However, if you only tow occasionally and prefer to maintain the vehicle's clean rear styling when the towbar is not in use, a detachable swan neck towbar is an excellent alternative, providing the same towing capability with the added convenience of a removable towball.

Q: Electrics for Your Maxus eTerron 9 Towbar

We recommend fitting a dedicated, vehicle-specific wiring loom with your Maxus eTerron 9 towbar, rather than a universal bypass relay. This ensures the towbar electrics integrate seamlessly with the vehicle's advanced lighting, safety and driver assistance systems, allowing trailer lighting and any towing-related features to operate exactly as intended by the manufacturer. For most owners, a 13-pin electrics kit is the best choice, as it provides power for all mandatory trailer lighting, including indicators, brake lights, tail lights, fog lights and reversing lights, while also supplying additional power for caravan equipment such as interior lighting, battery charging, fridges and reversing cameras. As with any electric vehicle, towing will have a noticeable impact on the Maxus eTerron 9's driving range. Depending on the weight of the trailer, driving speed, terrain, weather conditions and use of heating or air conditioning, drivers can typically expect a 30–50% reduction in range when towing heavier loads. If you're planning longer journeys with a trailer or caravan, it's advisable to allow for additional charging stops and plan your route accordingly to ensure a smooth and stress-free towing experience.

More about the Maxus eTerron 9

Is the Maxus eTerron 9 Approved to Tow?

Yes — the eTerron 9 is approved for heavy-duty towing, with a braked capacity of up to 3,500kg, matching many diesel pickup equivalents. All our towbars are manufactured and fitted to full European standards, including 94/20/EC type approval. As with any vehicle, always check the exact rating on your car's VIN plate.

What Can the Maxus eTerron 9 Tow?

With dual electric motors, all-wheel drive, and instant torque, the eTerron 9 is built for serious towing work. It's well suited to:

Full-size caravans and touring trailers
Horseboxes
Plant trailers and machinery
Livestock and box trailers
Boat trailers

Maxus eTerron 9 Towing Capacity

Exact figures depend on your specific trim and the details on your vehicle's VIN plate, but approximate weights are:

Braked trailer: approx 3,500 kg
Unbraked trailer: approx 750 kg
Kerb weight: approx 2,880 kg
Payload: 620 kg standard, or 1,050 kg on the Utility trim

Bear in mind that payload and towing capacity are linked — towing at the full 3,500kg limit will significantly reduce how much you can carry in the load bed at the same time. Always confirm the exact combination for your specific vehicle before loading and towing.

Driving Licence Requirements

Towing at higher weights with the eTerron 9 can easily push your combined vehicle and trailer weight over 3,500kg. If this applies to you, you may need a category B+E licence to tow legally, depending on when you passed your test. It's worth checking your entitlement before planning a heavy tow.

Which Towbar Type Is Right for My eTerron 9?

There are three main towbar types to choose from:

Fixed flange — the most versatile and robust option, well suited to heavy-duty and commercial towing, and compatible with both tow-and-carry and ball-mounted cycle carriers.
Fixed swan neck — a neater shape for towing trailers or caravans, compatible with ball-mounted cycle carriers.
Detachable swan neck — the same towing capability as a fixed swan neck, with a towball that unclips and stores away when not in use.

For most eTerron 9 owners using the truck for regular heavy towing, we recommend a fixed flange towbar for maximum strength and reliability. If you tow only occasionally and want to keep the rear styling clean, a detachable swan neck is a good alternative.

Electrics for Your Maxus eTerron 9 Towbar

We fit a dedicated, vehicle-specific wiring loom — not a universal bypass relay — so your towbar electrics integrate correctly with the eTerron 9's onboard safety and lighting systems. A 13-pin electrics kit is recommended for towing a caravan or trailer with additional electrics, giving you power for indicators, brake lights, fog lights, reversing lights, and extras like fridges and reversing cameras.

Towing and Electric Range

As with all electric vehicles, towing will noticeably reduce your driving range. Depending on trailer weight, speed, terrain, and weather conditions, owners can typically expect a 30–50% reduction in range when towing at higher weights, so it's worth planning charging stops accordingly on longer trips.
