Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Towbars

Fitting a towbar to your Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a great way to add extra practicality to your SUV, whether you're towing a caravan, trailer, or bike rack.

Our vehicle-specific towbars are engineered to match the Eclipse Cross's chassis and bumper profile precisely, bolting onto existing mounting points for a clean, factory-look finish with no cutting or welding required.

As the UK's largest mobile towbar fitting service, we come to you — home or work — with fitting typically taking just a couple of hours, backed by a full warranty on parts and fitting.

Detachable swan neck towbar, where the neck of the towbar can be removed when not in use.

Detachable towbars avoid any issues with parking sensors picking up the tow bar neck, so ultimately if your car has reverse parking sensors this would be the best option for you.

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

More about the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Is the Eclipse Cross Approved to Tow?

Yes — the Eclipse Cross is approved for towing, and all our towbars are manufactured and fitted to full European standards, including 94/20/EC type approval. Mitsubishi paused UK sales at the end of 2021, so this page covers existing owners rather than new-car buyers — always check the exact rating on your car's VIN plate, as this varies between petrol and PHEV versions.

What Can the Eclipse Cross Tow?

With a choice of petrol engines and a 2.4-litre PHEV, the Eclipse Cross is a capable SUV for towing. It's well suited to:

Small to medium caravans
Box trailers and utility trailers
Motorcycle trailers
Small boat or jet ski trailers
Towbar-mounted bike racks

Eclipse Cross Towing Capacity

Exact figures depend on your specific engine, and the details on your car's VIN plate, but approximate towing weights are:

Braked trailer: approx 1,600 kg
Unbraked trailer: approx 750 kg

Always confirm the exact rated capacity for your specific Eclipse Cross before towing.

Which Towbar Suits My Eclipse Cross?

We offer fixed flange, fixed swan neck, and detachable swan neck towbars for the Eclipse Cross (worth confirming this matches current fitment before publishing, as I haven't had this specifically confirmed for this model).

A fixed flange towbar has a flat mounting plate with the tow ball bolted on separately. It's the most versatile option for bike racks, since almost all towbar-mounted cycle carriers are designed to clamp onto a flange plate, and it's generally the more affordable choice.

A fixed swan neck towbar is a single moulded piece with no separate plate, giving a neater, more streamlined look and a narrower profile that's less likely to trigger the Eclipse Cross's rear parking sensors. It suits owners who tow or carry bikes regularly and want a permanent fitting.

A detachable swan neck towbar offers the same neat look, but the towball unclips and stores away when not in use, keeping the rear of the car looking completely standard day to day.

Towing with the PHEV

If you're running the Eclipse Cross PHEV, towing will noticeably reduce your electric-only range and increase fuel consumption once the battery is depleted, particularly at motorway speeds. It's still a capable tow car, but plan on a shorter EV range and higher running costs when towing regularly.

Electrics for Your Eclipse Cross Towbar

We fit a dedicated, vehicle-specific wiring loom — not a universal bypass relay — so your towbar electrics integrate correctly with the Eclipse Cross's onboard safety and lighting systems. A 13-pin electrics kit is recommended for towing a caravan, while a 7-pin kit covers basic trailer or bike rack lighting.

Our engineers train continuously to stay on top of new vehicle makes and models, so whatever you drive, we understand exactly how it should be fitted. That means real peace of mind, not just a quick job.

Choose a morning slot between 8am and 12pm, or an afternoon slot between 12pm and 6pm, and we'll fit your towbar at a time that works for you. Fitting typically takes between one and four hours, depending on your vehicle.

You can then book your date, time and location online, and we'll take care of the rest — bringing everything needed to complete the job in a single appointment, including any cycle carriers or accessories you've ordered alongside your towbar.
