Check out some of our Peugeot 5008 Trustpilot reviews...
Can a towbar be fitted to a Peugeot 5008?
Yes. Towbar Express can supply and fit a towbar to suitable Peugeot 5008 models. The correct towbar depends on the age and exact specification of the vehicle, so we will check your vehicle details before fitting to ensure the correct towbar and dedicated electrical equipment are selected.
What towbar options are available for the Peugeot 5008?
Towbar Express offers a fixed swan neck towbar and a detachable swan neck towbar for suitable Peugeot 5008 models.
The fixed swan neck provides a neat permanent towing point and is a practical choice if you intend to use the towbar regularly. The detachable swan neck allows the towbar neck to be removed when it is not required, providing a more discreet installation.
Which towbar is best for my Peugeot 5008?
If you regularly use your towbar and want a permanent towing point, the fixed swan neck is a practical option. Its slim design provides a neat installation while keeping the towball permanently available.
If you prefer the towbar to be less noticeable when it is not being used, the detachable swan neck is the better option. The towbar neck can be removed when it is not required, leaving no towball permanently positioned behind the vehicle.
What is the towbar rated to on a Peugeot 5008?
The maximum towbar rating depends on the exact Peugeot 5008 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 Peugeot 5008 is permitted to tow, and the lowest applicable limit must always be followed. You can find more information in our guide to maximum towing weights.
How do I check how much my Peugeot 5008 can tow?
The towing capacity of your Peugeot 5008 should be checked using the vehicle's VIN or manufacturer weight plate and the manufacturer's technical information for the exact vehicle. The plate contains important vehicle weight information including the maximum authorised mass and, where specified, the maximum train weight. You can find more information in our towing weight guide.
Does my Peugeot 5008 need a bumper cut?
The bumper requirements depend on the age of the Peugeot 5008 and the exact towbar application. Some Peugeot 5008 towbar installations require a small modification to the underside of the rear bumper or undertray. Towbar Express will confirm the exact requirements for your vehicle before installation.
Will the bumper cut be visible on my Peugeot 5008?
Where a bumper modification is required for the relevant Peugeot 5008 towbar application, it is generally positioned underneath the rear bumper so that it is concealed once the towbar has been fitted. Towbar Express will confirm the exact bumper requirements for your vehicle before fitting.
What electrics do you fit to a Peugeot 5008?
Towbar Express fits dedicated vehicle-specific 13-pin electrics to the Peugeot 5008. We do not fit universal wiring or 7-pin electrics. The vehicle-specific wiring kit is designed specifically to communicate with the vehicle's electrical system and provide the correct connection for your trailer, caravan or compatible cycle carrier.
Using dedicated 13-pin electrics allows the towing equipment to integrate correctly with the vehicle's supported towing functions. Depending on the exact Peugeot 5008 and electrical kit, this can include functions such as trailer-light monitoring and integration with relevant vehicle systems. You can find more information in our guide to towing electrics.
Will a towbar affect my Peugeot 5008 parking sensors?
If your Peugeot 5008 is fitted with rear parking sensors, a permanently fitted towball can sometimes be detected depending on the position of the sensors. A detachable swan neck can be removed when it is not required, leaving no towball permanently positioned behind the vehicle.
Is the Peugeot 5008 towbar compatible with AL-KO stabilisers?
Compatibility depends on the exact towbar and towing equipment being used. Towbar Express will confirm whether the selected Peugeot 5008 towbar is suitable for your intended towing equipment before fitting.
Can you fit a towbar to my Peugeot 5008 at home?
Yes. Towbar Express offers mobile towbar fitting, so our engineer can fit your Peugeot 5008 towbar at your home or workplace.
