Check out some of our Peugeot 508 Trustpilot reviews...
Can a towbar be fitted to a Peugeot 508?
Yes. Towbar Express can supply and fit a towbar to suitable Peugeot 508 models. The correct towbar depends on the age, body style 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 508?
Towbar options for suitable Peugeot 508 models include a fixed swan neck towbar and a detachable swan neck towbar.
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 508?
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 508?
The maximum towbar rating depends on the exact Peugeot 508 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 508 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 508 can tow?
The towing capacity of your Peugeot 508 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 508 need a bumper cut?
Yes. Depending on the exact Peugeot 508 and towbar application, fitting the towbar requires a small modification to the underside of the rear bumper or undertray. This is carried out as part of the towbar installation.
Will the bumper cut be visible on my Peugeot 508?
No. The bumper modification required for the relevant Peugeot 508 towbar applications is non-visible, so the cut is concealed underneath the vehicle once the towbar has been fitted.
What electrics do you fit to a Peugeot 508?
Towbar Express fits 13-pin towing electrics using the appropriate vehicle-specific wiring for the Peugeot 508. The dedicated electrical kit is selected for the exact vehicle and is designed to integrate correctly with the Peugeot's electrical system while providing the required trailer or cycle-carrier lighting and supported vehicle functions.
Will a towbar affect my Peugeot 508 parking sensors?
If your Peugeot 508 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 508 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 508 towbar is suitable for your intended towing equipment before fitting.
Can you fit a towbar to my Peugeot 508 at home?
Yes. Towbar Express offers mobile towbar fitting, so our engineer can fit your Peugeot 508 towbar at your home or workplace.
