Check out some of our Renault Austral Trustpilot reviews...
Can a towbar be fitted to a Renault Austral?
Yes. Towbar Express can supply and fit a towbar to suitable Renault Austral models. The correct towbar depends on the exact model, year and 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 Renault Austral?
The towbar options available for the Renault Austral depend on the exact vehicle and towbar application. Towbar Express will confirm which towbar type is available for your exact Renault Austral before fitting.
Where a detachable swan neck towbar is available, the towbar neck can be removed when it is not required, providing a discreet installation and leaving no towball permanently positioned behind the vehicle.
Which towbar is best for my Renault Austral?
The best towbar for your Renault Austral depends on the towbar options available for the exact vehicle and how you intend to use it. A permanent towbar can be a practical choice for regular towing, while a detachable swan neck, where available, provides a more discreet option because the towbar neck can be removed when it is not required.
Towbar Express will confirm the available options for your exact Renault Austral and ensure the selected towbar is suitable for your intended use.
What is the towbar rated to on a Renault Austral?
The maximum towbar rating depends on the exact Renault Austral 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 Renault Austral is permitted to tow. The vehicle, towbar and towing equipment must all remain within their respective limits, with the lowest applicable limit always being followed. You can find more information in our guide to maximum towing weights.
How do I check how much my Renault Austral can tow?
The towing capacity of your Renault Austral should be checked using the vehicle's VIN or manufacturer weight plate together with the manufacturer's technical information for the exact vehicle. Towing limits can vary according to the powertrain and vehicle specification, so the permitted towing weight for your particular Renault Austral should always be confirmed before towing.
You can find more information in our towing weight guide.
Does my Renault Austral need a bumper cut?
The bumper requirements depend on the exact Renault Austral and towbar application. Some installations may require a modification to the underside of the rear bumper or undertray. Towbar Express will confirm whether a bumper modification is required for your exact vehicle before fitting.
Will the bumper cut be visible on my Renault Austral?
This depends on the exact Renault Austral and towbar application. Where a bumper or undertray modification is required, Towbar Express will confirm its position and whether it will be visible before fitting.
What electrics do you fit to a Renault Austral?
Towbar Express fits dedicated vehicle-specific 13-pin electrics to the Renault Austral. 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 Renault Austral 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 Renault Austral parking sensors?
If your Renault Austral is fitted with rear parking sensors, the effect of the towbar depends on the towbar design and the position of the sensors. A detachable towbar, where available, can be removed when it is not required, leaving no towball permanently positioned behind the vehicle.
Is the Renault Austral towbar compatible with AL-KO stabilisers?
Compatibility depends on the exact towbar and towball fitted to the vehicle. Towbar Express will confirm whether the selected Renault Austral towbar is compatible with an AL-KO stabiliser before fitting.
Can you fit a towbar to my Renault Austral at home?
Yes. Towbar Express offers mobile towbar fitting, so our engineer can fit your Renault Austral towbar at your home or workplace.
