Check out some of our Toyota Proace Max Trustpilot reviews...
Can a towbar be fitted to a Toyota Proace Max?
Yes. Towbar Express can supply and fit a towbar to suitable Toyota Proace Max models. The correct towbar depends on the body length, wheelbase, vehicle configuration and exact specification, 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 Toyota Proace Max?
Towbar Express offers two towbar options for the Toyota Proace Max:
Fixed flange towbar – a strong and versatile permanent towbar that remains fitted to the vehicle at all times, making it particularly suitable for regular towing and commercial use.
Detachable swan neck towbar – a more discreet option that allows the towbar neck to be removed when it is not required, leaving no towball permanently positioned behind the vehicle.
The correct towbar application can vary according to the body length, wheelbase and exact Toyota Proace Max specification, so Towbar Express will confirm the appropriate towbar for your vehicle before fitting.
Which towbar is best for my Toyota Proace Max?
If your Toyota Proace Max is used regularly for towing and you want a permanent towing point that is always ready to use, the fixed flange towbar is a practical choice.
If you prefer to remove the towball when it is not required, the detachable swan neck towbar provides a more discreet solution and can be removed between uses.
What is the towbar rated to on a Toyota Proace Max?
The maximum towbar rating depends on the exact Toyota Proace Max 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 Toyota Proace Max 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 Toyota Proace Max can tow?
The VIN plate will normally show the vehicle's maximum permitted laden weight (Gross Vehicle Weight) followed by its maximum combined vehicle and trailer weight (Gross Train Weight). Subtracting the first figure from the second shows the trailer weight available when the vehicle itself is loaded to its maximum permitted weight.
The vehicle manufacturer's specified towing limit should also be checked, as the vehicle, trailer, towbar and combined train weight must all remain within their respective limits. The permitted towing weight can vary according to the engine, transmission, body length, wheelbase and exact Toyota Proace Max specification. You can find more information in our maximum towing weight guide.
Does my Toyota Proace Max need a bumper cut?
No. Fitting a towbar to the Toyota Proace Max does not require a bumper cut.
Will my Toyota Proace Max bumper be modified when fitting the towbar?
No. As the towbar installation does not require a bumper cut, the Toyota Proace Max bumper does not need to be cut for the towbar to be fitted.
What electrics do you fit to a Toyota Proace Max?
Towbar Express fits dedicated vehicle-specific 13-pin electrics to the Toyota Proace Max. We do not fit universal wiring or 7-pin electrics. The vehicle-specific wiring kit is designed specifically for the vehicle and provides the electrical connection required for your trailer, caravan or compatible cycle carrier.
You can find more information about the different electrical connections used with towbars in our guide to towing electrics.
Will a towbar affect my Toyota Proace Max parking sensors?
The effect on the rear parking sensors depends on the towbar design and the position of the vehicle's sensors. The fixed flange remains permanently fitted and may sometimes be detected by the rear parking sensors, while the detachable swan neck can be removed when it is not required.
Is the Toyota Proace Max towbar compatible with AL-KO stabilisers?
Compatibility depends on the exact towbar, towball and towing equipment being used. Towbar Express will confirm whether the selected Toyota Proace Max towbar is suitable for your intended towing equipment before fitting.
Can you fit a towbar to my Toyota Proace Max at home or work?
Yes. Towbar Express offers mobile towbar fitting, so our engineer can fit your Toyota Proace Max towbar at your home or workplace.
