What's my Towing Capacity?
The Vauxhall Grandland Hybrid has a towing weight of approximately 1,250KG, meaning there is ample capacity to be able to tow a Trailer, Cycle Carrier, or smaller Caravan.
We always advise checking the weight of what you are planning to tow as overloading your towbar can result in damage to the vehicle, and in extreme situations can cause the load to unhitch. To be able to check the towing capacity for your Vauxhall Grandland please refer to the VIN plate that is located either under the bonnet or passenger door sill.
Which Towbar is best for my Vauxhall Grandland?
We offer all types of towbars for the Vauxhall Grandland.
A fixed flange towbar is an excellent choice for those who don't ever wish to remove the towbar off the vehicle, as the fixed flange towbar is a permanent towbar. However, please note the chunkier design of the Grandland means that parking sensors are more likely to detect the towbar when in reverse, causing the sensors to react accordingly. The fixed flange towbar is an excellent option for anyone wanting to add additional towing accessories to their towbar, as the flange is equipped with a bolt-on plate that allows for extras to be bolted on to. This plate allows for accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt-on cycle carriers to be fitted and used simultaneously to use the towball to tow. The fixed flange towbar is compatible with all styles of cycle carriers, trailers, and most caravans. If a caravan is fitted with an ALKO stabiliser, then an ALKO ball must be purchased prior to fitment for the towbar to attach.
The fixed swan neck is another permanent towbar, meaning it cannot be removed once towing has been completed. However, due to the thinner design of the towbar, it is a lot less likely to cause any issues with the parking sensors when in reverse. The fixed swan neck towbar can be used with all trailers, clamp-on style cycle carriers and all caravans. An ALKO towball is not required on the fixed swan neck when towing a caravan with an ALKO stabiliser.
The detachable swan neck towbar is ideal for an Vauxhall Grandland with rear sensors fitted as the towbar neck can be removed when towing has finished. The Detachable towbar allows for the vehicle's aesthetics to be unchanged when the neck is removed as the towbar becomes practically invisible. The detachable can be easily removed using a twist and push method but can also be locked with a key to protect it from theft. The detachable swan neck towbar is also compatible with clamp-on style cycle carriers, trailers and caravans. It is also ALKO compatible, meaning no ALKO towball would need to be purchased when towing a caravan with ALKO stabilisers.
