On a Swan Neck towbar, the towball is part of the neck of the towbar.

A swan neck towbar can look tidier on the vehicle because it is more compact and is less likely to set any reverse parking sensors off. We can not guarantee this as it is dependant on the bumper shape and location of the parking sensors. We would recommend the Detachable Swan Neck Towbar if your vehicle has parking sensors.



  • Tidy and compact
  • Compatible with ALKO Stabilisers
  • Fits most clamp-on Cycle Carriers
  • If your vehicle has parking sensors, it is likely the fixed swan neck Towbar will trigger the parking sensors. We would recommend a Detachable Towbar instead

Important Information

*Please Note: If your vehicle is the new Hybrid Model, we will not be able to fit a towbar.

A call out fee may be applicable if our engineer attends your appointment and your vehicle is the Hybrid Model.

If you are unsure about any of the information above, please contact our customer services representatives who are willing to help.

More about the Vauxhall Grandland

Vauxhall has worked hard to bring its flagship SUV into line with the rest of its refreshed range of SUVs. The Grandland has benefitted from a stylish makeover to compete with rival brands such as the Nissan Qashqai and Skoda Karoq, as well as losing the ‘X’ from its title.

The Grandland isn’t the largest SUV on the market, but it boasts plenty of rear passenger space. Unfortunately, the boot capacity in this PHEV variant decreases to 390 litres from 514, due to the packaging of the battery pack underneath the floor.

With a full battery, the Grandland is a competent and comfortable SUV. The electric motor delivers a level of power that is appropriate for typical urban driving. The Grandland can cover up to 34 miles on electric power, according to Vauxhall, after which it reverts to hybrid mode using the 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. Once the battery charge is depleted, the engine sparks to life and is smooth and refined at lower speeds.

Plug into over 35,000 UK charging points, using the 3.7kW onboard charger. Or upgrade to the 7.4kW onboard charger and you can charge at home in less than two hours with a 7.4kW EV Charger. If you need to purchase an EV charger alongside your new towbar fitment, Towbar Express can supply this for you - click here for more information.

The Grandland portrays itself as a capable and dependable family-friendly SUV, with a refreshed styling making it appear much more appealing in its crowded market. The Grandland Hybrid does not only look bold and powerful, but it also comes with a range of features from entertainment with our PureConnect technology and our PureSense safety features to those features which make our journeys more comfortable.

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.

Will a Grandland need a bumper cut?

There will be a bumper cut to the bumper of your Grandland; however, fortunately, it won't be a visible cut.

Electrics

As manufacturers develop more efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles, the electrics behind a towbar have become more varied too. We offer a range of options to make sure you get the right product at the right price, and there's a fair bit to consider when choosing your setup. Here's our guide to help you understand what's fitted and why.

Which socket type do we fit?

13 Pin Electrics

We fit 13-pin electrics as standard with every towbar installation. The 13-pin socket combines the functions of the older 7-pin and twin (12S) systems into one connector, providing everything needed to operate the road lights on your trailer or caravan - indicators, brake lights, sidelights, fog lights and reverse lights - plus 12-volt power for your caravan's other functions, such as charging its battery and powering the fridge and interior lights while you're driving.

It's also a neater fitment than the older systems, usually folding away under the bumper when you're not towing.

If you're towing a trailer, caravan or cycle carrier that uses an older 7-pin plug, you can still use it with a 13-pin towbar via an adaptor, available in our Accessories section.

A Note on 7-Pin and Twin (12S) Electrics

We no longer fit single 7-pin or twin (12S) electrics - these were the standard fitments before the 13-pin socket took over in 2008, and 13-pin now covers everything they did and more. If your existing trailer, caravan or cycle carrier only has a 7-pin plug, an adaptor lets you connect it to our 13-pin towbars without any loss of function for lighting.

Which wiring do we fit?

Vehicle Specific Wiring

We only fit vehicle-specific wiring - not universal aftermarket wiring or bypass relays. Each kit is designed specifically for the vehicle it's fitted to, interfacing with your car's onboard computer system exactly as the manufacturer intended, rather than soldering or using scotch locks to tap into the wiring. This keeps your manufacturer's warranty intact, whatever the age of your vehicle, and properly integrates the towbar with your car's systems rather than working around them.

It can also activate other towing functions your car may have, such as Trailer Stability Control, where fitted - this varies from car to car, but a proper connection to the vehicle's computer system means these features work as intended rather than being bypassed.

What is coding, and does my car need it?

At Towbar Express, our expert team can advise you based on your vehicle’s make, model, and year. We supply and fit vehicle-specific wiring kits, and if coding is required, we’ll carry it out as part of the installation; no need to visit a dealership.

For more information on coding for your vehicle, please contact us directly.

Guarantee

Towbar Warranty

Towbars that we supply have a manufacturers lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects. This guarantee covers the fixed parts of the towbar assembly, and not moving parts such as detachable necks, or other accessories.


Towbar Neck Warranty

The neck section of the towbar has a 12 month warranty. It is very rare that these necks have a fault. Most of the time when there is a fault it's usually that the neck wasn't released from the car properly last time it was used. It simply needs to be reset, and you can view a video guide here.


Electrics Warranty

Once your towbar and electrics have been fitted, we offer a 12-month guarantee on the installation of your towbar, electrics and other parts that are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Any electric faults that appear during the 12-month period that has been reported to us, will be fixed completely free of charge. If the fault isn't to do with the towbar fitment then you may be charged a call out fee, however this will be discussed at the time of booking.


Vehicle Warranty

Dependant on the make and model of your vehicle, the manufacturer may have offered a 3 year warranty at purchase or you may have taken an extended warranty to cover the electrics of your vehicle. If this is the case, then we recommend you choose the dedicated wiring loom. If you choose to have the universal electrics fitted to your vehicle then its possible you may lose your manufactures warranty. If you are unsure which wiring type to choose then please click here for more information.


Cycle Carrier Warranty

The Thule Cycle Carriers have a 5 years warranty. If you do have any issues then please get in touch so we can contact Thule as they will need to see the cycle carrier and determine the fault and then either fix the issue or replace the carrier. The decision is final from Thule.

All of our warranties do not cover faults or damage caused by improper use or wear and tear from normal use.

You should be careful not to overload your towbar, as this is the most common cause of damage. You can check the maximum towing weight for your car here.
