I would have to say, having just got a towbar to fit the Bongo , it is the most complicated one I've ever seen & I must have fitted fitted best part of 20 different ones over the years.

Sure it'll be fine when I get the big drill and the angle grinder out

It also weighs more than some small cars

Hi, bought my towbar from Towsure - fairly easy / straightforward to fit -just make sure you give it a coat of Hammerite before you fit it to protect it from the elements. Hope this helps. Ian. Ps even the electrics are simple to connect up.

I liked the look of ford tinny's ......

you can't see the bar that runs between the chassis rails like on mine, it is fine though... got mine from club shop

Got mine off e-bay from company in worcester,(A1 towbars) lots of parts also but very robust.
Word off warning check it fits before painting it, middle cross bar section was 1cm short and bar bent slightly, so on tightening bolts rear floor warped causing rear tail gate door not to close or lock. Solved with a spacer a one end.

I fiited one from the Bongo shop myself, an extra pair of hands would have been useful at some stages.
Very sturdy construction and all parts fitted perfectly.

good luck

My towsure one that was fitted a couple of weeks ago cost me £150 with single electrics, which I am well pleased with.
