Having difficulty sourcing the correct towbar for an Ecosport Hatchback 1.0 EcoBoost 125 Zetec 5 door (date of registration Feb 2018). Can anyone recommend a reliable go-to guy for tow bars. I was going to order from an ebay supplier however he couldnt guarantee it would fit!

Any help with this matter would be appreciated

Hi Matt and welcome to the Forum

If your wanting a local tow bar company, the first bit of information people wanting to respond would need to know which area (region) you live in, as you do not want to travel a long distance.

Towing capacity, 900kg braked, 750kg unbraked...
So thats a small caravan or small trailer.

Meanwhile have a look at towbar search on the forum as link below, the electrical question from Graham is interesting regarding Facelift Ecosport (2017 onwards) canbus system, and the relay method to solve it. Just in case you have to go down this route.

Sorry link is knackered, and you cannot edit a comment after six minutes on this forum, DOH, maybe the new forum layout we are getting soon will address that problem of editing.

Anyway just put in the search box at the top right, with the word 'towbar'

see...'Towbar electrics by Graham' thread
