Which one did you go for? The one Brenda suggested?
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts because this is something I am considering.

Great news, I did wonder why all the westfallia details were blank for the Ecosport.

stock the following products for the EcoSport

Fixed Swan Neck Towbar (Bosal): £160 inc VAT & Delivery within UK & Ireland
Detachable Swan Neck Towbar (Bosal): £219 inc VAT & Delivery within UK & Ireland

7 Pin EcoSport Specific Wiring Kit (Right Connections): £115 inc VAT & Delivery within UK & Ireland
13 Pin EcoSport Specific Wiring Kit (Right Connections)</font>: £175 inc VAT & Delivery within UK & Ireland

7 Pin Universal Wiring Kit: £49 inc VAT & Delivery within UK & Ireland
13 Pin Universal Wiring Kit: £89 inc VAT & Delivery within UK & Ireland

I would strongly recommend the detachable swan neck towbar for 2 main reasons:
1. The neck piece will partially obscure the number plate
2. Due to the spare wheel location the neck piece is very long & may be prove to be an obstruction when accessing the rear luggage compartment.

The image below is an Aragon Swan Neck Towbar which has now been discontinued.
The Bosal Swan Neck towbar will look very similar.

I also have the latest update on Towbars for the EcoSport.
Brink /
Westfalia / PCT / A1Towing / TowTrust / Towsure have all said they will
probably never make towbars for the EcoSport due to predicted low volume
of sales.

Witter Towbars do have it in their development list but is is low priority & has not as yet been assigned a part number.

What about a trailer hitch for towing boats.. Is this also available as a bolt on part?
Cheers

Thanks for the headsup. What's the towing capacity of the Ecosport?

 

[murphytowbars]

Hi Ecoman77.
No option is currently listed for the bolt on ball/flange ball towbar. To be honest i would not expect anyone to list it as due to the low number plate the flange ball bar would really obscure it!

The Maximum towing capacity is listed as 750KG QX30? Hope this helps
