Evening All,

This may be a stupid question but I'd like to know if theres a general consensus on the best and worst towbars. I'm minded to think that a towbar is a towbar but having never had one before I really have no clue.

I'm looking to fit one so I can carry my bikes on the back rather than the roof so it's unlikely I'll use it to tow but I will need electrics for a light board.

So, which, if any, is best? Are some easier to fit than others or are they all the same? I know it's usually necessary to cut the rear bumper. Are there any that don't require the bumper to be cut?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
