---

Pro's

The  most commonly used Towbar, a fixed flange is highly versatile, you can  add accessories, and different Towballs such as an AL-KO towball  to  suit your needs, recommended for commercial use and if you require Twin  electrics due to the various socket mounting options.

Not detachable, Not recommended if you have parking sensors on some vehicles,

Pro's

Fixed  swan necks are becoming much more popular, they have a sleek design and  are unlikely to effect parking sensors, the electrics are usually set  further back, A swing plate can be added so you can tuck your electric socket up behind the bumper when you're not towing, they are suitable  for both standard and AL-KO tow hitches.

Con's

Whilst they are compatible with AL-KO stabiliser hitches they are not suitable  for older stabilisers which require a vehicle mounted stabiliser plate, The towball is fixed at a legal height and distance from the vehicle  this is not adjustable.

Pro's

Almost  invisible when not connected, the detachable neck neatly and easily detaches from under the bumper and the neck can be stowed away,  electrics are on a flip up plate, highly recommended for vehicles with  parking sensors, suitable for both standard and AL-KO hitches, Ideal to minimise vehicle length for tight garages, Detachable necks are the solution if your vehicle has a low fitted central fog light or number plate.

Con's

Not suitable for twin electric applications without an adapter, not suitable for older Towbar mounted stabilizer systems, the cost is  usually higher.
