The vehicle manufacturer will state what each model is capable of towing, this information will be contained in the vehicle owners manual.  Each towbar listing also contains information on what your vehicle may be able to tow.  If in doubt, please contact us and we'll do our best to locate this information. Whilst this is not a legal requirement we do advise adhering to these ratings.  In New Zealand, the law requires that every light vehicle and trailer combination must be capable of stopping within a distance of 7 metres from a speed of 30km/h.  In effect, this means the maximum allowable weight of an unbraked trailer is limited by the weight and braking ability of the vehicle being used to tow it. As a guide, NZTA recommends that the laden weight of an unbraked trailer should not exceed three quarters of the laden weight of the towing vehicle - and then only if the towing vehicle’s brakes and tyres are in excellent condition.

No, we fit aftermarket ECU wiring which operates as an isolation unit to protect the vehicle's computer and prevent trouble codes. 

No, your new car warranty can not be void by having an aftermarket towbar and wiring fitted.  New Zealand’s Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) provides protection for consumers against faulty products, including cars.  The CGA requires car manufacturers to honour warranties and guarantees that they provide to consumers and prohibits manufacturers from imposing conditions on a warranty that go beyond what is allowed by the CGA.  

The removable option has a square section that the tongue slots in to.  The swan neck option is also removable, it is one piece without any visible bolts with an elongated, thinner neck resembling a 'swans' neck.  Differences are explained in our buyers guide.

It depends on what you intend on using the towbar for and personal preference.  The removable option with square section is great for bike racks as both towball mounted and hitch mounted bike racks can be carried.  If you require both a 1 7/8 inch and 50mm towball then two tongues can be purchased allowing these to be swapped out easily if a towball change is required.  The swan neck style tends to be less intrusive but isn't suitable for most bike racks.  As the towball and tongue are one piece, the purchase of a second tongue with different towball size is more expensive.

Yes, all our prices include the fitting of the towbar, tongue and towball so you are ready to use as soon as we have finished the installation.

Yes, you can!  We have now safely installed many towbars to BYD models.  Please see our BYD listings for options.

Good news!  Despite what you may heard, BYD, like any other vehicle manufacturer is bound by the Consumer Gurantees Act and can not void your car warranty simply by having an aftermarket part (towbar/wiring) fitted.  New Zealand’s Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) provides protection for consumers against faulty products, including cars.  The CGA requires car manufacturers to honour warranties and guarantees that they provide to consumers and prohibits manufacturers from imposing conditions on a warranty that go beyond what is allowed by the CGA.
