cost to install towbar

Installing a towbar in Australia will cost you anywhere between $400 and $1,200 AUD, depending on the vehicle make, model, and type of towbar. A basic fixed towbar tends to be cheaper than a detachable or electric-retractable one, which can push costs higher. Labour charges can vary significantly, especially if your vehicle requires additional wiring for trailer lights. Used to be straightforward, but these days, modern cars come with a spaghetti mess of sensors and wiring that can make installation a pain.
