What makes GDW detachable towbars different from other brands?


GDW is highly regarded for its innovative detachable mechanisms, particularly its vertical click systems. When the towball neck is detached, the entire receiver housing and the folding electrical socket plate rotate completely up behind the bumper on most vehicle models. This clever design ensures that the sleek, original aesthetics of your car are completely preserved, making the entire towing assembly completely invisible from standing height when it is not in use.

Are GDW towbars protected against rust and harsh weather?


Yes, GDW products are built to withstand severe weather conditions and road salt. Every towbar undergoes a high-tech surface treatment process, including thorough shot-blasting followed by a premium polyester powder-coat finish. This industrial-grade coating provides excellent resistance against chips, scratches, and corrosion, ensuring your towbar retains its structural integrity and neat appearance over years of regular use.

Can a GDW towbar be fitted to a hybrid or electric vehicle?

GDW is an industry leader in developing towing solutions specifically for hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs). Because many modern eco-friendly cars have unique chassis layouts or strict weight limits, standard towbars often cannot be used. GDW engineers vehicle-specific options that respect the manufacturer's technical constraints—whether that means a fully functional towing setup or a specialised 'cycle-carrier-only' hitch designed purely for transport racks.

For drivers seeking cutting-edge design and exceptional durability, GDW Automotive offers an outstanding range of towing solutions. Established in Belgium in 1952, GDW has built a formidable reputation across Europe for manufacturing high-quality, precision-engineered towbars. At towbars.co.uk, we are proud to be a trusted supplier and installer of the GDW range, bringing their advanced continental engineering directly to retail and commercial customers across the UK mainland.

The standout feature of the GDW lineup is its incredible breadth of design. GDW develops bespoke towing systems for an immense variety of vehicles, often being among the first to market with custom fits for brand-new car models and electric vehicles. Whether you require a standard fixed flange variant for heavy commercial work, a tidy fixed swan neck, or their highly regarded hidden detachable systems, each towbar is constructed from premium-grade steel and subjected to exhaustive testing. Every model fully complies with European Type Approval standards, ensuring absolute safety and legal compliance on every journey.

A sophisticated towing system deserves a flawless installation. Our nationwide network of fully trained, mobile engineers takes the stress out of the process by coming directly to your home or workplace. We specialise in installing GDW towbars alongside dedicated vehicle-specific electrics. This advanced approach avoids the need to cut into your car's original wiring harness, allowing the towbar to communicate natively with your vehicle's onboard computer. This safely activates built-in trailer stability programmes, adjusts parking sensors, and crucially ensures your manufacturer warranty remains completely intact.
