Towbar fitting for Nissan X-Trail
Mobile towbar fitting for the Nissan X-Trail, at your home or workplace across the Midlands.
The Towbar Man supplies and fits towbars and vehicle-specific electrics to the Nissan X-Trail. We come to your driveway or a workplace car park, so the vehicle does not need to be left at a garage.
Towing with a Nissan X-Trail
The X-Trail is a mid-size Nissan SUV, often chosen when people want more space than a smaller crossover and plan to tow a trailer or caravan, or carry bikes. Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions can all be quoted from the registration. If yours is fully electric, see Towbars for electric cars.
On X-Trails we have quoted, a fixed swan neck or a detachable swan neck is often requested, with a mix of 7-pin and 13-pin vehicle-specific electrics. A 13-pin socket is the usual choice for a modern caravan. We will confirm the right towbar and electrics for your vehicle and what you tow.
Towbars we fit
We supply and install:
- Fixed flange towbars: A good choice if you use a bolt-on accessory, a bumper plate, or a cycle carrier alongside a caravan.
- Fixed swan neck towbars: A slimmer permanent neck, often chosen for everyday towing and many bike racks.
- Detachable towbars: The neck can be removed when you are not towing, and can be stored in the vehicle, leaving the rear of the X-Trail looking closer to standard.
We mainly fit Tow-Trust towbars, along with Brink, Oris, ConWys and ECS. You can compare the designs on our Types of towbars page. For carrying bikes, see Towbar fitting for bike racks. For caravan use, see Towbars for towing a caravan.
Electrics
Dedicated vehicle-specific electrics are preferred, in 7-pin or 13-pin, and are designed to work with the car’s own systems. Read more on our Dedicated vehicle-specific electrics page. Universal electrics are fitted only where a dedicated kit is not available. We also undertake vehicle electrics repairs.

Towbar questions for the Nissan X-Trail
Can you fit the towbar at my workplace?
Yes, as long as there is a safe, flat space to work, such as a workplace car park.
Which electrics do I need for a caravan?
A 13-pin dedicated socket is the usual choice for a modern caravan, so road lights and the caravan’s internal systems can work while you tow. See Towbars for towing a caravan.
Do I have to take the towbar off when I am not towing?
Only if you choose a detachable towbar. Fixed swan neck and flange towbars stay on the vehicle.
How long does the fitting take?
Most Nissan X-Trail installations take a couple of hours, depending on the exact model and the electrics being fitted.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment is by cash or bank transfer upon completion. We do not use card machines.
