Has anyone managed to get a factory fit tow bar yet ?. My dealer has been trying for weeks without success. They have had to loan me a car with a tow bar so we can go on holiday.  If you know of any stocks let me know so I can tell my dealer

Mine is on order. The car was delivered without the option, so the dealer is going to fit the kit when it comes in.

Brakes, I haven´t seen how the rear end looks when a towhook is fitted, any chance of adding a couple of photos? Is the Witter unit removeable? Did the silver panel need to be modified in any way?
 
Cheers! Wink

Hi, Dealer fitter mine while waiting for the DPF Modification.  Came in cheaper than the factory fit option.
 
The Ford official part is removable and looks very neat.
 
Additionally the Ford Part includes the electronics for the Trailer Assist System to react if the trailer starts to snake.  Before going for the Witter option, if TAS is important you may want to check whether the Witter links in to the TAS.
 
Happy towing

Yes the Witter unit is detachable and is great. The silver panel has not been modified and it comes with a 13 pin electric plug. Dont know how to load up photos, sorry.

Interesting about the Witter tow bar. I have gone direct to Witter and my local agent who both say it is not available yet as per the web site. Sounds as if one half does not know what the other half is doing. I have complained to Ford about lack of availability and still waiting a response.
