Fixed & Detachable Towbars • Dedicated Electrics • Professional Vehicle Coding.
Telford Towbars provides professional KIA towbar fitting for a wide range of KIA cars, SUVs, hybrids and electric vehicles. We can supply and install fixed and detachable towbars together with dedicated electrics and vehicle coding or configuration where required.
Whether you need a towbar for a caravan, trailer or towbar-mounted bike carrier, give us your vehicle registration and we'll identify the appropriate solution for your exact KIA.
The KIA Sportage is one of the most popular vehicles we see for towbar installations.
We can provide KIA Sportage towbar fitting for compatible petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, with fixed or detachable towbar options and suitable vehicle-specific electrics.
Because specifications vary between Sportage generations and powertrains, we'll use your registration to identify the correct towbar and electrical kit for your vehicle.
Looking for a KIA Sorento towbar? The Sorento is particularly popular with customers wanting to tow caravans and larger trailers.
Telford Towbars can supply suitable fixed or detachable towbar systems, dedicated electrics and supported vehicle coding or configuration for compatible Sorento models.
Send us your registration and what you're planning to tow and we'll check the correct installation for your particular vehicle.
We can check KIA EV3 towbar options for compatible vehicles, whether you need the towbar for permitted towing or a towbar-mounted bike carrier.
With modern electric vehicles, it's particularly important that the towbar and electrical system are appropriate for the exact vehicle specification.
Contact us with your registration and we'll check the latest compatible options.
Looking for a KIA EV6 towbar? Telford Towbars can provide professional installation of compatible towbar and dedicated electrical systems.
The EV6 incorporates sophisticated vehicle electronics and driver-assistance systems, making correct electrical integration particularly important.
We'll check your exact EV6 specification before recommending the appropriate installation.
The KIA EV9 is a large electric SUV and can be an excellent vehicle for customers requiring additional carrying or approved towing capability.
We can check compatible KIA EV9 towbar systems, dedicated electrics and any supported vehicle configuration required for your exact vehicle.
We can check towbar options for compatible versions of the KIA Niro, Niro Hybrid, Niro Plug-in Hybrid and Niro EV.
Towing capabilities and towbar availability can differ considerably between powertrains, so it's important that we identify your exact vehicle before recommending a system.
If you primarily require a towbar for a bike carrier, let us know when requesting your quotation.
We can also check towbar availability for other compatible KIA vehicles.
If your model isn't listed above, simply send us your vehicle registration and we'll check the available towbar and electrical options.
Depending on your KIA and how you intend to use the towbar, both fixed and detachable towbar systems may be available.
A detachable KIA towbar is an excellent choice if you want to maintain the appearance of your vehicle when you're not towing.
The towball can be removed when it isn't required, making detachable systems particularly popular with owners of newer KIA Sportage, Sorento, EV3, EV6 and EV9 models.
They're also an excellent solution for customers who mainly require a towbar for a bike carrier.
A fixed KIA towbar provides a practical and robust solution for regular towing.
Because the towball remains permanently fitted, it's always ready for use and can often provide the most cost-effective solution.
Our team can explain the options available for your exact vehicle.
Modern KIA vehicles contain sophisticated electronic systems, which makes correct towbar electrical installation increasingly important.
Where appropriate and available, we recommend vehicle-specific dedicated KIA towbar electrics.
Dedicated electrics are designed to communicate correctly with the vehicle rather than simply supplying power to the trailer lights.
Depending on the vehicle and electrical kit installed, correct integration can be important for functions associated with:
Exact functionality depends on the particular KIA model, specification and electrical kit installed.
Some KIA vehicles require or benefit from coding or vehicle configuration following installation of a towbar and dedicated electrics.
This is where Telford Towbars has a significant technical advantage.
Through our association with Complete Diagnostics, we have access to advanced dealer-level diagnostic, coding and programming capabilities where required.
This means we're able to approach modern KIA towbar installation from both a mechanical and vehicle-electronics perspective.
Our objective isn't simply to bolt a towbar onto the vehicle. We want the complete installation to be properly integrated with your KIA.
For most modern towing applications we generally recommend 13-pin towbar electrics.
13-pin electrics are commonly used for:
A 7-pin electrical system may still be suitable for some basic trailer applications.
If you're unsure which system you require, tell us what you're planning to tow or carry and we'll advise you.
A towbar isn't just for towing a caravan or trailer.
Towbar-mounted bike racks are increasingly popular with KIA owners, particularly customers transporting heavier electric bikes.
A towbar-mounted carrier avoids having to lift bikes onto the roof and can provide a convenient way of transporting multiple bikes.
A detachable towbar can be particularly attractive because the towball can be removed when the carrier isn't being used.
The vehicle, towbar and bike-carrier weight limits must always be observed.
Towbar availability and permitted towing capability depend on the exact KIA model, generation, engine, powertrain and vehicle specification.
This is particularly important with hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles because towing capabilities can differ between different versions of what appears to be the same model.
The ability to physically install a towbar does not automatically mean that a vehicle is approved to tow every type or weight of trailer.
Before towing, the permitted towing capacity and nose weight for your exact vehicle should always be confirmed.
Send us your vehicle registration together with details of whether you're planning to tow a caravan, trailer or carry bikes and we'll check the appropriate options.
