Types of Towbars
In the United Kingdom there are four different types of towbars. These include the following:

Fixed Flange TowbarsFixed flange towbars are the most common type of towbar in the United Kingdom. With a fixed flange towbar the towball is bolted onto the towbar with two M16 bolts. This system means that various different types of towballs and accessories can be bolted directly to the towbar.
Cheapest Option
Can be used with different types of towballs (ball pin and jaw, ALKO ball, long reach ball and standard ball)
Can be used with bumper plates
Can be used with tow steps
Fits with all cycle carriers (some carriers may need long reach ball)
Compatible with the ALKO stabilizer system (ALKO ball will be required)
Compatible with the bull dog and snake master caravan stabilizer systems
Detachable Flange TowbarsDetachable flange towbars are a relatively new concept in the United Kingdom. Only being brought to the market since around 2010, they offer the ability to bolt different types of towballs and accessories but at the same time keep a neat look. On most vehicles a fully invisible detachable flange towbar can be installed with fold away electrics.
Can be used with different types of towballs (ball pin and jaw, ALKO ball, long reach ball and standard ball)
Can be used with bumper plates
Can be used with tow steps
Fits with all cycle carriers (some carriers may need long reach ball)
Compatible with the ALKO stabilizer system (ALKO ball will be required)
Compatible with the bull dog and snake master caravan stabilizer systems
If the vehicle has parking sensors fitted then this type of towbar won't cause interference as it can be fully removed
In most cases fully invisible option is available
Fixed Swan Neck TowbarsFixed swan neck towbars are the most common type of towbar throughout Europe. A few years back companies like Brink (now Thule Towing) and Bosal started importing the fixed swan neck towbar into the United Kingdom. Since then, the fixed swan neck towbar has become more and more popular. The fixed swan neck towbar has either a welded neck or a bolted on neck. With the fixed swan neck towbar the electrics are bolted on the neck inline with the bumper. Some people believe that this is a neater install. This towbar is fully compatible with the ALKO stabilizer system but incompatible with the type of caravan stabilizer where a bolt on plate is required (bull dog and snake master). It is also incompatible with some cycle carriers (the ones that require bolt on plates).
Compatible with the ALKO stabilizer system (ALKO ball will be required)
Nice neat look
Less likely to pick up on your parking sensors
Detachable Swan Neck TowbarsDetachable swan neck towbars are the most popular type of detachable towbar in the United Kingdom. Mainly due to them being on the market the longest. The majority of detachable swan neck towbars feature a fully automatic release system with the ability to lock the neck to the towbar. However there are a few on the market that have a manual system and no feature to lock them onto the towbar. This towbar is fully compatible with the ALKO stabilizer system but incompatible with the type of caravan stabilizer systems where a bolt on plate is required (bull dog and snake master). It is also incompatible with some cycle carrier systems, again, the ones that require the bolt on plates. On most vehicles, a fully invisible swan neck detachable towbar is available.
Compatible with the ALKO stabilizer system (ALKO ball will be required)
Nice neat look
If the vehicle has parking sensors fitted then this type of towbar won't cause interference as it can be fully removed
