Class 2 Towbar Installation Perth – Light Towing

Not every towing job needs a heavy duty setup. If you’re driving a sedan, hatchback or small SUV and you want to tow a small trailer, carry bikes on a rack, or hook up a jet ski for the weekend, a Class 2 towbar is all you need.
 
Tom’s Towbars supply and fit Class 2 towbars in Perth at our Wangara workshop, and every fitting is backed by our workmanship guarantee.

When you bring your vehicle to Tom’s, we will supply and fit a quality Class 2 towbar suited to your vehicle’s tow rating, provide your tow ball, all mounting hardware and brackets, and the 7-pin flat plug (standard for most light towing), properly wired to your vehicle’s electrical system.

Depending on what you’re towing, Tom’s can also provide fitment of Anderson plugs (essential if you’re charging batteries in a caravan or camper). 
 
We can also supply and install your bike carrier or rack – and advise what’s compatible with your vehicle.

Frequently asked questions about class 2 towbars

Do I need a towbar just for a bike rack?
Yes. Most bike carriers require a towbar to be fitted, even if you’re not towing a trailer. A Class 2 towbar is perfectly suited for this and is one of the most common reasons people come to us. You don’t need trailer wiring for a bike carrier, just the bar and tow ball.
It depends on the camper. Lighter soft-floor campers may come in under 1,200kg and suit Class 2 perfectly. Heavier off-road campers (particularly hard floors with a lot of gear) can push close to or above the Class 2 limit.
 
Check your camper’s ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass) and compare it to your vehicle’s rated tow capacity. We can help you work it out if you’re not sure.
Most modern Class 2 towbars are designed to integrate neatly with the vehicle’s rear. If your car has rear parking sensors, there are wiring solutions that will disable them automatically when a trailer is connected — we can include this as part of the installation.
Generally a couple of hours. If you’re also having wiring fitted it may take a little longer. We’ll give you a clear timeframe when you book.
Tongue weight (also called ball load) varies by towbar model and vehicle, but is typically in the range of 100–120kg for a Class 2 bar. This is the maximum downward force allowed on the tow ball. We’ll always confirm the correct spec for your vehicle at the time of fitment.
Possibly – most small to medium SUVs have a manufacturer-approved tow rating and are perfectly suitable for Class 2 towing.
 
Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Subaru Forester and similar models are all common Class 2 fitments for us.
