No probs, I'll just wait for it to stop pouring with rain...

Hiya @MonsterS, I'm guessing these would have to be taken during installation? I can post some pics of the back of our Alphard with the tow bar attached, but that's probably not what you need is it?

Hi there - I'm only just getting to grips with this myself, but I've booked to have a fixed towbar fitted by a company called The Tow Bar Group - they told me their suppliers don't do a detachable option for this Alphard anymore. (Their list of suppliers is Witter, Westfalia, Tow Trust, PCT, Brink, PF Jones, Oris, in case it helps to short-cut anyone else's search.) I tried a few other places and they either didn't have anything for the Alphard (Towbar Express), or were a bit more expensive (uk-towbars.net). If you could fit it yourself, you can buy the PCT towbar from Towsure (they won't fit it), and I think it works out cheaper than buying it from PCT directly - but I might be wrong on that. That's pretty much everything I know... Good luck!

Thank you so much guys - that's really helpful and good to know. Much appreciated!

Hi there We're looking to get a towbar fitted to our 2002-08 Alphard (to tow a lightweight teardrop camper) and I can only find fixed options. We'd ideally prefer a detachable one, as it's our main car and I worry we'll be banging our shins on it all the time! And more importantly, I'm worried it will make the sonar sensors go off all the time, so they become unusable. I would really appreciate any advice/reassurance from other owners on: 1. Is anyone aware of a detachable towbar option for this version of the Alphard? 2. If you have a towbar, does it interfere with the sonar? Thanks in advance 🙂

Brilliant, thank you!

Hello again @Picasso - thanks again for the part number. It's ordered with express shipping and we're now hoping it arrives before our MOT next Thursday 😬 Could I ask a potentially stupid follow-up question: is this something we're likely to be able to fit ourselves, or would we need to take it to a mechanic who can take the door apart..? We've not had the Alphard for a full year yet and this is the first thing to go wrong with it!

Brilliant - thank you!!! Massively appreciated 🙏

Thank you so much! I’ve just pmed you

Hi there I know this is an old thread but I’ve just become the second person to rip off the passenger door handle… 😳 If you see this, I’d love to know how you got yours fixed! thanks in advance
