Hi.

How much should it cost ballpark to get a towbar fitted to a T6.1 Kombi (2019)?

Ouch. Is there a lot of electics involved because of the rear camera or something to make it cost that much?

Just tried PF Jones website.

Roughly £700 for a Westfalia vehicle-specific with removable tow-hook.

Got quote from VW dealer €1455. Insane. What could be involved in fitting a towbar to a Kombi that makes it so expensive?

VW.

VW.

Besides VW. What's extra complicated in fitting a towbar to a T6.1? Last time I got a towbar fitted it was to a T4.

I had a detachable westfelia one fitted in September at a cost of £700.

Nothing mechanically, just a bit of extra coding and cables depending on if it’s got towbar prep or not. The biggest difference is the markup by VW as the normal price appears to be around £700 for an OEM Westfalia from anywhere other than a main dealer.
