UmbraRimorchi detachable flange towbar for Jeep Wrangler (19017/SF)
Here’s a sensible, no-nonsense towbar made to do the job without faff. The UmbraRimorchi detachable flange towbar is EC type-approved (94/20) and UK-approved, built to bolt onto the authorised mounting points on Jeep Wrangler models. It’s aimed at owners who want a reliable, removable towball that stays out of the way when you’re not towing, but is ready the moment you need it.
Key specifications
A few quick facts so there’s no guesswork: the towbar is rated to a maximum towing capacity of 3.5 tonnes (3,500 kg). The S value is 170 kg and the D value is 15.4 kN, giving a clear picture of towing and vertical load limits. The unit weighs 21.6 kg and is supplied either powder-coated or finished in black primer for corrosion resistance.
- The towbar is EC type-approved (94/20) and comes with fitting instructions, so you’ve got what you need for a tidy installation.
- All bolts are zinc-coated and made from high‑tensile steel (grade 8.8 or above) — durability where it matters.
- Detachable flange design keeps the bumper line clean when not towing; the removable flange is straightforward to fit or remove.
Fitment and compatibility
This unit is designed to fit Jeep Wrangler standard bumpers and is confirmed for Wrangler JK models from 01/2007 to 08/2018 (19017/SF). Some notes mention later Wrangler JL models, but it’s wise to double-check the exact year and bumper variant before buying — especially if your vehicle has sport packs, special trims, aftermarket bumpers, twin or bespoke exhausts, or other non‑standard fittings.
For vehicles with a CAN BUS system or LED lights, check whether the standard universal cabling is suitable or if a vehicle‑specific wiring loom is required. Electrical components are not included with this towbar and must be purchased separately.
Why choose this towbar?
It’s built for everyday use and rigorously tested — the design has undergone millions of cycles to ensure safety and reliability. That means fewer head-scratching moments when hitching a trailer, caravan or loading a heavy bike rack. The detachable flange keeps things neat, so you’re not lumbered with a permanent towball sticking out when you’re popping to the shops or parking in town.
Practical notes and common questions
- If your vehicle is a special edition (sports bumpers, aftermarket diffusers, twin exhausts, etc.), it may not fit without modification — best to check before ordering.
- Alko stabiliser compatibility isn’t guaranteed for all towbars — contact the seller or check specifications if you plan to use a stabiliser.
- Electrical kit is not included. For vehicles with advanced lighting setups or CAN BUS systems, your local dealer or a specialist can advise on the correct wiring loom.
All told, this UmbraRimorchi towbar is a practical pick for Jeep Wrangler owners after a strong, EC-approved detachable flange towbar with clear load ratings and robust fixing hardware. It’s reliable, easy to hide away when not in use, and gives peace of mind on the road — just give the fitment a quick once-over if your Jeep isn’t standard-spec.
