Product details
UmbraRimorchi fixed flange towbar + 7‑pin wiring – fits Ford Ranger 01/2012–09/2022
Key features
This is a sturdy, EC 94/20 / UK‑approved fixed flange towbar supplied with a 7‑pin universal C2 wiring loom. It’s made to bolt straight onto the vehicle manufacturer’s authorised mounting points for the Ford Ranger of the stated years, so you’re not faffing about every time you need to hitch up. The towbar arrives coated in a black primer for corrosion resistance and uses high‑tensile, zinc‑coated bolts (grade 8.8 or above) to keep everything held together properly.
Why this towbar helps
Need to tow a trailer, caravan or a heavy work load? With a 3.5 tonne towing capacity and 200 kg nose weight this unit copes with the sort of loads most owners ask of a Ranger. The universal 7‑pin socket covers standard 12 V and 24 V electrics, so lights and indicators will work straightaway in most cases. In short: fewer dodgy fittings, fewer electrical headaches, and more confidence when you set off.

Fitment and installation
This towbar is designed for bolt‑on fitting using the manufacturer’s mounting points, so installation is straightforward for any competent fitter or a decent garage. It’s been tested for durability with over 2 million push and pull cycles. It suits standard bumpers, but some trim variants — for example Sport, Titanium and Zetec — or non‑standard bumpers may not be compatible. Likewise, if the vehicle has twin or aftermarket exhausts, or uses CAN‑BUS or LED lighting systems, check compatibility beforehand to avoid unpleasant surprises at the ramp.

- EC type approved towbar (fixed flange) coated in black primer

Also note: not all towbars are compatible with an Alko stabiliser — if you need one, check with the seller or fitter first. Images are for illustrative purposes and show the item in the advertised application.
Practical tips and common questions
Worried about wiring compatibility? Most vehicles with standard lighting accept the universal loom, but cars with CAN‑BUS or LED setups can be picky — ask your dealer or fitter if in doubt. Got twin exhausts or an aftermarket system? Mention it when enquiring, as clearances can vary. And if you want extra peace of mind for long trips, the high‑tensile bolts and EC approval are reassuring signs that this is built to last.
In short, the UmbraRimorchi fixed flange towbar is a no‑nonsense, heavy‑duty solution for Ford Ranger owners who want reliable towing without the usual faff. Tough, well tested and ready to get the job done.
