Fiat Doblo Towbars

Fiat Doblo Towing Specifics

The Fiat Doblo was first introduced in 2000 by the Italian manufacturer as a panel van, designed with plenty of decent towing capabilities. There are currently two generations of the range; 2001-2010 and 2010 onwards. We will cover the towing specifics of this model below.

Fiat Doblo Towbar Electrics Kits

It is recommended that all tow bars fitted to a Fiat Doblo vehicle are done so with a dedicated electrics kit, rather than a universal electrics kit. A dedicated electrics kit not only ensures all modern features such as; trailer stability and parking sensors are functional but also helps to keep your vehicle's warranty unaffected.

We offer both universal and dedicated electrics kits for the Fiat Doblo vehicle towbars, but be aware that universal electrics kits can invalidate any manufacturer warranty your vehicle has and may also require a bypass relay.

Check your Fiat warranty for more information.

Bypass Relays

All 2001-2010 tow bars for all the Fiat Doblo models will not require a bypass relay if universal electrics are fitted.

All 2010 onwards tow bars for all the Fiat Doblo models will require a bypass relay if universal electrics are fitted.

A bypass relay works by powering what it is you are towing through transferring power straight from the battery instead of taking too much current away from your vehicle.

Whereas a dedicated system works in harmony with your vehicle's ECU and all of its functions.

Coding

This is the coding of the ECU to accept the dedicated system, this updates your vehicles software to run smoothly with the new towbar. All Fiat Doblo vehicles will not require coding.

Coding is used to update your vehicles software in order for it to run coherently with the new towbar through the dedicated electrics.

Bumper Cuts

Depending on the towbar, Fiat Doblo vehicles may require a bumper cut. A bumper cut is when a fraction of the vehicle's rear bumper is cut in order to fit the towbar.

All Fiat Doblo 2001-2010 models have towbars that require non-visible and visible bumper cuts.

All Fiat Doblo 2010 onwards models have towbars that require visible, non-visible and no bumper cuts.

Nose Weight

Nose weight is the amount of weight pushing down on the tow ball, it is important not to exceed the nose weight set on the tow bar, failure to do so could damage the car chassis and/or tow bar mounting points. Nose weight varies depending on the towbar you choose and are displayed under each tow bar below.

All Fiat Doblo 2001-2010 models have a nose weight of 60kg up to 90kg.

All Fiat Doblo 2010 onwards models have a nose weight of 60kg up to 100kg.

Towing Weight

Towing weight is the weight that a Fiat Doblo vehicle can tow safely, without any risk of damaging the vehicle. Towing weights are bar specific and displayed below each towbar.

For a Fiat Doblo vehicle made 2001 to 2010, the towbars have a towing weight capacity of 1100kg up to 1300kg.

For a Fiat Doblo vehicle made 2010 onwards, the towbars have a towing weight capacity of 1000kg up to 1500kg.

You will need to check the towing limit for your Fiat Doblo vehicle model as it may not be able to tow up to the weight limit that the tow bar can tow.
