Dacia Logan Towbars

Dacia Logan Towing Specifics

The Dacia Logan was first introduced in 2004 by the Romanian manufacturer as a small family car, offering good towing abilities. The range currently includes a saloon and hatchback model. We will cover the towing specifics of each model below.

Dacia Logan Saloon Electrics Kits

It is recommended that all tow bars fitted to a Dacia Logan Saloon 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 Dacia Logan Saloon 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 Dacia warranty for more information.

Bypass Relays

Tow bars for all the Dacia Logan Saloon onwards 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 Dacia Logan Saloon vehicles made from 2004 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, Dacia Logan Saloon 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.

Saloon models 2008-2013 have towbars that require no bumper cuts.

Saloon models 2013 onwards have towbars that require 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.
