## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it fit Thule easy fold  XT2?**
A: Hi Yes it will only thing you may need to look at distance of the ball from the vehicle , there is a diagram in the Thule instructions to show this or you can get them by a search online we do sell spacers if you need them 12 25 and 38 mm, but every possibility not need just depends on ball fixing point and rear bumper position, kind regards Andy

**Q: Is this tow bar the same shape as a swan tow bar?**
A: Hi swan neck will be a longer sweep and neck, a bit of googling will show the differences via images kind regards Andy

**Q: How much higher does the higher ball lift the tow hitch?**
A: At least an inch and it angles a little bit away from the car. I bought it to clear the spare wheel on a Land Cruiser with a bicycle carrier.

**Q: Do you need to have installed any kind of kit before attaching this to your car?**
A: Hi you will need a professionally mounted towbar kit with electrics kind regards Andy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant
*by Z***Z on 10 November 2023*

Needed this in a hurry for my new car as the one fitted wasn’t suitable for my hitch. It arrived and I got it fitted by my local auto electrician. Great service and towball fits. In fact it’s the one that the towbar manufacturer witter sends as I ordered one from them but it took ages to arrive - it was the same one as this.
