I've just purchased a 2019 Kia Sorento KX3 and have booked it in at the local tow bar fitting company who have fitted a tow bar to the Land Rover Freelander I previously drove. I said I wanted a fixed tow bar rather than a detachable and was given the standard warning that with rear parking sensors there is a risk that they will be set off by the tow bar when the caravan is not attached. Can anyone who has had, or has currently got, a Sorento of this age advise if they have had any issues with a fixed tow bar?

Never hard that on the numerous tow vehicles, must be better than needing it seems a kneeling pad to save your knees when fitting the det hook

I have never had the need to go down on my knees to fit a detachable tow bar

Bend legs, insert, click all done.
