Tow bar for 2018 Jaguar sportbrake

A quick Google - seems you are correct,Witter say they have one in development so it would be worth giving them a call or maybe a Jaguar dealer. 

Hi, my suggestion would be to find a reputable independent supplier/fitter, as suggested above a quick search is not promising.

My experience has been that there are still many things, such as tow bars for your car, that don't look promising-based on internet searches- till you speak to people who actually know about the subject. 

One thing that you should also check is if the car needs to be 'tow bar prepared', as some do, and it is usually something that is carried out during the cars build. 

Jaguar list two options if you are will to pay OEM prices.   Tow Bar

Just looked it up. Here are prices and details. 

Electric Type

Detachable Type

Not cheap but the prices are "Fitted" and won't affect the cars warranty. 

just had a look at that Milo and here's a section of it.

The XF Sportbrake bespoke towing system is optimised to work alongside the Trailer Stability Assist traction control system. This system detects when a dangerous trailer sway situation is developing and helps to regain control by gradually reducing speed through cutting engine power and applying the brakes.

I was always told that you decelerate and do not use brakes when a sway is detected. A bit misleading I would say.

Stability systems apply braking to individual wheels to recover the situation unlike the driver who can only apply all of them simultaneously. 

I attended a course a few years back run by Knorr-Bremse  about this type of Technology.  Heres a video of it in action.   I'm sure JLR wouldn't use it or make statements that could land them in court after an accident.   

Sorry to the OP for going a little of topic 

Just an interesting footnote about stability systems. The system fitted on trucks and buses that I used to work on can also be connected to the vehicles telematics and any events that the stability system steps in and recovers, data is sent to the company / transport manger.  So no hiding the fact by the driver that he had a near miss whilst on the road.

Give Phil Taylor Towbars in Waterlooville Portsmouth (even if its too far)a ring they have been in business for many years and there isn't much they don`t know about towbars/electrics etc they have always been helpful. See website.

Thanks everyone for your input

Incidentally the cost is about £1500 which includes fitting and a control unit and rear valance!  The electrically deployable one
