Second Hand Mercedes-Benz EQC Towbar

The EQC is Mercedes-Benz's all-electric SUV, and Mercedes-Benz did not approve or homologate the EQC for towing in most markets, including the UK — meaning the car has no official tow rating and no factory-fitted towbar was ever offered as a genuine Mercedes option for this model. Because no manufacturer-approved towbar exists for the EQC, you are very unlikely to find a used OEM towbar being stripped from a breaker's EQC. If you need towing capability from an electric Mercedes SUV, you may want to look at the EQE SUV or EQS SUV, both of which do have approved towing capacity and available towbars.

A small number of aftermarket towbars were produced by third-party manufacturers for the EQC, so it is theoretically possible a dismantled EQC could have one, but this would be a rare find and would not be a genuine Mercedes-Benz part. If a breaker does list one, confirm the exact fitment by checking the towbar manufacturer's own compatibility data against your registration, as aftermarket fitment can vary even between production runs of the same model. We'd strongly advise verifying any such part carefully before purchase rather than assuming it will fit your car.

Trim level — whether your EQC is an Edition 1, AMG Line, or any other variant — does not affect towbar fitment in principle, since towbars attach to the vehicle's chassis and rear substructure rather than anything trim-specific. However, because no factory Mercedes towbar exists for the EQC at all, this question is largely academic for OEM parts; if you are sourcing an aftermarket unit, the relevant variable is the model year and any changes to the rear bumper or underbody structure, not the trim level.

If you are looking to add some form of rear carrying capacity to your EQC, you may be thinking of a tow-ball-mounted cycle carrier or boot-mounted bike rack, neither of which requires an approved tow rating and both of which have dedicated mounting solutions available for the EQC. Alternatively, if you have seen a towbar-like bracket on a stripped EQC at a breaker's yard, it may be a rear crash structure or tow-eye cover rather than a functional towbar. It is worth describing what you have seen to the breaker so they can confirm exactly what the part is before you buy.
