Second Hand Mercedes-Benz EQS Towbar

The EQS does not have a factory-fitted towbar and Mercedes-Benz has not approved towing for the EQS, meaning no towing capacity is rated for this vehicle in the UK market. As a result, no OEM towbar was ever manufactured or fitted to any variant of the EQS, and you are unlikely to find a genuine used EQS towbar from a breaker. If you need towing capability from a Mercedes-Benz, you may want to look at the GLE, GLS, or E-Class Estate, all of which are available with factory towbars.

While some aftermarket suppliers have explored towbar fitment for the EQS, Mercedes-Benz explicitly does not approve towing on this vehicle and has not published a towing rating for it, which raises serious concerns around warranty, insurance, and structural suitability. Because no OEM towbar exists for the EQS, a used-parts marketplace like Findapart is not the right place to source one — there is no genuine breaker-sourced EQS towbar in circulation. We would strongly recommend speaking to a specialist towbar fitter and checking your insurer before pursuing any aftermarket option.

The EQS SUV is a completely different vehicle on a different body structure to the EQS saloon hatchback, so parts between them are not interchangeable in any case. However, since no factory towbar exists for either EQS variant, this comparison does not lead to a workable solution through a breaker. If you are looking for a used Mercedes towbar, you would need to identify a different Mercedes model that was actually rated for towing.

Trim level is not the relevant factor here — the reason no towbar is available is that Mercedes-Benz has not approved towing for any variant of the EQS regardless of trim, whether that is the 450+, 580 4MATIC, or AMG EQS 53. No trim level of the EQS was sold in the UK with a factory towbar or a published towing capacity. The absence of this part applies across the entire model range.

If you own an EQS and need something tow-related, it is worth double-checking whether you may have confused the EQS with another Mercedes model such as the GLE or E-Class Estate, both of which are commonly found with towbars at UK breakers. Alternatively, if you are looking for a rear-mounted accessory fitting point or a specific trim panel at the rear, a breaker may be able to help once the correct part name is identified. It is worth calling a breaker and confirming your registration so they can advise what rear-end parts are actually available for your vehicle.
