Second Hand Nissan Leaf Towbar

The Nissan Leaf has never been offered with a factory-fitted towbar, and Nissan explicitly prohibit towing with the Leaf in their owner's manual — the vehicle was never engineered or approved for it, so no genuine OEM towbar exists for any generation or variant. This means there are no used factory towbars being dismantled from Leafs at breakers yards. If you need towing capability, you would need to look at a different vehicle entirely, as the Leaf simply was not designed for it.

While some aftermarket suppliers have produced towbars marketed for the Nissan Leaf, these are not something you would find at a vehicle breaker, as breakers deal in parts removed from scrapped vehicles and no Leaf left the factory with a towbar fitted. If you are looking for an aftermarket towbar, you would need to approach a towbar specialist rather than a used-parts dismantler. Bear in mind that fitting a towbar to a Leaf may void warranty cover and could affect type approval, so it is worth taking professional advice before proceeding.

No results for a Nissan Leaf towbar is exactly what you would expect — Nissan never fitted towbars to the Leaf at the factory, so there are none to be removed and sold on by breakers. Findapart sources genuine used parts from dismantled vehicles, and because this part simply does not exist on the Leaf as a factory fitment, it will not appear in the listings. You may want to consider contacting an aftermarket towbar specialist if towing is genuinely required, though you should verify the legality and warranty implications first.

Any towbar you have seen on a Leaf will almost certainly have been an aftermarket addition rather than a factory-fitted part, meaning it would have been installed by a previous owner rather than Nissan. Breakers supply parts that were fitted by the manufacturer, so these aftermarket additions are not something you would typically find through a used-parts marketplace like Findapart. If you want the same type of aftermarket towbar, your best route is to identify the brand and model of the one you saw and source it through an aftermarket towbar retailer or specialist fitter.

In this case the generation question does not apply, because no generation of the Nissan Leaf — neither the first-generation (2011–2017) nor the second-generation (2018 onwards) — was ever factory-fitted with a towbar. There is therefore no used OEM towbar from any Leaf to compare or cross-reference. If towing capacity is important to you, a different vehicle would need to be considered, as the Leaf's platform was not designed to support a tow hitch.
