Second Hand Nissan NP300 Towbar

Yes, towbars are a genuine factory-fit and aftermarket option on the Nissan NP300 Navara, which is a pickup truck with a separate chassis — making it well suited to towing and towbar fitment. Used towbars from dismantlers are a legitimate and commonly sourced part for this vehicle. When requesting quotes, confirm whether you want a fixed, detachable, or swan-neck style, as breakers will often have the specific type that was fitted to the donor vehicle.

The NP300 Navara was introduced in the UK around 2015 and received a facelift in 2019, and while the underlying D23 platform remained the same throughout, rear body and chassis mounting points can vary between pre- and post-facelift builds. The generation boundary is an important one here, so confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle's year matches yours before purchasing. Never assume a pre-2019 towbar will bolt straight onto a post-2019 facelift truck without checking the registration details against the part.

Trim level does not affect towbar fitment on the NP300 Navara — the chassis mounting points are the same regardless of whether you have a Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, or Tekna. What can differ between trims is rear bumper styling, so if the towbar came fitted with a bumper cut-out bracket or the donor vehicle had a different bumper profile, there may be cosmetic differences to manage. The towbar itself should be the same across trims, but confirm the exact configuration with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

No — engine choice and whether your truck is two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive do not affect towbar fitment, as the tow hitch mounts to the chassis which is consistent across NP300 Navara variants. Whether you have the 2.3-litre twin-turbo or single-turbo diesel makes no difference to the rear chassis mounting. Focus instead on the model year and body style when sourcing a used towbar from a breaker.

The King Cab (extended cab) and Double Cab versions of the NP300 Navara share the same chassis platform and rear-end architecture, so in principle the towbar mounts to the same points on both body styles. However, because the rear overhang and bed configuration can differ slightly between cab styles, it is worth confirming with the breaker that the donor vehicle is the same cab type as yours. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can match the part to the correct configuration.

A used towbar from a fleet or high-mileage NP300 Navara is worth considering, but inspect for signs of stress, corrosion, or repair, which are more common on towbars that have been used heavily for towing. The part itself will be the same item regardless of the donor vehicle's use history. Ask the breaker about the condition and whether the wiring loom or electrics are included, as sourcing those separately can add cost.
