Nissan Navara Towbars Sydney

Which Navara Tow Bar Do You Need?

Navara tow bars are split by model, drivetrain and rear body, so match these details to the product titles above:

• NP300 ute (03/2015–12/2020): separate 2WD and 4WD fitments, rated to 3500kg / 350kg.
• NP300 cab chassis (03/2015–12/2020): tray-back fitment, rated to 3500kg / 350kg.
• Series 5 ute and cab chassis (12/2020 onward): fitments for the updated Navara, rated to 3500kg / 350kg. Selected products need no bumper cut.
• Older Navara ute (01/1986–12/2000): rated to 2800kg / 280kg.
• Trays, canopies and service bodies: aftermarket rear setups can affect clearance, so check with us before booking.

NP300 vs Series 5: Check Your Build Date

The current D23 Navara was sold as the NP300 from 2015, then updated in late 2020 with the Series 5. The two look similar, especially when buying second hand, but their tow bars aren't interchangeable. NP300 bars don't suit the Series 5, and Series 5 bars don't suit earlier NP300s. Check the build date on your compliance plate before ordering.

Navara Warrior

The Navara Warrior is modified by Premcar after leaving the factory, and some Series 5 tow bars don't suit it. If you drive a Warrior, contact us before ordering and we'll confirm a tow bar that fits.

3500kg Towing and Your Navara Payload

Most NP300 and Series 5 tow bars are rated to 3500kg with a 350kg ball weight, but your vehicle's own rating is what counts. Some variants are rated lower, so check your owner's manual.

Ball weight also counts against payload. A work or touring Navara with a tray, canopy, drawers, bull bar and a crew on board may already be close to its Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) before the trailer goes on, and 350kg on the tow ball can push it over. Check your fully loaded weight before you tow heavy.

Heavy Duty Tow Bars vs X-BAR

A heavy duty tow bar suits everyday trade, fleet and highway towing, with a 50mm square hitch receiver and removable tow ball mount. Some fitments need a bumper cut, so check the product notes.

An X-BAR is built for off-road touring and remote work, with improved departure angles, integrated rated recovery points and protected trailer plug mounting. Selected X-BAR ute products include provision for a 12-pin socket. Never recover a vehicle from a tow ball. Use rated recovery points only.

Wiring, 12-Pin Sockets and Brake Controllers

Navara owners often tow more than a box trailer, so the electrics need planning. Depending on your Navara and what you tow, our installers can set up:

• 7-pin sockets for box, trade and work trailers
• 12-pin sockets for caravans and campers
• Anderson plugs for auxiliary power to your van or camper
• Electric brake controllers, required for trailers with electric brakes, which are common on caravans and on trailers over 2000kg

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an NP300 tow bar fit a Series 5 Navara?
No. The NP300 (2015–2020) and Series 5 (late 2020 onward) use different tow bars, so choose one listed for your build date.

Does the Navara Warrior need a different tow bar?
Some Series 5 tow bars don't suit the Warrior, so contact us before ordering and we'll confirm the right option.

Can a Navara tow a caravan?
Yes, many can, provided the loaded van weight, ball weight, GVM, GCM and braking setup all stay within rating. We can help you check before you tow.

Can you fit a tow bar I bought elsewhere?
As a rule, we only fit tow bars supplied by Coldys, so we can guarantee the fit and back the installation for life. If you've already bought one, contact us with the details and we'll let you know if we can help.
