All you need to know about towbars for Fiat Ducato
Fiat first introduced the Ducato into their range in 1994. The Fiat Ducato is available as a Chassis Cab, Flatbed, or Van / MPV. So you know you are installing the right towbar on your Fiat Ducato, we have looked at towing capacity, electrical kits, bumper cuts and more for each variation of Fiat Ducato below.
Fiat Ducato Chassis Cab Towbars
The Fiat Ducato Chassis Cab was first released in 1994. To determine which variant of Fiat Ducato you have, check your vehicle logbook. This will ensure you purchase the correct towbar.
Fiat Ducato Chassis Cab Nose Weight
Chassis Cab models made between 1994 and 1999 have a minimum nose weight of 80 kg and a maximum nose weight of 80 kg, between 2002 and 2006 have a minimum nose weight of 80 kg and a maximum nose weight of 80 kg, vehicles made after 2006 have a minimum nose weight of 150 kg and a maximum nose weight of 150 kg.
What does nose weight mean?
Nose weight is the force on the towball when a caravan or trailer is attached. Every towbar for every vehicle will have a specific nose weight for that vehicle which can differ between the age of the vehicle and the variation of the model. It is crucial that you don’t exceed the nose weight set on the towbar as this is dangerous and can decrease stability when towing.
Fiat Ducato Chassis Cab Electric Kits
Electrical kits connect the electrics in your Chassis Cab to the electrics on your trailer, bike rack or caravan so your lights are still visible.
Electric kits for Fiat Ducato Chassis Cab
We would always recommend having a dedicated electrics kit installed, where possible. This syncs with modern computer functions of your Chassis Cab, like ABS and trailer stability, rather than just basic lighting.
Why is a dedicated kit important? Well, not only does it work with the specific features of your vehicle, but it also protects the warranty of your Chassis Cab and works with any enhanced safety features you may have.
Of course, you can choose between a dedicated kit or a universal kit, and we do offer both, but a universal electrical kit can affect your manufacturer warranty and you might also need to install a bypass relay.
Fiat Ducato Chassis Cab Software Update
We will alert you as to whether your Chassis Cab requires a software update when you choose your towbar electrics kit.
Does my vehicle need a software update?
Sometimes your vehicle may need a software update to accommodate your new dedicated electrical kit. This is so all of the latest computer features in your Chassis Cab can accurately co-ordinate with your towbar electrics.
Software updates can take place at your local Fiat dealership when your vehicle is in for service. Or, this can sometimes be updated at your local garage when you arrange towbar fitting through WebFit.
