Hi, looking for an opinion on my factory fit electric towbar. Is this an Alko towbar? Apologies image loaded upside down!

That should be fine, I have a removable Towtrust swan neck towbar on my Superb.

An Alko hitch will fit any swan neck towball, it's only when you have a flanged towball you have to have the Alko extended towball, on a normal flanged towball the Alko hitch can prise itself off when moving.

Also remember to remove the paint from the ball as it will contaminate the Alko friction pads if you don't

Thanks, that's very useful!

Alko hitch works fine on the factory fitted electric tow ball. It clears the rear bumper easily. Has others have said, clean all the paint off, also make sure you carry some abrasive strips as even if you use a ball cover, it will get surface rust on when tucked away. The 13 pin connection work exactly as it should do, everything connects.
