Nissan Patrol Towbar Installation

Nissan Patrol with a towbar professionally fitted by Five Star Towbars
Nissan Patrol with a Redarc brake controller installed by Five Star Towbars

The Patrol is one of the biggest tow rigs on the road, and people buy it to haul serious weight, towing a large family caravan across the state, a big boat to the ramp, a car trailer, or a fully loaded camper into remote country. This is the heavy end of towing, where a strong, correctly rated setup is not optional. Our mobile tow bar fitting Melbourne team comes to you at no extra charge, so there is no wrestling a big wagon into a workshop bay.

Towing big loads means the bar, tongue and hitch all have to suit the weight you are pulling, and the wiring has to handle a large caravan's lights and electric brakes reliably. The Patrol also carries plenty of factory electronics that a poor install can upset, so we fit and wire each one to its own build and keep everything ADR compliant and warranty-safe. With loaded weights well over 750kg, an electric brake installation is a legal requirement, and we fit one on the same visit. Call us on 1300 787 008 for an upfront quote with no hidden fees.

I stopped by with a job that I needed some advice on. Turns out on spare of the moment they were able to advise AND do the job and thoroughly! What I thought in my mind was going to be a bigger job, they knocked over easily in less than 2hrs. Extremely happy and relieved to have my towbar problem solved! 💪 Five Star for a reason

I would like to say a BIG thank you to Five Star Towbars, Luke Anthony and Kane.
I had a Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Electric Trailer Brake Controller system installed on my car.
They were right on time they're professionalism and customer service is top notch and nothing but the best 👌. When i aked Luke how long it'll take a couple of hours and that was exactly how long it took. Anthony and Kane took great care with my CLUBSPORT and ran through everything with me to familiarize the system and if i had any follow ups don't hesitate to contact them 😊. I highly recommend Five Star to anyone looking at having anything trailer wise done on their vehicle 😀.
Response from the owner:Thanks Peter, we are thrilled you had such a great experience with Luke, Anthony and Kane. We appreciate you sharing the details and recommendation, and we will pass your kind words on to the team. If you have any follow ups about the system, we are here to help.

Highly recommend FiveStar Towbars. Luke was great to deal with and organised the job, and Mark, the installer, was extremely professional.

My Hyundai Kona has a build date right around the model changeover, which meant the towbar originally supplied turned out not to be the correct fit. Mark arrived at the agreed time, identified the issue straight away, then went to another supplier to source the correct towbar, came back and completed the installation without any fuss.

Once finished, he connected up the portable test trailer lights and tested all the lights to show me everything was working correctly.

Excellent service from start to finish, professional installation, great problem-solving, and the convenience of having the whole job done at my home.

Very happy with the result and would highly recommend Luke, Mark and the FiveStar Towbars team.
Response from the owner:Thanks Jeff, we’re thrilled you had such a positive experience. We’ll pass your kind words on to Luke and Mark — they’ll be pleased to hear this. Glad Mark could source the correct towbar, complete the install at your home and confirm everything was working perfectly. Thank you for recommending FiveStar Towbars; we appreciate your support and are here if you need anything in the future.

Five Star Tow Bars were absolutely brilliant! They installed electric brake controllers in two cars and one of our trucks where they came to the site we were working. They then also attended our yard a week or so later and serviced 5 of our trailers. They have everything working great and the team on site were fantastic explaining what they were doing and any works they also recommended to be done. I have great peace of mind for the business now for all our towing. We will be using them going forward and would highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the fantastic five-star review and for trusting Five Star Tow Bars with your vehicles and trailers. We're thrilled our team could install the electric brake controllers onsite and service your trailers while clearly explaining the work and recommendations. It’s great to hear you have peace of mind for your business towing needs and that you’ll be using us going forward. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to supporting you whenever you need us.

Got a towbar install. I called 10 providers some quoted up to double for same service as these guys. They also had the fastest turnaround time.
Don't bother calling others just dial Five Star Towbar.

Very reasonable price and extremely professional!
I visited many shops before and none of them could install a brake controller.
Even Toyota told me they couldn’t do it — I couldn’t believe it.

Five Star Towbars were the only ones who could help, and they did an amazing job.
The price was very affordable, the installation was clean and professional, and the staff were all super friendly and helpful.

Highly recommended!

I had a great experience with Fivestar Towbars. Needed a towbar for my Subaru Outback and found them via Google. The booking was quick and straightforward, the price was very reasonable, and they supplied an Aussie-made BTA towbar which was exactly what I wanted. The installers arrived early, worked quick, and delivered a result that looked spot on. I also appreciated how easily they accommodated the job even though I’m in an apartment and space to work was tight. Everything went smoothly and the towbar looks excellent. Five stars from me!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review Andrew!
Happy towing travels.

Absolutely incredible work from these guys, they saved by butt! I called up with a niche imported car that most other places declined to even consider if they had a compatible solution. These guys asked me to send through some photos, discussed some measurements, and organised a super quick installation at a very reasonable price. Can't recommend them enough! :) thank you!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the awesome review George! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure helping you out with your import, and we’re thrilled to hear you’re happy with the result. We love a challenge, and it’s great when everything comes together smoothly. Thanks again for choosing us — we’re always here if you need anything in the future!

Had a BTA towbar installed on a new CX5 about a month ago.

Installers were arrived on time and were polite and efficient. They demonstrated that wiring harness was functional and also disabled the auto reverse braking and sensors when the job was done.

It would have been nice if they plugged the dashcam fuse taps back in when done but that’s not worth knocking a star off.
Response from the owner:Hey Brett
Thanks for the review. Apologies for the Dashcam plug, will mention to our guys to avoid in the future.
