I've always wanted to say that Wink

For a tow bar...Should I get a Flangeball or a Swan neck?

Will they both fit trailers?

Cheers

the ball is the same size, swan neck generally looks neater, but is often more expensive. removeable ones are often pricey.

Bear in mind that modern trailer electrics are now 13pin rather than 7 pin connectors. I would (personally) get the 13pin wired on to a car as more future proof and if your trailer/lighting board has 7 pin then rewire that or use an adapter cable..

Check if you get a swan neck where the electrics socket will go, I am not a fan of them being slung underneath and suject to more water/dirt/roadsalt and debris... which is a "for" arguement for flange variety I guess...
