srfridley Report post Posted March 19, 2010 I have been towing with a Demco Excalibar tow bar for about nine years. The system has given me no problems and I have accumulated over 50,000 miles towing with this setup on three different vehicles. I have performed the recommended simple maintenance on the tow bar (lubrication and checking fastener torque) periodically. Is there a recommended replacement age for a tow bar, and are there signs, other than obvious weld cracks or damage, that I should be looking for? I currently tow an Acura MDX, and have towed a Honda CRV and a Toyota RAV4 with this setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainkowboy@verizon.net Report post Posted March 19, 2010 You could call the manufacture and ask or maybe have it magnafluxed for cracking. I have had towbars for over 10 years and still use them without issue. As long as you are checking the condition I would think it would be alright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
