Detach & Defend

Detach & Defend™ Removable Tow Bar System

Trailer Security, Reinvented by Liberty Trailers

Most trailer owners rely on coupler locks or detachable couplers to prevent theft—but those solutions can be defeated by anyone with bolt cutters or a spare coupler. It’s time for something better.

At Liberty, we didn’t want another “add-on gimmick.” We engineered a serious security system into the trailer itself. Meet the patented Detach & Defend™ Tow Bar System—a fully removable, heavy-duty tow bar that eliminates the main way that thieves can steal your trailer- the coupler.

How It Works

1. Slide It Out

The entire tow bar assembly—including the coupler and adjustable channel—slides out of a built-in receiver tube in the trailer’s tongue.

2. Take It With You

Remove the tow bar completely when parking the trailer. No coupler = nothing to latch onto.

3. Lock the Defender Shield

Insert the steel Defender Shield plate in its place and lock it with a standard hitch pin or hitch lock.

4. Peace of Mind

With the system installed, thieves can’t tow what they can’t connect to.

Built Strong. Tested Tough.

This isn’t a compromise on strength. The Detach & Defend™ system is:

  • Built from heavy-duty materials and designed to withstand real-world use
  • Rigorously tested for safety and durability
  • Secured using proven hitch-pin technology, the same standard trusted across the towing industry
