I have a UR towbar on my Gen3, it fitted perfectly and is very solid. It’s detachable and the bar is not coming out when in use. There is no lock, so I remove he swan neck bar when not in use and store it in a box in the boot well. The towbar site quite high, so doubt it reduces ground clearance much.

I have had factory fit, Towsure and Witter on previous vehicles, all have even equally as good.

If you want to be sure go for a Witter, if they make one for the Gen4.

 I tow a small caravan and had some pain getting a tow bar fitted. The local tow bar specialist used the official harness to keep the warranty valid, however they used an after market detachable swan neck made by Brink. I wanted detachable as if you get a fixed one  and go off roading they become potato digger and they also smash your shins putting things in the back of the car.
Anyhows the Brink towbar very quickly became useless when I offered my caravan hitch to the ball. I could not get the height to engage my Alko anti sway device as the towbar was to short and under the spare tyre. The towbar dealer changed out the towbar for the official Suzuki one which clears the spare tyre and is perfect. The swan neck fits in the SZ5 rear box when not in use.
