A Genuine Factory Option Worth Knowing Before Ordering — Skoda Kodiaq Rear Bumper
If you're ordering a new Kodiaq and think you might want to tow at some point, it's genuinely worth knowing about "Factory Trailer Prep" — a wiring harness pre-installed from the CPU to the rear of the car at the factory, specified as an option on some models. Having this fitted from new saves considerable time and cost later, since a towbar installer or dealer can simply connect into existing wiring rather than running a new harness through the car. If you're speccing a new Kodiaq and towing is even a possibility down the line, asking about this option before the car is built is worth doing.

Skoda Kodiaq Rear Bumper: What It Does
Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the rear bumper on higher trims of the Kodiaq often houses parking sensors, a reversing camera, and sometimes integrated exhaust finishers.
