Aren't they available/legal in the US? I would seriously ditch the tow bar, if having a tow bar meant I would have to have a hideous square pipe sticking out of the bumper at all times.
The European removable tow bar is not legal in the US. It is lacking attachment points for safety chains. Not to mention, they have different ball sizes...60mm versus 2".
