Reisen mit und ohne Anhänger
Explanation:
touring is generally 'reisen' (as in Reiselimousine - touring saloon/sedan or long-distance saloon/sedan)

towing is 'mit Anhänger fahren'

here, how about 'Reisen mit und ohne Anhänger'

BTW, 'Anhänger' covers trailers, caravans boats etc.

alles für Reise und Freizeit


Explanation:
I don't think there's such a handy expression to summarize all relevant accessories, but maybe "alles für Reise und Freizeit" might do the trick, or if you have to be more precise, something like: Anhängerkupplungen, Dachgepäckträger, etc.

Or if it needs to be more "marketing" language

the wide range of Vauxhall towing and touring equipment before the end of August this year.

New car buyers preparing to hitch up their ‘02’ models can choose from a basic fixed ball tow bar priced from £195 depending on model, including fitting and single electrics, a flange ball tow bar from £215 or a detachable tow ball coupling from £310 including fitting and electrics.

For touring holidays there is a roof carrier system suitable for just about every conceivable type of lifestyle activity, specifically designed to fit all models in the Vauxhall range. From a roof-mounted boat carrier or surfboard/windsurf carrier at £40 to a side loading bicycle carrier at £131 and a roof traveller box at £280, Vauxhall touring accessories allow owners to fix everything securely.

Nor are those vital aids to safer summer motoring overlooked. Fire extinguishers, luggage restraining straps, first aid kits, spare bulb kits and warning triangles, Vauxhall’s 2002 Accessory Collection leaves nothing to chance.

And there's a broad range of carrying, towing and touring equipment to match Discovery's ability to go practically anywhere - and carry practically anything.
