Video Transcript for Review of Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch Ball Mount - SH52KR

Hi everyone. Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at our towing kit with ball mount and trailer wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver with a two inch ball. Now folks, this is a custom fit application, meaning, it's going to fit that 2024 through 2026 Kia EV9. and it's going to complete the kit, meaning you must have already a Stealth Hitch Receiver Rack installed on that particular vehicle. And that should be item number SH32KR sold separately.

Now, this again is a custom fit. Make sure you're checking the fit guide here at etrailer.com for correct fitment. Now, what you're gonna get in this kit, you're gonna get the detachable ball mount. So, this will go up and lock in place of that receiver attachment on that stealth hitch receiver. And this will then give you a two inch ball with the capacity of 5,000 pounds gross trailer weight.

This is not rated for weight distribution systems. Again, not rated for weight distribution. And as you can see, it's a nice heavy duty power coated. So, it's corrosion resistant and all those things. You do get a brake controller adapter wire included.

You have mounting bracket that this main seven round or seven way plug would plug into and held in place on the hitch. And then of course, you get the adapter to go down to the four pole flat connector. And that just simply goes right inside of there. And there's a tab inside the hatch and on the mechanism here that keeps it from pulling out. So, you have a tab here and then you have one right on the top of the adapter there.

And that's standard across the trailers and those kind of things. And then of course, you have your wiring to give you the output signals you need for the trailer and everything hooking up so you don't have to cut and splice with anything. And of course, lots of cable ties. You have a double-sided adhesive pads and that would be where you'd want to mount this main module. Now, this is gonna control everything as well. And again, all this plugs in and talks to each other into the car perfectly. You don't have to cut and splice anything and it's gonna communicate with your vehicle's computer, ensuring all your cameras, backup alarms, et cetera, operate normally. And you even get safety chain brackets included as well. Well folks, that is gonna wrap it up for our quick look together. I'm Steven. Thanks so much for watching, and have a great day.

Installation instructions provided, along with youtube videos, helped greatly. I use the towing equipment frequently each week and have received positive remarks from others interested in similar towing arrangements. Installation ended up being easier (and less scary!) than anticipated.

Thanks for taking the time for the great review David! This will be very helpful to others looking to install this, it is always better coming from a fellow consumer. What are you mainly towing with your set-up?

by:
The only trailer kit that would fit on a BMW (convertible). I love trailering my small sailboat with that car and the towing kit is beautifully made. It is removeable (so you can't see that there is a hitch on the car) but it is so elegant and well made that I leave it showing! It is expensive though.
by:
Delivery very good,cable with flat connector too short, it didn't allow me on 18 inches loop, rest of the parts okay. Thanks

Installation was quick and easy. Instructions were fairly straight forward which was a plus
by:
Wiring works like a Charm didn’t came with instructions that why the 3 stars.
by:

the instruction delivered with the package did not match the car it was ordered for. We had to figure it out for two hours how to connect. The overall quality of the product is excellent
by:
2023 Volvo XC60. I bought this and the hitch separately. If you're not used to doing these, like me, the install was actually a fun and easy project, if you take your time to understand how things come apart/go together. I won't know if I did it all right, though, until I have the dealer program the vehicle to accept the new accessory. One pic shows white,braided wire to grounding nut. Another shows where I affixed the module. And another shows the black plug that is to be removed for where the wires will exit the vehicle.
by:
Exactly as advertised. Great instructions specific to my vehicle
by:
This is fabulous! We've been using it for a basket to haul small machinery. Love this thing!!! So easy to have it be discreet when wanted as well.

Its still fabulous after a year! We love this!! Super sturdy. Thank you!

by:
Went on without a hitch! Pun intended. :)

For real though, it's a great kit. I do wonder though, since the 2022 model 3 comes with a towing cable connector already, is the wiring controller necessary?
by:

Worked fine but wiring came with no instructions (got from stealth website) and the thickness of the wires was not compatible with the connectors without a lot of effort to force the splice. Wires much thicker than car wires. Hitch part works great.

I havent used it much h but I love that it is hidden under the car and not the eyesore that the previous stealth socket was. I have towed ni Ely with it when needed and I can use the receptacle if I need to use a hitch mounted bike rack. Having a few wiring issues. But thats it.

by:
I was looking for a hitch that I could tow my motorcycle trailer behind my E92 3 Series 335i. This stealth hitch has the removable quick mount receiver and ball adapter, so that it wouldn’t be an eye sore when I wasn’t towing my bikes to the track.
It works great! I was thinking it would be a loose fit, but the hitch is rock solid! I’ve never pulled more than 1K since the car is so light, but I’m sure it wouldn’t be the hitch that would go out.
It is pricey, but you certainly get what you pay for! Minimal cutting required to the bottom side of the bumper, and it goes in place of the bumper plate. You can only see about 1/8” of the machined receiver under the bumper.
Great product if you need to tow something light with your 3 series!
by:
Great look, no ugly hitch to look at. HIGHEST quality products!
by:
Product works great. Only challenge was determining the correct turn signal and marker light wires without owning a multimeter. However, a couple paper clips, lead wires, and 12v bulb helped confirm the correct wires to splice into.

Note: The wire to pin 1 is for left/right directional. The wire to passenger side pin 4 is for the marker lights.

For connecting the wiring to power, remove the spare tire bracket to access the additional positive battery connections. Attach the black power line here instead of the battery post. For the ground wire, there is a collection of brown ground wires fastened with a crown nut towards the rear wheel well in the rear passenger side fuse compartment area. Attach the ground wire here instead of directly to the negative battery post.

I tested the wiring multiple times through the installation process to ensure all was good before closing it all back up again.

You should have seen the macho Marina crowd as they watched me back my BMW 640 down the launch ramp with a 16 foot boat trailer hanging off the back. Guys were down on their knees looking under the rear of the car. But the best part was when I dropped the hitch and put it in the trunk! Lot' of OOOs and Ahaaas.
by:
I am generally very happy with the design and function of this hitch. Unfortunately the paint started peeling off and rusting within weeks of installation. I keep my cars a long time so I will need to put extra effort into maintaining over time.
by:
The installation instructions were not very clear. The reinstallation of the bumper trim was very hard and to have another person help. That should be included on the instructions to understand the process and have another person available. Bumper trim was very hard to place back on correctly and I still have an edge that is not flush.
by:
Excellent hitch, instructions and videos were easy to follow no issues. Cant wait to install my bike rack and tow something

Hitch worked perfectly and wiring did also. Great fitment.
by:
Fast shipping. Great instructions. Lots of good videos. No problem installing the hitch. Love it.
by:
Etrailer is great, knowledgeable, parts in stock and fast shipping.

Stealth should be ashamed. First I ordered the kit with a two inch receiver. To my great surprise the kit did NOT include attachment points for safety chains. For these I had to order another kit. When it was installed their attachment points did not fit! Shame on Stealth Hitches! Shameless marketing designed to fleece consumers combined with poor fit & QA.

Hey Kenneth. I'm sorry for any confusion our site has caused you. I did see that you ordered part # SH47QR. Stealth Hitch receivers are only rated for tongue bearing applications. Such as a bike rack or cargo basket. For all towing applications you would need to get the towing kit that is specific for the year, make, and model you need it for. If you need anything else, please let me know.

Product was exactly as advertised - works perfect & was also recommended by my local BMW Dealership. Customer service form Alex (x72965) was exceptional!
by:
Easy installation and all is well after one yer of use.
by:
A great Kit. Good instructions. Totally hidden when not in use.
