Features to know about

Sleek, Factory Look for Your Vehicle: Completely Hidden Hitch Design

You bought your vehicle because you liked how it looked, and this hitch keeps that clean style intact. The cross tube mounts behind the rear bumper so there’s nothing hanging below, leaving only the 2" receiver visible when you need it. When you’re done towing or hauling, the removable receiver unbolts from the hitch for a totally hidden setup that looks like it came straight from the factory.

Get More Utility Without Sacrificing Style: Class III Towing Capability

This hitch gives your vehicle the versatility to tow or carry what you need without changing its look. Rated for 5,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight, it’s built to handle small campers, boats, utility trailers, or hitch-mounted bike racks and cargo carriers. It meets SAE J684 towing safety standards and doesn’t require a weight distribution system—just a strong, reliable mount for everyday use.

Eco-Friendly Strength That Lasts: Durable Alloy Construction

The hitch is made from a lightweight metal alloy that combines aluminum, steel, and stainless steel for strength and long-term durability. These materials are recycled to help limit environmental impact during manufacturing. A black powder coat finish adds corrosion resistance so the hitch can stand up to road salt, moisture, and years of hauling duty.

Simple DIY Setup: Bolt-On Installation with No Drilling or Welding

Installing this hitch is straightforward and doesn’t require special tools or permanent modifications. It bolts directly to factory attachment points behind the bumper, replacing the impact structure for a secure fit. The design keeps everything aligned perfectly with no drilling or welding, making it ideal for a do-it-yourself driveway install or a quick job at a local shop.

Heavy duty quality and easy to install. Hitch as received was partly out of the box from shipping.
by:
2017 BMW X5
I had the Ecohitch Stealth hitch receiver installed on our 2017 BMW X5 right away by my independent BMW mechanic, who had no issues performing the task. I chose not to do it myself because installation was more involved than other hitches I've experienced (this one required removing the bumper system's fascia and replacing the factory cross member). I use the hitch only for a cargo platform. Together, they have exceeded my expectations for carrying inflatable kayaks (uninflated) and for moving my daughter about 1000 miles: they are plenty sturdy and very capable!
by:
Perfect Hitch for my BMW F15. The best part is the stealth mode when it's not being used. Highly recommend!
by:
2015 BMW X5
I’ve been using the etrailer hitch behind my 2015 BMW X5 35d for about a month and it’s worked great. I’ve towed a handful of small trailers with it and regularly haul my dirtbike on a hitch rack and it is nice and sturdy. The cable loops are a little tricky to latch on to but that’s because they are well hidden. I like not having a big ugly hitch sticking out the bottom. Install was very straight forward and everything fit well.
by:
2016 BMW X5
I kind of rushed my decision with this trailer hitch as I should have done more research for my 2017 X5. Having checked the specs of other hitch models after the fact, the 5000lbs tow limit is unimpressive. For another $[XX] I could have jumped to the Stealth Hitch which has 1000lbs more at 6000lbs. You can use it to tow a couple of trackbikes or other lighter weight for lower duty stuff but for towing cars this hitch will not do the job according to specs - which I don't understand why since there is a lot of metal in the construction. Better off with the Curt model or the Stealth hitch models.

Arrived on time. All parts were included and no damage during shipping.
I would order from these guys again.

Thanks

Awesome hitch easy to install. Installed on my BMW X5. No bumper modifications needed. Like the ability to remove the hitch for the winter.

by:
2013 BMW X5
Instructions aren’t quite correct for the 2013 BMW X5. You don’t need to take off the tail light assembly, there is only 1 screw behind the reflectors, there are 4 pop rivers in the fender wall and there are plastic caps on the top 2 posts of the impact bar on both sides that need to be removed to access the nuts. Also you need to cut out the underside of the underside bumper fascia a bit-where you cut is not seen unless you are under the car though.

Overall great product and easy install.

Other than that, great product and easy to install!
by:
Great product. Installation went easily and it is nice that no modification was needed to my SUVs bumper-

It’s heavy and arrived in a mashed up box that looked like it had been through battle. Packaging could be more robust to protect this heavy steel fabrication.

  • 2016 BMW X5 XDrive40e Trailer Hitch Recommendation
    The trailer hitch fits we offer for your 2016 BMW X5 without the M package would be what you'd want for your Xdrive40e model. For that I really like the Draw Tite you mentioned part # 75600. This is a mostly hidden trailer hitch with great towing capacities. If you'd prefer a totally hidden hitch when not in use the EcoHitch part # 306-X7265 is the way to go. When not in use you simply take out the attachment for the hitch opening and it's totally out of sight.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2016 BMW X5 Using a Vertical Bike Rack
    Hey Joe. Our etrailer Hitch item # e84AR will indeed handle a 3-bike platform bike rack without any supporting strap, however it is not rated for a vertical bike rack. Instead you'll need the EcoHitch item # EH44FR if you have backup sensors or item # 306-X7265 if you do not. The EcoHitch item # EH44FR and item # 306-X7265 are custom fit for the 2016 BMW X5. These hitches are rated to be used with vertical bike racks like the VelociRax so long as you stay below the tongue weight capacity....

  • Where To Have EcoHitch Installed On a 2016 BMW X5
    The correct EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2016 BMW X5 is part # 306-X7265 for models without backup sensors or part # EH44FR for models with backup sensors. In regards to installation, we recommend local RV dealers who have a service center as they will be the most experienced with trailer hitch installations. That said, we are not able to offer specific locations as the manufacturer does not provide us any.

  • Will the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2016 BMW X5 40e
    The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7265 for models without backup sensors or part # EH44FR for models with backup sensors will fit all models of a 2016 BMW X5 expect for those with the M performance package. In regards to installation, these options both require the removal of the rear bumper but this is what allows for the hidden, sleek install look so it's the best option.

  • Which EcoHitch Stealth Hitch Fits 2013 BMW X5 E70
    Hey Dave, since you have the E70 2013 BMW X5 the correct EcoHitch you'd need is actually the part # 306-X7265 as the other part number does not fit the E70. What do you plan on using the hitch for?

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2015 BMW X5 with M Package- not Performance M
    I talked to my contact at EcoHitch and the determining factor with this is whether or not your M package includes the backup sensors or not. If you do not have the backup sensors on your 2015 BMW X5 the ECO-hitch # 306-X7265 will work for you. If your X5 with the M package includes the backup sensors you won't be able to use the ECO-hitch so you need to go with the Curt # 13077 which has been confirmed for use on the 2015 BMW X5 M Sport or M performance. This hitch recommends that the...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2017 BMW X5
    For trailer wiring for your 2017 BMW X5 we have universal style wiring kits but the best option is the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT as it does not require any splicing to the vehicle wiring to install. Instead it uses sensors that you attach to the wires to get the correct signal. We had the chance to install this kit on a similar 2015 X5 as yours, which I attached an install video to this page for you to check out.

  • Which EcoHitch Fits 2016 BMW X5 with Back Up Sensors
    We have a version of the EcoHitch that fits your 2016 BMW X5 that was designed for versions of the vehicle that have the backup sensors with part # EH44FR. This would be your best option and gives you ability to remove lower hitch opening when not towing for a totally hidden look. Thanks for the picture of your vehicle too as that's enough for us to know that it is the correct body style for this hitch.

  • How To Mount a Trailer Connector To A EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    In order to mount a trailer connector onto the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7265 you can use the Eclipse Magnetic Mounting Bracket part # 306-X6019 if you have a 4-way trailer connector or the Eclipse Magnetic Mounting Bracket part # 306-X6020 if you have a 7-way trailer connector. This will provide you with a secure option to mount your trailer connector and you will not have to do any drilling into the hitch or vehicle for this because the mounts are magnetic.

The EcoHitch # 306-X7265 fits 2018 X5 models without the backup sensors, except M performance models. The Stealth Hitch # SH79VR hitch you'd looked at fits all models except the M performance.

  • Recommended Trailer Towing Setup for 2018 BMW X5
    The hitch I recommend for your 2018 BMW X5 is the USA-made Curt Class III model # 13077. I like this hitch because it offers the highest available weight rating of 600-lbs tongue weight and 6000-lbs towing weight. A small ultra-light teardrop trailer will be well within the X5's maximum towing capacity of 5952-lbs. I linked both the written instructions and an install video to show you the process. All required hitch hardware is included. For a 4-pole flat type wiring harness to power...

    We do have a trailer hitch receiver fit for your 2016 BMW X5 40e hybrid, but I checked with Stealth Hitches directly, and they do not have a fit for your specific year, make and model. What you can use instead is a hitch from EcoHitch, that does fit your '15 X5 40e, and also has a removable receiver just like the Stealth Hitches option. There are two different EcoHitch options, with the right one depending on if you have backup sensors or not on your '16 X5: - WITH Back-Up Sensors: EcoHitch...

    I would be happy to help you set up your 2018 BMW X5 35D with both a 7-way and a brake controller. Lets start with the 7-way. We will need two separate parts to get your BMW set up with a 7-way harness. The first part you will need is a Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56190KIT.

    Assuming that your vehicle has the M Sport trim package but isn't the M or the M performance model, both the EcoHitch # EH44FR for vehicles with a back up sensor or # 306-X7265 for vehicles without the back up sensor and the Stealth # SH85VR would work great for your X5. If the 5000 lb capacity of the EcoHitch would accomplish your needs, there's really no reason not to go with the EcoHitch. Both EcoHitch and Stealth have great reputations for their excellent quality, and as you said,...

  • Should I Use Eco-Hitch To Tow 3,000 Lb Trailer With 2015 BMW X5
    Since your trailer's dry weight is 4,000 lbs I do not recommend to use a the EcoHitch - 2015 BMW X5 part # 306-X7265 because your tongue weight before the trailer is even loaded could be between 400-600 lbs. I recommend to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit part # 75600 which will allow you a 600 lb tongue weight but that is still probably not going to be enough for the 17-20 RV trailer considering once you have it loaded the tongue weight will be more.
