Features to know about

Keep Your Vehicle Looking Clean: Completely Hidden Hitch Design

No one wants a big metal bar hanging under the bumper. This completely hidden hitch keeps your vehicle looking like it just came off the assembly line. The cross tube sits behind the bumper, and the 2" receiver detaches with no tools when you’re done using it. Pop it off and stow it away for a fully concealed look. When it’s not in use, the included plug keeps dirt and debris out of the center block so everything stays protected and clean.

Quick Setup Without the Hassle: Simple Bolt-On Installation

You don’t need to drill or weld anything. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver uses existing connection points, so you can bolt it on and go. The receiver itself attaches or detaches in seconds—just push it into place until it latches, press the side lock, and you’re ready to load up your bike rack or cargo carrier. When you’re done, unlock, twist, and remove. It’s that straightforward.

Strong and Secure for Everyday Gear: 600 lbs Tongue Weight Capacity

Whether you’re hauling bikes to the trail or loading up a cargo basket for a trip, this 2" rack receiver is built to handle it. The sturdy stainless steel construction resists corrosion, while the integrated lock keeps your receiver secure from theft. It has a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs and meets SAE J684 safety regulations, giving you dependable strength every time you mount your gear.

Expand When You’re Ready: Upgrade Path for Towing

If you decide later that you want towing capability, there’s an easy path forward. The center block of this hitch can accept the Stealth Hitches towing kit (SH58QR – sold separately). That kit includes a ball mount with a 2" hitch ball ready for up to 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight. For now, this setup gives you a clean, hidden way to carry racks and carriers without changing how your vehicle looks.

Hitch seems to work great, and when not needing it, easily removed so cannot be seen and the car keeps it sleek lines

    The 7-way wiring portion for the Stealth Hitch # SH56SR on your 2023 BMW iX50 is not available by itself, it has to be purchased in towing kit # SH58QR which includes the ball mount as well. There is not any other ball mount with a different height for your hitch either, what is the coupler height on the trailer you're trying to tow? And how much of a rise/drop are you looking for?
