Features to know about

Keep Your Vehicle Looking Clean: Completely Hidden Hitch Design

Nobody wants a bulky metal bar hanging under their bumper. This Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver stays tucked away behind the bumper so the cross tube never shows. When you’re not towing, you can remove the ball mount or 2" receiver for a totally concealed look. It keeps your vehicle lines smooth and unaltered while still giving you the strength to tow or haul gear when needed.

Switch Between Towing and Racks in Seconds: Detachable Attachments

Whether you’re heading out with bikes or pulling a small trailer, this setup makes swaps quick and simple. The sturdy center block lets you pop in the included ball mount or receiver attachment without any tools. Tight tolerances keep things solid with no rattling, and an integrated lock helps protect against theft. The ball mount handles up to 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight, while the 2" receiver handles hitch-mounted accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers.

Ready to Tow Right Away: Complete Towing Kit Included

This hitch doesn’t just stop at the mount—it includes everything you need to hook up your trailer. The 4-way flat trailer connector powers trailer signal lights and connects directly to the battery to avoid overloading your vehicle’s electrical system. Safety chain loops are built in, and the ball mount has an 18" rise from ground to top of ball with a 10" length from center of ball to center of peg. It meets SAE J684 towing safety regulations, so you can haul confidently right from the start.

Stealth Hitches trailer wiring harness kit including 4-way connector, fuse holder, and wires for connection to vehicle electrical system.

Built Strong for Everyday Use: Stainless Steel and Powder Coat Finish

From its stainless steel construction to its black powder coat finish, every part is designed to last and resist corrosion. The hitch keeps ground clearance intact and doesn’t block foot-activated trunk sensors. It installs with a simple bolt-on process using existing connection points—no drilling or welding required—so you can get it on and start towing without altering your vehicle’s structure.

I tow motorcycles and go karts in a 6x10 enclosed with my 2011 328i and this hitch. It is nice that I can just disconnect the hitch and it looks like it was never there. No problems so far and definitely worth every penny

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2015 BMW xDrive 328i
    Hi Milton, yes, we do have a couple of hitch options for your 2015 BMW xDrive 328i. Out of the options, I recommend going with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH33VR. This hitch is completely hidden, so it sits behind your bumper, has a 3,500 lb towing capacity, and includes a towing kit so you could tow as well if you wanted to.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2008 BMW 3 Series Coupe
    Hi Andrew; the Curt Hitch # C11033 fits the 328xi Sedan and 335xi Sedan. If you have the 328i, 328xi, 335i, or 335xi Coupe the only option is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH94VR. What will you be using the hitch for? If you plan on towing then you will need the # SH78VR with the towing kit.

  • Roof Rack for 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe and Hitch for 2012 BMW 328i Convertible
    Hi Alberto; the situation with the wiring harness has not changed. There are still no plug and play options available. For a roof rack that fits your raised rails I recommend the Yakima JetStream system. You will need the TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR along with the 60" Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426. I like this roof rack since it is extremely quiet compared to others. You're always going to have added noise when you put on a roof rack so any noise reduction is a...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2011 BMW 328i Convertible
    I may have a solution for you, but the Curt # C11033 is only a confirmed fit on the 328xi Sedan and the Draw-Tite # 24857 is only a confirmed fit on the 328i Sedan, so these hitches won't work for you; the bumper isn't necessarily the deciding factor on fit and the more important factor is the frame of the vehicle and the available attachment points. The only hitches that we have confirmed as a fit on the 2011 BMW 3 Series convertible like your 328i are the Stealth Hitches # SH78VR (for...

    The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH94VR, which is a fit for a 2007 to 2013 BMW 3 Series Convertible (excluding the M3), will weight a little over 42 pounds and ships in a box measuring 41" x 12" x 8".
