Its tailor-made design means it integrates seamlessly with your vehicle's existing framework without any need for welding—just bolt it right in for a flawless fit.

This hitch steps up with a Class III rating, supporting up to 600 lbs tongue weight (TW), 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW), and the same capacities when used with weight distribution. It’s robust enough for your towing needs whether it’s hauling a small trailer, bikes, a boat, or extra cargo.

Stylish Durability: Powder Coated Steel Finish

Sick of rust ruining the look of your ride? The Curt Hitch Receiver is crafted from powder-coated steel, making it both sturdy and corrosion-resistant. Its slick gloss black finish not only enhances aesthetics but also ensures rust and wear are kept at bay—keeping your hitch looking sharp and fresh.

This setup is perfect for those wanting to ensure their trailer lighting and brakes are as top-notch as their towing setup.

Concealed and Sleek Look: Hidden Cross Tube Design

Nobody wants a clunky hitch sticking out, disrupting the sleek lines of their vehicle. The concealed cross tube means this hitch integrates naturally with your BMW X5’s undercarriage, leaving only the receiver visible. It's the ideal choice for maintaining your vehicle's aesthetic while providing the towing capabilities you need.

Easy as possible from start to finish. It was easy to research and select the correct receiver online. Then the Youtube video providing instructions was spot on. installation took approx 2.5 hrs only because I was super cautious removing the bumper. And it looks wonderful!

The reason I bought from you was because of your installation video. The video for the hitch and the electical wiring was the key for me. The hitch works great. Hope you continue with videos to help us DIY'ers.

Trailer hasn't come unattached yet. Installation was not easy on my E70 X5, but that's not the hitch's fault. Great bang for the buck.

  • Hitch, Wiring, Brake Controller, Camera, and Weight Distribution for 2015 BMW X5
    First thing you need to tow a trailer with your 2015 BWM X5 is a trailer hitch like the Curt # 13077 which is mostly hidden and had more than enough capacity for your trailer. Next for trailer wiring you'd want the part # 119250KIT to provide the 4-way lighting functions. To convert to a 7-way and install a brake controller you'd then want the part # ETBC7 with a brake controller like our Brake EVN # TK63VR which is proportional, reliable, and also priced well. For a camera setup for...

  • Hitch Needed to Use Curt Bike Rack with 2014 BMW X6
    As long as you had a hitch installed on your 2014 BMX X6 like the Curt part # 13077 which is a confirmed fit the Curt bike rack part # C18085 would fit and work well. For a tilting bike rack, it's really hard to beat this rack for the money. If you were looking for something entry-level that will still get the job done this would be a really great option!

  • Comparing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75600 and the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13077 for a 2015 BMW X5
    Although the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75600, and the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 13077, are both great hitches that both have a 6,000 lb max Gross Trailer Weight and a 600 lb max Tongue Weight, I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 75600. The reason that I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75600 over the Curt # 13077 is because the Curt hitch requires that you use a stabilization strap, like part # 18050, for any non-trailer loads like bike racks and cargo carriers per the Curt warranty....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2015 BMW x5M
    Hi Matthew, For a 2015 BMW x5M you would need the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e84AR. This is going to replace the bumper beam and just have the receiver tube sticking out for a cleaner look. The installation is a bit involved because removing the fascia on a BMW requires a lot of care but is doable if you're a DIY kind of person. If not, you can use our installer locator (linked below) to find a shop near you to complete the installation. If you're planning on towing a trailer...

  • Replacement Hardware for Curt Hitch on 2012 BMW X5
    Hi Reuben; are you looking for replacement hardware for the Curt # 13077? You can order the complete hardware set, including the rivets, using the # RHK. Alternatively, you could pick up those nuts and washers at your local hardware store. This hitch uses eight NUT,HEX,M12x1.5,CL10.9,YZ and eight WASHER,S-CON,1/2,YZ.

  • How Can I Mount a Kayak Carrier with a Rooftop Cargo Bag?
    I have an answer for you. Since you have Thule AeroBlades that measure 36-38" wide and the Rightline Gear Sport Jr. # RL100S50, that leaves only 6-8 inches for the kayak carrier. We unfortunately do not have a kayak carrier option that is compatible with 6-8 inches of crossbar space. With that being said, the only way to transport a kayak carrier like the Thule Hull-a-Port # TH849000 is to remove the Sport Jr. from the rack. If you still want a bit of roof-top storage space, you can...

  • 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 Hitch Receiver For a 2014 BMW X5 35i Which Does Not Require Removal Of Impact Structure
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75600 is going to be our closest receiver which meets your requirements on your 2014 BMW X5 35i. The Curt # 13077, Draw-Tite # DT36GR (76903), and EcoHitch # EH44FR (X7403) all require the removal of the impact structure which you do not want to remove. The Draw-Tite # 75600 does not require removal of the impact structure but still will require trimming of the rear fascia as all the receivers for your X5. I recommend installing the Curt...

  • Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2017 BMW X5
    The Curt # 13077 and Draw-Tite # 75600 are both at a weight rating where it could be considered a class III or IV. A class III is rated up to 6,000lbs with up to 600lbs of tongue weight. While a class IV is rated higher there is not a specific number that a receiver must have to be a class IV. You do often see receivers which will say class III/IV since they fall into this similar style weight rating where some manufactures will consider it class III while another will rate it as a class...

  • Tow Package For A 3000 lb Boat Trailer On A 2015 BMW X5 28s
    For your 2015 BMW X5 28s I recommend the etrailer class 3 round tube trailer hitch # e84AR. I like our etrailer hitches a lot. They are virtually identical to the Curt brand hitches, but are priced slightly lower. Who doesn't like saving money? The etrailer brand hitches have a matte black coating while the curt brand is a glossy black finish. This hitch is rated for 6000 lbs towing and 600 tongue weight and will be plenty strong for your 3000 lb boat and trailer. With that I also recommend...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2018 BMW X5
    No, the Ball Mount for Stealth Hitches Hidden Receiver Hitch # 391BMU7S is not going to fit your 2018 BMW X5. The only ball mount that fits your Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH52VR would be the one included in the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH98VR. Realistically, the only thing you can do is swap your hitch out with a regular hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13077 and use a ball mount...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit a 2017 BMW X5 with M Sport Package
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13077 will fit on your 2017 BMW X5 with the M Sport Package, but you will need to cut the rear fascia for it to fit. Attached is an install video we did of this hitch on a 2017 X5 but it didn't have the M Sport Package. We did have someone else install this on an X5 with the M Sport Package and I'm attaching the photo they sent in for you to check out. Let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for and I can make some recommendations as necessary.

  • Trailer Hitch and 4-Pole Wiring for 2015 BMW X5 with M Sport Trim Package
    Many of the aftermarket hitches made for your 2015 BMW X5, including part # 87455, will not fit with the M Sport trim package but Curt offers one that does, 2-inch Class III hitch # 13077. This hitch installs without drilling but requires some fascia trimming. All mounting hardware is included and you can refer to the linked instructions for a list of tools you'll need. A video showing installation on a 2016 X5 is also included for you. If you also need a 4-pole trailer wiring harness...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Hitch Install Where Holes Dont Line Up
    We see this on occasion and while its super frustrating the issue is that the hitch got bent in shipping and that's why the holes don't line up. If you can find like an open stairwell or some other way to use leverage to bend it back that is totally fine. As long as the paint doesn't flake or creases don't develop the hitch is fine to use. I attached a help article on this for you to check out as well.

  • Will Fascia Trimming Be Required to Install etrailer Brand e84AR Class III Hitch on 2011 BMW X5
    Per the linked instructions, the etrailer brand # e84AR Class III hitch will require trimming a 4 x 2-1/4 inch piece of the bumper fascia away. I've linked to an install video for the # 13077 hitch which installs in the same manner.

  • Is a Stabilizing Strap Required on a Hitch for 2018 BMW X5
    On the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13077 for your 2018 BMW X5 there is no requirement for the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories # 18050. The strap is recommended for use with bike racks and other hitch-mounted accessories to avoid putting too much strain on your trailer hitch. Some Class I and Class II 1-1/4" hitches may require that you use a stabilizing strap to ensure that the hitch does not experience excessive torque while transporting your gear but...

  • Parts Needed To Tow a Jet Ski Trailer With Electric Brakes Behind a 2016 BMW X6.
    For your 2016 BMW X6 I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13077. This receiver fits all models including the M class. For your wiring the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT will allow you to tie into your factory wiring without splicing any of the wiring on your X6. This will then connect to a 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L. The upgrade kit will allow you to use the Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 for the brakes on your jet ski trailer.

    Good questions, and yes, the Curt hitch and wiring harness will fit your 2012 BMW X5 with the M-Sport package. If you take a look at the cut out I added of a customer review, you can see that the hitch is a fit; so exactly what you need is the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13077 - Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59236 You are correct about the brackets as well, though the 18136 bracket was replaced by a different long bracket; so what you need are the Curt No-Drill Bracket # C57202...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for Towing with a 2013 BMW X5 3.5i
    I recommend going with the Curt trailer Hitch # 13077 and then the Tekonsha ZCI Wiring Kit # 119250KIT for towing with your 2013 BMW X5 3.5i because the Curt hitches tend to have the best welds and thicker powder coats, and then the ZCI wiring keeps you from having to splice into your OEM wiring. To complete a towing setup you also need a ball mount kit. I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900 because it includes two ball mounts, one with a 3/4” rise/2” drop and the other with...

    Getting the running lights to work would require attaching the correct wire on the trailer wiring harness you are using to the correct wire on the 2005 BMW X5. It will be very similar to the video I have linked showing a typical installation of wiring harness # 119250KIT. You will need to either use the included circuit tester with the wiring harness or # PTW2993 if you need one. Then test the taillight wiring to find the correct wire for the running light circuit.

  • E-Bike Rack Recommendation for Gazelle E-Bike Rack for SUV Hitch 2018 BMW X5
    E-bikes are challenging in a few ways for bike racks in ways like you mentioned. The frames are unusual shapes, they are heavy, and they have fenders. This means you need a bike rack that uses unique frame clamps and that have higher weight capacities like the two racks you mentioned. The Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 and the Yakima OnRamp part # Y36FR. Most frame mounted platform bike racks use a single hook that you lower onto the top tube of the bike frame whereas these racks have...
