Features to know about

Haul Small Loads Without the Hassle: Class I Strength for Light-Duty Towing

Perfect for small trailers, utility haulers, or a cargo basket, this hitch has a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening and is rated for 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. The sturdy, square-tube design and fully welded steel construction make it solid for everyday use. Whether you’re pulling a small camper or attaching a cargo rack, it’s built to handle light towing with confidence.

Make the Most of Your Space: Mount Racks and Carriers with Confidence

Bike racks, cargo platforms, or other 1-1/4" accessories fit right into this receiver. The hitch includes a concealed cross tube, so it tucks neatly underneath for a clean look. You get the utility you need without an awkward, bulky setup hanging below the bumper.

Install It Yourself in an Afternoon: Bolt-On Fit with Complete Hardware

This hitch is designed for an easy DIY installation. The bolt-on design means no welding is required and everything lines up where it should. The complete hardware kit and installation instructions come in the box, so you can get it mounted using tools you already have.

Keep It Looking Good for the Long Haul: Durable Finish That Fights Corrosion

A gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat gives the hitch superior rust resistance. It holds up against weather and road grime while keeping a clean appearance under your bumper. Once installed, it looks sharp and stays that way through the miles ahead.

2019 Mini Clubman

The hitch itself fit well. According to the install instructions provided here and the review, this is listed as a more challenging level of install. While I don't disagree, I think better instructions would enhance the installation experience.
While installing the most challening part is understanding how the fender trim moulding is attached so one can loosen it and remove as necessary for access to the bumper cover retainers. The instructions were not clear in providing this information, as there are two different types of retaining clips on this trim, and it is possible to damage the trim or clips if you do not understand how they are assembled.
The same is true for the bumper cover itself, simply prying out and forward was not exactly good guidance as it was not as simple as that. It took quite a bit of force on the leading edge of the bumper cover pulling pretty much straight back. The reason? Again it has to do with the little lip at the top edge of the bumper cover corner that wraps around to the fender. If I had known how that actually attached, it would have made the removal process easier, and would have minimized the chance for damage to paint or plastic bits.
After that it's pretty easy other than not having the right deep well socket I needed, but can't blame that on anyone here! Fit was great, feels solid!
The only other comment is rembmer when the hitch is installed, the bumper plate will now be a little bit further out so the fastners in the center of the bumper cover are a little more difficult to install as everything is more "compressed" if you will.
All in all, good product, could use more pictures (and make some of the included pictures in the instruction visible-some were quite dark even when viewed on a computer screen it was difficult to ascertain what was trying to be relayed in the image).

2016 Mini Clubman

I took my mini clubman 2016 to the mini dealership. As per the dealership they were very satisfied with the product. For them it was easy to add the hitch and I paid less for the assembly than what I was quoted. The dealership will recommend this product to other customers who would like to have a bike rack on their car.

by: Barry 09/11/2020

Hitch arrived on time and in great condition. Installation instructions included were easy to follow and comprehensive. This is not my first positive experience with E-Trailer! I have purchased other hitches and products from them and have been 100% satisfied!

Mini Cooper

Ordering was easy, shipping notifications are second to none and explain where my order is at every step. The tracking shows a little map of my item moving from etrailer to my home.

The etrailer directions for the install on my Mini Clubman where very detailed. That was important to me as installing the hitch on a mini can be intimidating. I thought I could do it in less than an hour, but it took 1.5 hours from start to cleanup.

The hardest part was removing the Mini Cooper Bumper shell, but if you move slowly it isn’t too difficult.

Thanks!

The hitch arrived when promised. It looked like a quality product. Gathered all required tools and with assistance of a body shop repair owner & retired mechanic we attempted install on 2018 Mini Clubman. After 2 hours of attempting to follow directions we gave up. Local Mini dealership wouldn’t even attempt to install it for me. Not happy.

This hitch is one of the most difficult to install. Was there a step in the instructions that you were having the most trouble with? I am happy to offer any help I can.

I guess the main issue with my model/year is that there are numerous trim pieces which have to be removed in order to do the install. Some of these pieces are one use trim parts, in other words plastic clips have to be replaced after removing the piece.

Super easy install. Had it installed less than 2 hours. The instructions make it pretty easy. If I can do it any body can. Just takes time and patience

Took about an hour to install. Everything was easy enough. The most difficult part is removing the fascia and bumper without damaging any of the clips. Great product with spot on directions!

How Much Ground Clearance Does the Curt Hitch C11524 For a 2017 Mini Clubman Provide
I spoke with Curt about the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11524 for your 2017 Mini Clubman S and they informed me that the receiver tube sits right up underneath the bumper. The distance from the bottom of the bumper to the bottom of the receiver tube is 2". That said, I don't have any distances from the ground because this can vary by trim level and how much of a load is in the vehicle. I have attached an install photo for you as well.

Recommended Bike Rack that Fits a Mini Cooper S Class I Hitch and a 2024 Volvo XC60 Class III Hitch
Hey Ted. The only bike racks that fit a 2017 Mini CooperS Clubman are hitch and roof mounted. The Saris Bones 2 item # SA805BL you were looking at does not fit your vehicle and there are no other comparable options that install this way. The easiest way to transport a pair of bike's with a 2017 Mini CooperS Clubman is to install the Curt Hitch item # C11524. This class I hitch is custom fit and bolts to your car with included hardware. Please note it does not fit John Cooper Works models. For...

Best Option for Carrying Two Bikes on 2016 Mini Clubman S
Because of the spoiler atop the rear hatch of the 2016 Clubman S, none of our bike rack manufacturers offer a trunk mount rack that'll work, as the spoiler isn't strong enough to support the weight of the rack plus the bikes without sustaining damage. I'd recommend a hitch mount bike rack. You'd begin by installing the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11524. This hitch works great, especially for folks that don't want to see an ugly hitch hanging off the rear of the vehicle. When installed,...

How to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2016 Mini Clubman
Bike rack # TH9043PRO mounts in a trailer hitch receiver. That means you need to have a trailer hitch, like the Curt # C11524, installed on your 2016 Mini Clubman. However, this trailer hitch is a Class I hitch and Class I trailer hitches are limited to 2 bikes maximum. The issue is not the weight but how far that weight is from the trailer hitch. Three or more bikes puts weight too far from the receiver and it can damage the hitch and vehicle. You can carry 2 bikes using the above mentioned...

How Does Stabilizer Strap 18050 Get Used with Curt Hitch on 2016 Mini Clubman
I attached a video that shows how the stabilizer strap part # 18050 gets used typically to when carrying a bike rack. There isn't a hard and fast rule on how much support the strap has to provide but you really just need to come up with the best way for your application and as long as it's "in use" you are fine.
