Features to know about

Clean Look Without the Bulk: Completely Hidden Hitch Design

A lot of people want hitch capability without a big chunk of metal hanging off the back. This hidden rack receiver keeps your vehicle’s lines clean. The cross tube sits behind the bumper, and the 2" receiver detaches when not in use, leaving nothing visible. When it’s off, it looks like there’s no hitch at all—just a smooth, factory finish that doesn’t mess with your vehicle’s style or ground clearance.

Quick Changes for Every Trip: Detachable 2" Receiver

When it’s time to carry bikes or a cargo platform, the receiver snaps into place in seconds and locks automatically in the center block. No tools required. When you’re done, unlock and remove the receiver, then plug the opening to keep out dirt and debris. The sturdy stainless steel latching mechanism and integrated lock keep everything secure while you’re on the move.

Built Strong and Ready for Racks: 600 lbs Tongue Weight Capacity

This hitch is made with durable stainless steel construction that resists corrosion and holds up under load. It’s rated for a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs—plenty for bike racks and cargo carriers. It meets SAE J684 safety regulations and mounts using existing points, so it protects your vehicle’s crumple zones without any drilling or welding needed.

Expand Your Setup When You Need More: Upgradeable for Towing

If you later decide to tow, you can upgrade this rack setup with the Stealth Hitches towing kit (part #391CONVA5). The ball mount from that kit slides into the same center block for towing up to a 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight. It’s an easy way to get extra versatility from the same hidden design.

amazing design

Excellent hitch--fit perfectly on a 2023 BMW 540XI
Instructions were easy to follow, it took about 5 hours to install.
The hitch is hidden, easy to access and works well with an electric bike
carrier.



by:

Working out very well for carrying Thule bike rack and 2 comfort style bikes. Only minor issue is the rubber plug has fallen out a couple of times.



by:

took a few hours and is about medium hardness to install. not bad for an average person with some mechanical ability. I would not do it myself if you are not used to working on vehicles. I have used the hitch several times with no issues. I have a BMW that has a hands free trunk opening and it does not interfere with that operation of the vehicle. The hidden receiver can be a bit difficult to get off as you have to be under the car to release it but again par for the course. If you are looking for a blind hitch as I was this is an excellent option.

  • Solution for Using Aventon Bike Rack with Stealth Hitch with Shallow Hitch Tube
    That's a bummer, we might have a solution with the Curt hitch extender part # C45791 as long as your hitch tube has at least 4-1/2 inches from it's pin hole center to back of the tube. Otherwise you'd have to look into a different bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2022 BMW 530i
    The Curt # C11478 Class I hitch you'd looked at is a fit for both 530i and 530i X-drive models, but we also have a concealed receiver model that you might be more interested in. The Stealth Hitch # SH24VR utilizes a removable receiver. You can remove the receiver when the hitch isn't being used to carry your bike rack, which would render the hitch completely invisible from the rear of the vehicle. This alternative is without a doubt more expensive than the Curt # C11478 hitch you'd looked...

  • Does the Curt C11478 Hitch Fit the 2020 BMW 530e Hybrid?
    I checked with our vendors and no one has been able to verify that the hitches for the 2020 BMW 5 series fit the hybrid model 530e. We do have confirmation that the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH24VR fit the 2018 530e and they are the same model. This hitch installs behind you rear bumper cover by removing the factory bumper beam. So long as you do not have any hybrid related add on parts in this area you should be able to install the Stealth Hitch item # SH24VR but there's...

    Any time you install a weight bearing device on a vehicle that rests on a painted surface, there's the potential that the vehicle can be damaged. That's the honest answer. That being said, there are things you can do to greatly reduce the possibility of that occurring. • You'll want to make sure that the surfaces of the bike rack and the vehicle that touch each other are 100% clean and free of dirt and grit.
