Features to know about

Clean Look Without the Clunky Hitch: Completely Hidden Design

No one wants a big metal hitch hanging under the bumper. This Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver keeps everything tucked away and out of sight. The cross tube hides behind the bumper, and the receiver or ball mount can be removed with no tools when you’re done towing. Pop in the included hitch plug to cover the opening and keep dirt out. You get a completely concealed setup that looks like it came from the factory that way.

More Ways to Use Your Vehicle: Tow or Carry Gear with One Kit

This hitch is built for both towing and hauling. The 2" x 2" receiver lets you attach a bike rack or cargo carrier, while the included ball mount gives you full towing capability for small trailers. It’s rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 350 lbs. The kit even includes trailer wiring with a 4-way flat connector to power your trailer’s signal lights. Whether you’re hauling bikes, camping gear, or a utility trailer, everything you need is already in the box.

Quick Changes and Secure Fit: Simple Bolt-On Setup

The attachments click into place in seconds and come off just as easily—no tools needed. Tight tolerances keep everything from rattling when starting or stopping, and the integrated lock secures the connection against theft. Installation is straightforward too. It bolts to existing connection points with no drilling or welding required, keeping your vehicle’s crumple zones intact and maintaining ground clearance.

BMW 3 Series

This Stealth hitch was the only one to fit my 3 series BMW Wagon unless I wanted to spend even more than this one and buy one from BMW. This one is very expensive and you need to take apart the rear panel from your car but instructions were straight forward and I took my time and installed it in a few hours. It is an awesome hitch and I am using it right now with a motorcycle rack to haul my vintage Vespa from Las Vegas to San Diego California to my Son's house. The thing I like about it is when I am not using it I remove the receiver and you can not tell I have a hitch on my BMW! Expensive yes but It was the only one made to fit my car and it is well made and works as advertised!

Hitch was easy to install with provided video just followed it step by step. It functions perfectly, is totally hidden when not in use and the ball is kept in the trunk and pulls my 1,000 pound boat no problem.

The wiring was a little tricky but support from entailed was great with getting that fixed… turns out the gray wire with a white stripe is not the same as a white wire with a gray stripe or whatever the colors were. It seemed pricey at first but the money saved by pulling the little boat long distance with a 40 mpg 328d vs. full size truck is already close to paying it off.

I love the hitch as it is well hidden when not in use and is solid and works well when I do need it. It has no draw-bar rattle like my other hitches. The installation for hitch and wiring went well. I have used to pull a 22' pontoon and 20' fiberglass boat. Only drawbacks are 1) it is more expensive than other options (but the hidden feature is worthwhile), 2) The hitch plug that is used to keep out dirt when the hitch is not being used has fallen out (I hear they have a tendency to fall out during cold winters) so I had to order a new one ($10) and am using tape to ensure it does not fall out again. The most challenging part of the installation for my 328xi was trimming the exhaust heat shield. No need to submit a photo because you cannot see the hitch.

Love this. Had my local shop install it on my 2017 BMW 330 wagon (F31), and it's perfect. I only use it for my Kuat bike rack, which I only need on the car a half dozen times a year or so. The wagon is pretty slick - lowered about an inch and carefully tuned - and the Stealth Hitch is totally invisible except when I need the bike rack on it. No installation issues, instructions were clear. Pricey addition to the car, but I'd do it again in a minute.

by: Tony 06/14/2024 One Year Later

Although the directions were really clear, the hitch was a little complicated to install, which included removal of the entire rear bumper section. It was worthwhile though since the hitch frame is completely invisible when not in use. The hitch is solid and works great. I would definitely recommend.

Not a snap to install on my BMW. Probably would have taken 3 - 4 hours. My son did it under 2 hours. It works great. I tow a 2500 lb trailer on mountain roads, no problem and then it disappears when I don’t plan to use it for awhile.

Customer service is awesome. Had to return an order that I messed up. Very easy to deal with.

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.

What Type of Trailer Wiring Comes with Stealth Hitch SH33VR for BMW 3 Series
Hey Robert, I wish that was something we offered but at this time we do not have a way to swap out the trailer wiring kit that comes with the Stealth Hitch part # SH33VR that you referenced. What comes with it is the cut and splice type that while does create more work to install we have found is a little more reliable than the ZCI.

Can You Change The Ball Mount Height On The Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2017 BMW 3 Series?
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH33VR will come with a 7" Ball Mount # 391BMU7S. When we had this installed on a 2014 BMW 3 series it had a ball height of 18-1/2". You can get either the 5" Ball Mount # 391BMU5S to drop the hitch 2" or the 3" Ball Mount # 391BMU3S to drop the ball height 4". I recommend installing the hitch and connecting your trailer with the 7" ball mount to determine how much your suspension will sag to determine which ball mount will...

How to Get a Little More Height When Installing the Stealth Hitches SH33VR
The Stealth Hitch # SH33VR will definitely fit your 2018 BMW 328d xDrive Sports Wagon, but the included ball will only get you to 18 1/2 inches when measuring from the ground to the top of the ball. I went through all our replacement parts for Stealth Hitches, but this will be the highest rise they offer. That being said, I did find an option that will get you to the needed height. The Curt Hitch Ball # C40034 will actually raise the ball up 2 more inches. This would replace the ball that...

Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility With M Sport diffuser on a 2017 BMW 340i
I reached out to Stealth Hitches and they did confirm that their Hidden Rack Receiver # SH84VR will fit with the M-Sport diffuser on your 2017 BMW M340i without having to trim the diffuser. We have the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH33VR which is the same receiver but includes the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring # 391CONVA7 in the event you will be trailer towing or need to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201. These additional lights will be needed...

Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2014 BMW 328i
Whether or not this is possible or not is going to depend on what the towing capacity of your 2014 BMW 328i is listed at in the owner's manual. From some quick research, it looks like the towing capacity is 1000-lbs, so you're definitely not going to be able to tow a boat and trailer weighing over 2500-lbs safely. If your vehicle's owner's manual shows that you've got a higher towing capacity than the weight of the boat and trailer, then the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver...

Trailer Hitch Options For a 2015 BMW 328i

Which StealthHitch for 2018 BMW 3 Series Wagon

Does The Stealth Hitch SH33VR Require Permanently Removing The Factory Impact Structure?
Hello Ragunath, thanks for reaching out. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # SH33VR is a great fit for your 2014 BMW 328i sedan, and I definitely recommend it. During installation, the factory impact structure is removed and the Stealth Hitch crossmember installs in its place, so the original piece does not go back on the vehicle. I understand your concern about losing that protection, but you aren't simply removing the factory structure and leaving nothing in its place....

Will the Curt Hitch # C11367 Fit My 2017 BMW 330i Wagon?
I have a great hitch solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Curt that the Curt Hitch - 1-1/4" # C11367 has not been confirmed to fit your wagon model of 2017 BMW 330i X-drive. However, we do have a hitch that will fit your wagon model. For that hitch, I recommend the Stealth Hitch - 2" # SH84VR (for accessories only - not meant for towing) and Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - 2" # SH33VR (if you plan to tow). The maximum tongue weight capacity on...

Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2017 BWM 330i XDrive Wagon
What you would want is the Curt # C11367 for your 2017 BMW 330i Xdrive Wagon, is mostly hidden, and at a better price point than the totally hidden Stealth # SH33VR. I confirmed with Curt too that the custom install trailer wiring harness # C59236 does fit your 2017 BMW 330i Wagon as well.
