Hello Marisela,
Congrats on the new Mini! What’s your favorite feature?
Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" - Preorder # C65RJ will be the correct hitch for your 2025 Mini Countryman. The # C65RJ is currently a preorder item because Curt is still working on the design, the frame changed between the 2024 and 2025 models, so they’re updating the fit accordingly.
What are you planning to use the hitch for? view full answer...
Hey Jeffrey, thanks for reaching out!
The etrailer Electric Trailer Jack # e55ZV does not require an additional fuse/relay as it has an auto-reset on built-in, and the outer diameter of the jack tube is 2-1/2".
Are you looking to replace an older electric jack, or looking to upgrade from manual to electric? view full answer...
You are correct. If the Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR is not moving the accelerometer would not sense braking and start applying the brakes. view full answer...
The 4-pin round connector that includes the transmitter for the Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light # LIW-LDTL will plug into the 4-pin connector on your motorhome and then transmit the signal to the light bar.
If you do not have a 4-pin round connector on your motorhome, you would need to add one. You can do this using the Pollak 4-Pole Round Wiring Socket # PK11404. Once you have the plug, you then need to route 16-gauge wire # 16-4B-1 to those pins into your current wiring.

I have exactly what you are needing for your 2013 Mini Cooper towing setup.
Starting off with the tow bar; Blue Ox has their Alpha tow bar # BX7380 which is what I recommend using. It is very easy to maneuver and it comes with the safety cables for added security when driving down the road.
Next you will want your base plates. Blue Ox has their Mini Cooper Base Plate Kit # BX1307 which works really well with the Alpha tow bar. This kit is very well hidden. You can remove the arms when... view full answer...
Generally manual transmission cars are more easily flat towed than automatics. I checked the Mini online owner's manual for information about recreational towing (flat towing) of your 2016 Mini Cooper with manual transmission. On page 217 the online manual indicates the vehicle can be flat towed with a tow bar, but I do suggest you review your manual since the vehicle could be offered in different versions. Your manual will correctly reflect the capabilities of your particular car.

Hey Fred,
The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87FR doesn't fit convertible models so you'd need to go with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH77FR instead, which is designed for convertibles. If you're planning on towing a trailer then you'll also want to pick up the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 to transfer over your traffic signals to the trailer.

Hello Steven,
Congrats on the new car! The reason why there is not a hitch for the 2025 Mini Countryman is because from the 2024 model to the 2025 they made some drastic changes. The information I could find is that the 2025 Countryman has grown by approximately 5 inches in length and 2.5 inches in interior height, that would definitely make changes to the frame of the vehicle. It takes time for the manufacturers to get the aftermarket hitches designed when they make drastic changes like... view full answer...
Hey Dan, welcome back! For lights you can add to your bike rack I recommend using the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201. These can stick on anywhere you have space on the rack and will plug into the 4-way on your Mini Cooper.
What kind of bike rack do you have? view full answer...
We do have it, just added as well!
What you're wanting is the:
-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM54MR.
This base plate is custom made to fit your 2022 Mini Cooper S with the manual transmission.
Additionally if you're looking to complete your flat towing setup, you're also going to need:
-A set of tow bars # RM-676,
-A braking system # SM99251,
&
-A wiring kit # RM-154. view full answer...
Thule makes many of the factory roof rack systems for the Mini Cooper so the correct replacement Thule key should work perfectly. There is not a replacement 800 key from Thule but it's likely that the lock core on your bars actually says "008". For the replacement key for this number you just need the part # THKEYN008. view full answer...
Hey, Trevor. Happy to help out here.
We do carry all the parts you need to be able to flat tow your 2008 Mini Cooper S, especially with the Sport Suspension. I reached out to Roadmaster just to make sure of the baseplate fitment. I'll list all the parts below for you.
Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit Part # 521876-1
etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar Part # e64ZR
Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Tail Light Wiring Kit Part # RM-155
I know most people don't use a braking system when flat towing a... view full answer...
Yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87FR will fit on your 2018 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works 4-door hardtop. You can pair this with the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45147 which has a 2" hitch ball with 3/4" rise. We do have the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT which will allow you to secure the ball mount and trailer coupler to your Mini. It will also allow you to secure your trailer when it is in storage.
You will need a Curt Powered... view full answer...
Hey Carol, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately the weight of your bikes plus the bike rack is going to exceed the 200 lb tongue weight rating on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11417.
Even if this hitch did have a 300 lb tongue weight rating, using a 2" receiver adapter would cut the capacity by 50% so you still wouldn't have enough.
So if you already have a class I hitch you'd have to switch it out with a class II one like # EH47FR and then use the Hollywood Racks... view full answer...
There won't be any problems towing your 2016 Mini Clubman S on a tow dolly, even with its low ground clearance at the rear. The vehicle's rear axle and wheels are very far back, so it isn't going to tilt downwards enough to cause issues over flat pavement, though over speed bumps, if it is raised up enough, it could of course hit the ground, and unfortunately there really isn't any way to overcome that type of obstacle.
If you do choose to dolly tow, the best options by far are the Demco... view full answer...
For a Roadmaster base plate kit that is compatible with your 2008 Mini Cooper Hardtop S and your Nighthawk tow bar part # RM-676 you'd want the Roadmaster EZ part # 521877-1.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-152, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front... view full answer...
Hey Dave I do appreciate you reaching out, but sadly we do not offer a trailer hitch for the 2023 Mini Cooper Convertible. There is only one hitch for the 2023 Mini Cooper the EcoHitch # EH78SR and it will only fit hardtop models and will NOT fit the convertible. There are really no cargo carrying options for the convertible models. view full answer...
Hey Yvetta, yes the Yakima Roundbar roof rack part # Y44AD does for sure fit your 2025 Mini Cooper with a naked roof. What do you plan on carrying on your roof? view full answer...
Hey Maark, the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1312 does work on the 2018 Mini Cooper S model with the JCW trim like you have.
Do you have a tow bar already as well? view full answer...
Hi John; at this time nobody makes a custom fit hitch for your 2026 Mini Cooper 2-door. If you want a hitch you will have to take the # E-9 to a local fabricator and have them fashion one for the vehicle. If you don't want to go that route you can use a trunk mount bike rack like # 298-BK1910-BK or add a roof rack # Y46SD (assuming it is a hardtop) and roof bike rack # Y02103. view full answer...
