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...
Hey Wanda, thanks for reaching out. We have just the thing! To connect your Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521877-1 to a tow bar you will need the following:
- Replacement Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly for Roadmaster Tow Bars # 910021-00
This will be compatible with any Roadmaster brand tow bar.
Do you already have a tow bar? Which one?
Are you needing any other parts for your flat tow setup? view full answer...
Hi Michel; the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH95SR only fits the Hardtop - SE models of the 2024 Mini Cooper. It will not fit the convertible. The only option at this time is to take the # E-9 to a local fabricator and have them fashion a custom hitch for your vehicle. 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.

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.

Hey Jim, thanks for writing in, and thanks for the pictures, I love what you've done with that trailer! Oh and thanks for your kind words, we love you too.
You’re well within what the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 is built to handle. The Rack and Roll is designed for highway use and long-distance travel, and what you’re carrying is actually a pretty light load for it. Even with your boats and spare, you’re still comfortably under its capacity, so from a weight standpoint there’s... view full answer...
Hello Steven,
Congrats on the new Countryman!
We finally got the hitches in... WooHoo!!
You'll want one of the following, depending on how you plan to use it:
If you're only planning to use the hitch for a bike rack, cargo carrier, or other hitch-mounted accessory, go with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH77VR. This version includes the hidden 2" receiver but is not designed for towing.
If you plan on towing a light trailer, you'll want the Stealth Hitches... view full answer...
We've had this question before and the answer is that we don't have a base plate that will fit your JCW model 2016 Mini Cooper due to the intercooler location but we do have a way to tow the vehicle with a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes part # DM9713045.
The Kar Kaddy SS is the perfect all in one tow dolly. It has disc brakes for maximum stopping power/reliability, a folding tongue for easy storage, and a wheeled jack to maneuver the dolly around while... 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...
The best way to tow a 2019 Mini Cooper convertible is with a tow dolly like the Roadmaster part # RM-2050-1 as this is overall the easiest to set up method and also the only method that fits all versions of your 2019 Mini Cooper. Flat towing with all four wheels on the ground ends up costing about the same, has a much longer install time, and is a harder setup to transfer to future vehicles which is why I prefer the tow dolly method for your vehicle (and others).
For lower ground clearance... 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...
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...
Yes, the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount # SAR83FR will fit on your 2013 Mini Cooper with a spoiler.
For the straps you'll want to position them over the spoiler so the rack can sit a bit higher up to clear the spoiler. This rack also has a carrying capacity of 2-bikes that weigh 35-lbs each for a total of 70-lbs.
I've also put in a review video for you to check out 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...
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 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...
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

Hi Joseph!
I can definitely get you measurements for the install of the Yakima BaseLine FX Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # Y46SD on your 2025 Mini Cooper 3-door hardtop, but we haven't had one of these in for an install yet. So no video yet, unfortunately, but I do have a couple pictures attached.
