This hitch is built to handle real work and weekend getaways alike, giving you a 6,000-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 600-lb tongue weight rating. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with most ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo carriers, so you can hook up a small camper, load your bikes, or haul extra gear without worry. It’s rated for use with weight distribution systems up to the same 6,000-lb GTW and 600-lb TW capacity for stable towing when loaded heavy.
The hitch is precision robotic-welded from sturdy steel for a strong, consistent fit. A gloss black powder coat finish sits over a protective base layer to fight corrosion and road grime. That means you’ll get years of clean looks and dependable strength no matter where you drive. The round-tube design keeps it looking tidy under the bumper while adding a bit of style to the back end.
You don’t need to weld or make major modifications. This hitch bolts straight to the frame using the included hardware kit and installation instructions. It’s designed as a custom fit so holes line up cleanly with existing mounting points, which makes the job faster whether you’re setting it up in your driveway or having a shop do it. Once installed, you can easily add or swap accessories whenever you need them.

Very good video showing how to install.
This kit was great and functions exactly as intended. With the help of the online video it was easy to install, even for people without any electrical knowledge.
My only advice is:
1) watch the video and the hitch installation video at the same time. This will help you plan ahead and not re-install parts during the hitch installation, that will need to be removed for the harness installation
2) be VERY careful about selecting the right wires, by using the testing tool eTrailer provides. In the install video for my BMW X5, the technician referenced a yellow and black wire when making the initial connection. He later goes on to make a separate connection for a black and yellow wire. To the novice they look nearly identical. I confused the two wires and had to re-do this, but would not have been an issue if I had understood the distinction and used the testing tool, as recommended in the instructions
3) be careful about placing all connectors so that they face in the same direction. Does not impact function, but makes for a neater install when complete.
I could not be happier about how this project turned out, and credit etrailer with all of the success. It has a very OEM look, and etrailer made the entire project doable for me through their great suite of videos and excellent Customer service. I wish every retailer could be this good!
Easy to install on the BMW X6 M F86. I had it for over a year and it is holding great. I use it to pull my 6x10 trailer
Perfect fit, excellent step by step instructions, took 90mins or so. Thank you etrailer!
Solid as a rock!
Trailer hasn't come unattached yet. Installation was not easy on my E70 X5, but that's not the hitch's fault. Great bang for the buck.
This is absolutely best hitch on market, 100% safe and fits just like OEM. Thanks to videos and instructions I was able to install myself in less then an hour.
Great product , I installed it without any issues, videos displayed on etrailer website are superb and exact. I got the product fast, only observation would be to check packing, when I got it delivered the cardboard box was all ripped , fortunately product was intact. I recommend this product for sure.
Great product ! Excellent website . Fast shipping . Excellent installation video!!!!!
Perfect Fit, and 10 times better looking than OEM hitch. Had to cut small slot in bumper (per instructions) but essentially invisible.
Installed on 2012 E70 X5 35i with M-Sport package
The hitch is so quality , my husband installed it and it looks great. It took longer then he wanted it to because the BMW X5 isn’t an easy vehicle. We like the hitch very much.
Video instructions are top notch and easy to follow! Hitch fit perfect just as advertised. One person installation in just under two hours. It did require purchase of two additional push pins as 6 were required and only four provided. Certainly recommend
Product is exactly as advertised. Fits perfectly on my 2018 BMW X5. It took my dad and I a little less than 3 hours to install it. Bike rack fit perfectly in the hitch. A++
I read the E70 M Sport would not accept a hitch without major surgery to the skirts, and saw some real butcher jobs. Well, I needed a hitch so I ordered this Curt. Very time consuming installation, but not difficult. Minimal cutting required and a very neat install.
Recommended A-1!
Bought this for my 2016 BMW X5. Exceptionally low price for the quality of the product. Fitment was excellent and the hitch sits up high and close to the bumper cover but remains easy to access. Value was a 10/10.
Superb first time experience. I was going to buy on another online retailer But it was about 5$ more. Then When I read Reviews, negative about the way it was shipped. Not here with etrailer, see photos. Great packaging and not a scratch! After the detailed video of how to install, plus written and PDF, I had to purchase from here. I also, picked up the ball and receiver package. Lowest price and awesome quality. I will not hesitate to buy from here for any future accessories needed. Bike carry back on the vehicle and off we will go to bike the trails now! Super thanks etrailer.com.
God product from Curt, and etrailer did a phenomenal job on the installation video. The paper instructions enclosed from Curt were not even worth it. I would suggest instead of trying to drill out the blank rivets with tires on, just snipping them off. Took a few hours with one person, but just take your time as not to snap something. Would recommend buying etrailer!
The Curt 13077 hitch feels really heavy-duty, thick metal, very sturdy, and Made in the USA. The item shipped in good packaging and arrived without a scratch. The installation instructions made available by the etrailer crews on YouTube are excellent (these videos actually is the reason I bought from etrailer instead of other places),The Curt product and etrailer are both deserved all stars!!!
It took a while to receive the hitch due to COVID-19 but finally arrived. I used the installation video from the website and it was the same car as mine. Removing the bumper I took my time and followed step by step on the video. I tend to brake stuff when I rush. Installing the hitch was easy. I made the cut on the bumper 2.5” instead of 2.25” as stated because it was sitting better and less pressure on the bumper. Reinstalling the bumper was just the reverse of taking it off. I really appreciate the included push pins for the flares vs rivets. I had actually gone out to purchase a rivet gun but didn’t need to use it. The whole process took about 2 hrs.
The Hitch assembly is SOLID! Perfect fit for a F15 BMW X5. Self installed followed the Etrailer video which greatly assisted with the installation. However, definitely requires moderate experience, removal of the rear bumper required patience due to all the clips and securement. It is recommended to use a plastic molding removal tool set to carefully remove bumper as not to damage paint and trimmings.
Great service and excellent instructions
The package arrived with the hitch hanging out. Looks all scuffed up some someone dumping it on the ground. The quality looks good, but now I have to get a spray paint can to prevent corrosion from the person who knocked the paint off of the sides by crappy packaging and mishandling…
This is heavy duty equipment. The install was straightforward after reviewing the video instructions
The hitch looks great and the instructions are great but unfortunately the kit came with the wrong size nuts. They should be M12x1.5 like the car but these are M12x1.75. I have to put the car back together so I have to use the old nuts, which are not the same rating.
