This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Great product ! Excellent website . Fast shipping . Excellent installation video!!!!!
This is my 3rd Curt hitch install on a BMW X. Generally easy installation. Take your time. If you don't have trim tools, buy a quality set. Watch the excellent video and pay attention to the little things like how you can suspend the tailgate half-open (I used a bungee, they used a ratchet strap). Read the instructions...the order of the steps is slightly different...good perspective). Drill the third rivet in each wheel well (requires picking up some extra plastic rivets (BMW 51777171004). No fascia trim required on my '18 X5 50i MSport.
RobC - 12/05/2022Video 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
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!!!
Has been working great! Installation was very reasonable. The supporting materials on the website were great and the price was good too. My install was on a 2010 BMW X5.
On my particular model, the recommended trimming the bumper cover in the center to allow clearance for the hitch receiver part - so I trimmed it to the specs given then put it all back together and realized it was have cleared without trimming at all, so if you have the same setup try without trimming (it sucks though, because you would need to fully reattach the bumper cover to check, then possibly take it all back off to trim, but it may be worth it if you want to try to get away without trimming).
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.
Fit and finish was fantastic! Wiring harness made for an effortless installation and looked clean as factory Wiring after wrapping it with the same fabric tape that is on all the other Wiring.
Not only did the hitch arrive early but I was able too install it in an hour and fifteen minutes. I have been fretting about doing this myself for years now. I was intimidated by the prices to do the job but after an hour on the phone with uhaul trying to set up an appointment to have it done I hung up and went online to etrailer.com and put in my order. I am so proud of myself to save all that money and get er done. The video walked me through the whole thing and not a surprise in sight. Excellent company !
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!
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++
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.
Let me start by saying that etrailer.com represents a masterclass in customer service. They have a complete package from a user friendly and ACTUALLY informative website, backed by competent ACTUAL people who communicate well AND know their products with a level of passion that makes them ACTUALLY helpful. I know, right? If every company was like these guys, could you imagine how much global stress would be reduced??!!? Anyway, onto the product, The Curt Trailer Hitch installed and operated EXACTLY as described on the website, and on the installation video on the etrailer.com. Only time will tell whether the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver lasts, but I'm gambling that if the product is backed by a company like etrailer.com, then it's probably going to be a reliable product.
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
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!
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.
Fit exactly as intended, and my wife loves it on her X5. It’s been used a lot between towing travel trailers & jet skis and still looks new.
Brian - 07/28/2022This 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.
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
This is the best deal. I am very happy with my purchase. Hitch receiver fit like glove and excellent quality. Thanks etrailer
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!
Fairly straight forward installation, the hardest part is removing the bumper cover. And it wasn't hard as much as it was kinda scary as you have to be rough to get it off, but you soon as you get pass the fear of damaging anything, its a breeze. I looks like it belongs. If I have one gripe, the nuts included in the kit are a gold color and they standout if you look through the cracks. (Probably my OCD)
Easy install, Great fitment for 2015 X5 BMW.
no cutting, bolt on installation...
i still recommend a pro install, but if you're very handy, you can do it yourself.
A very robust and well built hitch, easy to install and for the most part straight forward. My only issue was the box was completely destroyed upon delivery (hitch was hanging out and hardware exposed) and I feared the $180 harness I purchased along with it were long gone along with the hardware to install it. Lucky it was all in the box but I am sure it had fallen out several times in route as the box was about 40% missing.
