Features to know about

Get More Out of Your Hauling Setup: Class III Strength with a 2" Receiver

This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver gives you a solid foundation for towing and gear carrying. With a 2" x 2" receiver opening, it’s ready for bike racks, cargo carriers, or utility trailers. Rated for a 7,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and a 700 lbs tongue weight (same when using weight distribution), it’s built for everyday towing and hauling tasks. The sturdy, square-tube design gives dependable strength for light to moderate trailer use.

Simplify the Install: Bolt-On Fit with No Welding Required

Installing this hitch doesn’t require special tools or welding. It bolts directly onto the frame using included hardware for a clean fit and proper alignment. The precision, robotic welding ensures the hitch lines up right the first time, saving hours in the garage. You can mount it using common hand tools, so it’s easy to add towing capability without needing to modify anything.

Keep It Looking Good: Durable Finish That Fights Corrosion

The gloss black powder coat is layered over a protective base coat to stand up to rust and road wear. It keeps the hitch looking sharp while protecting the steel underneath from corrosion. Whether you’re driving through rain or salt, that finish helps maintain both appearance and longevity.

Haul Bikes and Gear with Confidence: Built Tough for Real Use

This Class III hitch covers a wide range of uses — from towing small campers and boats to carrying bikes or extra luggage with a rack or cargo basket. The fully welded construction maximizes strength so you can count on it for every trip. Just pair it with the right accessories and you’re ready to load up and go.

The trailer hitch did not line up for a direct fit bolt on application as indicated. The holes on the hitch were off by a 1/4 of an inch required some altercation to allow a proper fit. Took over 8 hours to be installed. The universal wiring harness was just as problematic. This varys greatly from the last Curt hitch I purchased. Even though your web site says it fits 2020 BMW X5 40I it doesn’t bolt on as indicated. Not at all pleased with this outcome.

  • Differences Between Curt And Draw-Tite Hitches For A 2022 BMW X5
    Hi Danny! The Draw-Tite # 76288 and Curt # C85VV hitches for your 2022 BMW X5 are going to be pretty similar to each other. There are a few differences though, and I have those listed below: Draw-Tite # 76288 Towing Capacity: 7,200 lbs Tongue Weight Capacity: 720 lbs Hitch Height: 12.5" Weight: 38.9 lbs Curt # C85VV Towing Capacity: 7,000 lbs Tongue Weight Capacity: 700 lbs Hitch Height: 13.5" Weight: 35.3 lbs Other than those, the big one is that Curt hitches are American made.

  • Concerns Over Installation of Hitch on 2025 BMW X5 With Driver Assistance Pro Package
    Hey Rik! The main issue with the Driver Assistance Pro package is typically just the rear parking sensors picking up the hitch or anything installed in it. We really do not see the Curt Hitch # C85VV itself causing problems with the driver assist systems when installed properly. Honestly, the Oris # TS86VR is probably the best option here since the receiver removes completely when not in use. This maintains the factory look and there is nothing there for the sensors to see unless you're...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For a Bike Rack To Fit a 2025 BMW X5
    Cyndi, I was just able to verify with Curt their Trailer Hitch Receiver # C85VV is now confirmed to fit the 2025 BMW X5. So this will give you a 2" receiver opening. Do understand this will not fit the M or M-sport models. If you are looking for a bike rack the Kuat # NV22B is one of my favorites as it looks great, is lightweight and has the built in work stand to make working on your bike so much easier.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2025 BMW X5
    Hey Rhonda, for your 2025 BMW X5 you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C85VV. This trailer hitch has a 7K weight capacity, is assembled in the USA, and has a class III receiver so you can use any hitch mounted accessories like the Thule Epos Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH69XE which can accommodate up to 3 bikes weighing 50 pounds each.

  • Will A Curt Trailer Hitch Interfere With Hands Free Liftgate Functionality On A 2021 BMW X5
    Hey Jason, The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C85VV doesn't have a tech note stating that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C85VV would interfere with the hands free liftgate functionality, but even if it does you can just wave you foot on either side of the receiver tube to trip the sensors.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2021 BMW X5 for Kuat 4 BIke Rack
    It's not complicated at all to use your Kuat 4 Bike Rack with your BMW X5, you're just going to need at least a class III hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C85VV. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that it's an easy job to put the hitch on, because it is going to require you to do some trimming, loosen/remove the fascia/some underbody panels, and temporarily remove the bumper, which isn't exactly simple - especially if you're not super mechanically inclined. That being...

  • Best Trailer Hitch For Carrying Bikes On 2026 BMW X5 40i With M Sport Package
    Hello Russell, thanks for reaching out. We do offer a trailer hitch for the 2026 BMW X5 40i with the M Sport package.

  • ask the experts
    Well for starters you'd need to pay the cost of the hitch, but for installation that would depend on the place you go to. If you plan on coming to etrailer and having us install it, you'd need to call our customer service department and they'd be able to quote you a price.
