Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

The reason I bought from you was because of your installation video. The video for the hitch and the electical wiring was the key for me. The hitch works great. Hope you continue with videos to help us DIY'ers.

Install video super helpful

Worked great, held up awesome!

Very solid

Easy as possible from start to finish. It was easy to research and select the correct receiver online. Then the Youtube video providing instructions was spot on. installation took approx 2.5 hrs only because I was super cautious removing the bumper. And it looks wonderful!

Not as described. Shorter that claimed.

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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!!!



by:

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!



by:

Excellent product, fit perfect and great instructional video. Only improvement would be if you included 6 rivets instead of 4, since it really helps the install to take out 3 rivets on each wheel well.



by:

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.



by:

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!

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2017 BMW X5
    The best class III hitch for your 2017 BMW X5 is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e84AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your BMW with included hardware. It fits all models of the 2017 X5 including the M Performance and Sport Package. There should be a button that turns off the detection system so you don't have that annoying alarm going off. I recommend checking your manual for towing procedures. Most newer vehicles go into quite a bit of detail on what all you need to do plus...

  • Parts Needed to Get a Hitch and 7-way Installed in a 2012 BMW X5 with No Factory Tow Package
    Since your 2012 BMW X5 currently has nothing, it sounds like you do not have a tow package. Given the lack of tow package and the year/make/model of your vehicle, there are not going to be any plug-n-play options available. I will list out the parts needed below, but if you are hesitant about the installation process, I highly recommend having the installation done by a certified technician.

  • What Trailer Hitch Will Fit The 2017 BMW X5 With M Sport Package?
    Hello Kevin, thanks for reaching out. As far as the 2017 BMW X5, fitment really depends on what hitch you are looking at. For example, the Curt Class 3 Hitch # 13077 fill fit both the M models and non-M models. So in other words, it fits all models of the 2017 X5. Then on the other hand we have the Draw-Tite # 75600 you were looking at. This will NOT fit models with the M Sport package. It is for non-M models only. My recommendation for your 2017 BMW X5 M Sport is the etrailer Class...

  • 2018 BMW X5 Trailer Hitch Recommendation
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75492 you initially purchased fits a 2000 - 2006 BMW X5 so we need to get you a new trailer hitch for your 2018 model. For that I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e84AR because it has the hidden crosstube (like the other hitch options) but it's the only hitch for your vehicle that comes with a matte black finish. This finish blends in with any black trim on your vehicle better than a glossy finish, and it's great at hiding...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 BMW X5 with M Sport Package
    Thank you for all of the details! I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e84AR for your 2015 BMW X5 with the M Sport Package. This has been confirmed to fit that specific package and I like the matte black finish because it's hidden better and better protected against the elements than the glossy black finish that we find on the other hitch receivers. The max tow weight rating for this hitch is 6,000 lbs but you'll need to double check in your owner's manual how much...

  • Looking For Trailer Hitch For A 2015 BMW X5 40i M Sport
    Hello Darin, thanks for reaching out. We do indeed offer a trailer hitch for your 2015 BMW X5 40i M Sport model. What I recommend is the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e84AR. This has a 2" receiver and is rated for up to 6,000 lbs towing or 600 lbs tongue weight. It is important to note that the bumper will need to be full removed during installation. It will then need to be trimmed prior to being reattached. If your vehicle has OEM tow hooks, then will no longer be usable. I have included...

    Per the linked instructions, the etrailer brand # e84AR Class III hitch will require trimming a 4 x 2-1/4 inch piece of the bumper fascia away. I've linked to an install video for the # 13077 hitch which installs in the same manner.

  • Does the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2017 BMW X5 With M Performance Package
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e84AR is confirmed to fit your 2017 BMW X5 M. The designation can be confusing sometimes since it is listed as fitting the M and also everything else that is not the M. This Class III hitch has a 2" receiver with a 6,000 lb gross trailer weight and 600 lb max tongue weight. If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the # 119250KIT for your wiring needs. This will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. For a ball mount,...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2007 BMW X5
    The weight capacity of the hitch. The class IV Draw-Tite item # 75600 fits some model BMW's that has a higher towing capacity then your 2007 X5. The class III hitch's have a lower capacity but both still have a 2" receiver. I looked online and your 2007 BMW X5 tops out at 6,000 lbs towing capacity. I recommend using the etrailer Hitch item # e84AR which is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000 lbs towing capacity and installs in an identical way to the Draw-Tite item #...
