Note: The included receiver attachment is only for hitch-mounted accessories and cannot be used for towing. To tow with this hitch, you must use the included ball mount attachment.


This Stealth Hitches trailer hitch includes everything you need to hook up your trailer for towing. The ball mount pops into the hitch's center block so you can attach your trailer's coupler to the hitch ball. The wiring harness lets you power your trailer's lights. And the safety chain loops let you attach your trailer's safety chains. A receiver attachment is included as well for those times you need to use a bike rack or cargo carrier instead of towing your trailer. This all-in-1 solution saves you the headache of scrambling for missing parts, so you can get on the road faster than ever.


Completely Hidden Design

Nothing can ruin the clean, stylish look of your vehicle like a giant piece of metal bolted beneath the bumper. Luckily, with the Stealth Hitches trailer hitch receiver, you never have to worry about messing up your vehicle's lines.


hitch in use comparison

This hitch installs behind your bumper, keeping the cross tube concealed and leaving only the ball mount visible. Even better, the ball mount can be easily removed from the cross tube when it's not in use, so you won't see any trace of the hitch. This means that you can retain that clean, from-the-factory look for your ride, while still being able to tow your trailer on the next family road trip.


This hitch also comes with a removable 2" square receiver, which can be used to mount any variety of hitch accessories, like your bike rack or cargo carrier.


Simple Set Up

Both the ball mount attachment and receiver attachment can be installed and removed in seconds with no tools required. Simply pop the selected attachment's base up into the stainless steel block at the center of the hitch until it automatically latches in place.


center block locking

Be sure to then press the lock on the side of the block to fully secure the attachment. When you're finished hauling, use the included key to unlock the latch. Then turn the handle on the block clockwise and remove the attachment. You can stow the attachments in a safe place like your vehicle's rear cargo area, or you can use a convenient carrying case (391CASEC - sold separately).


hitch plug and center block

And when you're not using an attachment, the included hitch plug covers the center block's opening to protect the hitch's body from dirt and debris.


Wiring Installation

wiring

The included wiring splices into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area, on the driver's and passenger's side. Once you've made all of the necessary connections, insert the provided fuse into the in-line fuse holder.


Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will mount beneath your hitch. A mounting bracket is included to attach the connector to your hitch.


7 way connector on hitch

It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 7-way connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

I bought the Stealth Hitch for my twin turbo 2016 BMW X5 50i. Completely satisfied with this "invisible" hitch; it is totally and completely invisible when not being used. Perfect for a Luxury or Sport SuV if you want it to appear exactly as it is did on day 1. I paid to have it installed at a local Uhaul, so I can not comment as to the ease of the installation process. I haven't pulled more than a 2k lbs load as of yet, but it absolutely pulls my 1500 lb. side-by-side flawlessly. I love how stealthy it is; even though it's a bit more expensive that most others, it's absolutely worth every penny and is a must have for a BMW or any other luxury/sport SuV.

  • Which Concealed Trailer Hitch for 2018 BMW X5
    Both hitches fit certain models of the 2018 BMW X5.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2018 BMW X5
    No, the Ball Mount for Stealth Hitches Hidden Receiver Hitch # 391BMU7S is not going to fit your 2018 BMW X5. The only ball mount that fits your Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH52VR would be the one included in the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH98VR.

    The reason the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH56VR for your 2017 BMW X5 M Performance Model is only rated for 600lbs tongue weight but not trailer weight is because the receiver is only designed for bike racks or cargo carriers and cannot be used for a ball mount tow a trailer.

  • Does Stealth Hitch for 2016 BMW X5 Require Trimming Rear Bumper
    The Stealth part # SH98VR that you referenced is the hitch opening and trailer wiring add-on for the Stealth hitch # SH56VR that fits your 2016 BMW X5 which we also carry as a complete kit with part # SH52VR. This does not require trimming or cutting of the bumper fascia but the hitch body/tube does replace the rear bumper beam of the vehicle.
