Will Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11272 Fit 2013 Mini Cooper Hardtop With Single Exhaust  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch, # C11272, does indeed fit the 2013 Mini Cooper Hardtop with single exhaust, excluding the S Series and Works.

I have attached the installation instructions for you. As you will see in the final steps the bumper will have to be trimmed in order to access the hitch receiver. I have also attached a picture pointing out this location.

Curt does require the use of Support Straps, # 18050, for all non-trailer loads including bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.

If you plan on doing a bit of towing you may also need the following:

Curt Powered Converter with Wiring Kit, # C59236, which provides a 4-way connector at the back of the vehicle.

Ball Mount # C45519

Pin and Clip # F-4

Hitch Ball # C40001 for 1-7/8" and # C40018 for 2"

I have included a few articles for you as well.
