Will EcoHitch Hitch Receiver # 306-X7290 Fit 2015 Mini Cooper with Mounted Spare Tire

Updated 04/23/2018 | Published 04/20/2018

Question:

Will this hitch fit on a 2015 Mini Cooper 4-door with the spare tire stored ubderneath? The hitch is supposed to be a certified fit, but the description doesnt mention the spare tire the similar Curt hitch description specifically excludes Minis with the spare, so I thought I’d better ask about the EcoHitch

The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7290 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2015 Mini Cooper, as long as it has the single exhaust and it is not the S Series or John Cooper model. I spoke with my contact at EcoHitch and he did confirm that this hitch is compatible with those that have the spare tire mounted underneath and there will be no interference between it and the hitch.

This custom-fit hitch features a hidden crosstube that installs behind the rear bumper. Ths Class I hitch will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, a 1,000 pound towing weight capacity and a 100 pound tongue weight capacity.
