Question:

Good afternoon, I own a 2018 BMW X5 and I see there are two different types of stealth hitches. My X5 does have the cosmetic M package however it is not a performance. Would this hitch be the correct one for the vehicle ? Thank you

Expert Reply:

If you just have the cosmetic M Sport package on your 2018 BMW X5 and not the M Performance package then the correct Stealth Hitches for you is part # SH79VR for just the receiver for accessories (like a bike rack), or part # SH85VR which comes with the receiver for accessories as well as the ball mount and wiring.

Please note that if you plan on towing a trailer at all then you'll need to go with the full kit # SH85VR because the Stealth Hitches have been designed and tested for towing only with the ball mount and not with an aftermarket ball mount in the accessories receiver.
