Question:
Can I continue using the rear tow hooks after installing the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2inch ? Item # EH44FR I see a tech tip for this oneCurt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch - 2013 BMW X5 saying the OEM tow hooks will no longer be useable with rear of vehicle. Did not see that for the stealth. Thanks.

I spoke to EcoHitch and their Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH44FR does not require the removal of the tow hooks to install their receiver. So your tow hooks will still be accessible on your 2013 BMW X5.
