Is Anything Else Needed For The Stealth Trailer Hitch with Towing Package SH85VR On A 2017 BMW X5
Published 11/24/2021
Question:
I am just curious if this package includes everything required in the way of wiring? I have a 2017 BMW X5 Diesel and am looking for a kit to tow my ski boat that weighs around 3500-4000 pounds. There are no brakes on the trailer, and its a simple 4-pin connector. Also, does this include installation instructions in the kit? Sorry for the questions, this is the first SUV I have ever purchased without a factory tow package.

We are here to answer any question you can throw at us to the best of our abilities, so keep them coming if you have more. As to the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH85VR on your 2017 BMW X5 Diesel, it will work perfectly. From what I could find, your X5 is rated to tow up to 5,952 pounds so you will have no issues using the # SH85VR to tow your ski boat
This includes everything needed to wire up a 7 Way trailer plug, but it does also include a 7 Way to 4 Way adapter. It really is a one stop shop and no other parts will be needed.
Instructions for both the hitch install and the wiring will be included with the hitch, but I did also include an install video we did on a 2017 X5 for you to check out as well. It will definitely help if you are planning on doing this yourself.
