Hitch Height for 2020 BMW X5 Compared to Factory Option
Published 11/24/2021
Question:
this comment - is this correct? Trailer hitch hangs down 3 to 4 inches lower than the factory BMW hitch. Receiver portion of the hitch also points down slightly: it should be level to the ground or point up slightly. I installed a bicycle carrier rack in the hitch: the hitch was so low it caused the bicycle tires to drag the ground occasionally. Hitch needs to be re-designed

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 76288 is a confirmed fit for the 2020 BMW X5, excluding M Sport package. When properly installed it will match similarly to the factory hitch.
