50 mm Hitch Ball and Ball Mount for 2022 BMW X5 with 2 inch Hitch
Question:
Hi, I have a 2022 BMW X5. Also, I have an European Thule Bike Rack Thule Easy Fold XT I believe the ball has to be 50mm thick. Do you have any recommendations? I also need the ball mount and a locking pin. I was looking at the Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount for 2 Hitches - 1 Rise - 2 - 17,000 lbs Item # C45340 but I am not sure if it works or if it is overkill but I figure it will look good at least. Please advise. Thanks much!

For a 50 mm hitch ball like you need for your European Thule Easy Fold XT you'd want the Brophy Hitch Ball part # EH53C-C. Then for a ball mount the Draw Tite part # BWBMHD30210 would work great if you had a 2 inch hitch installed like the Draw Tite part # 76288 that is a confirmed fit for your 2022 BMW X5.
