Does The EcoHitch # EH87FR Replace The Bumper Beam On A 2019 Mini Cooper

Published 09/20/2023

Question:

In watching the video, it appears that you do not reinstall the bumper bar. Does the Hitch receiver, in effect, serve as the bumper baron the Mini COoper when installed ?

Yes, crossbeam of the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87FR will replace the factory bumper beam on your 2019 Mini Cooper. This is pretty common with this style of trailer hitch since the whole idea is for it to be as hidden as possible so the manufacturer reinforces that beam enough to handle the impact of a collision like the factory beam would.
