Can Weight Distribution Hitches Be Used On A Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch Receiver
Published 03/12/2024
Question:
I have a 2020 BMW X7 40i, Im looking at buying the Stealth hitch to pull an Airstream travel trailer. I read that you cannot tow with the 2inch receiver installed so, can a weight distribution hitch system not be used with the Stealth hitch? Thanks.

Hi Nickalos,
That is correct, Stealth Hitches trailer hitch receivers, like the # SH32VR you were looking at, are only able to tow with the ball mount attachment and would not be compatible with a weight distribution hitch. There unfortunately aren't any other trailer hitch options available for the X7 at this time so is there another vehicle that you own that would be capable of towing the trailer?

Thanks for the reply. We also have 2015 BMW X5 35d with a class 3 Curt hitch installed. I know that could accept a WD hitch but the interior is a bit small for our kids and is less comfortable than our X7 and I was contemplating selling it. Looks like I may be holding onto it. Thanks again.
