Why Can't I Find a Hitch for My 2025 Mini Countryman?

Question

Question:

Hello. I’m looking for a tow hitch for a 2025 mini countryman JCW I don’t see any listed for this vehicle? Is it just to new? Do you anticipate a hitch coming available in the future? Thanks.

Hello Steven,

Congrats on the new car! The reason why there is not a hitch for the 2025 Mini Countryman is because from the 2024 model to the 2025 they made some drastic changes. The information I could find is that the 2025 Countryman has grown by approximately 5 inches in length and 2.5 inches in interior height, that would definitely make changes to the frame of the vehicle. It takes time for the manufacturers to get the aftermarket hitches designed when they make drastic changes like that. I would just keep checking back, it would be nice if they provided us with a timeline but we do not know until they are ready.

What were you looking to use the hitch for?

Hi Kate I also bought a 2025 mini cooper countryman. I have been approved to buy a travel trailer dry weight 26000 and the mini can pull upto 3500. I am going crazy trying to find a hitch for it. I specifically asked the dealer at the time I test drove it if it had a hitch he told me it did not but I could get an after market installed, now I am stuck.

@Kate Wow Kate, that would be extremely frustrating. The sales people at dealerships are only concerned about making the sale and getting the car out the door, without really listening to their customers needs. He should have known better seeing how he sells MINI's that there were drastic changes done so it is going to take some time for the aftermarket guys to construct a new hitch that is going to fit the changes. There will eventually be a hitch for your vehicle, we just don't know when. I do see that we have a pre-order one for a Curt Class I with a 1 1/4" receiver. I do not recommend getting a class 1 as it will not be able to handle the weight of the trailer, you will most likely want to wait til the Stealth Hitch comes out as they usually have a higher capacity for the MINI's. I am sorry that I do not have a timeline at this time on when it will be. I wish I could have told you this information before you purchased the MINI.

@Kate My pleasure Kate. I am glad they were able to give you a timeline, usually it is pretty vague. I hope they get it fabricated quickly so you can hit the road with your camper =)

Hi Kate, I am about to order a new 2026 Countryman but don't want the factory towing package. Is there any updates on whether hitches are available yet for the 2026's ? Thanks

@RonK I am sorry Ron, but it still listed as coming soon. I wish I had a better answer for you, but when it comes to the future fits we really don't know when they will be released until they are released. It is still listed as "Coming Soon"

I'm interested in a 2" trialer hitch for 2026 JCW Countryman to carry a bike rack.

@Mike Hello Mike. I wish we had one I could offer you. The frame changed from the 2024 to the 2025, they still have not released a hitch for it. Hopefully they can get one released sometime in the near future. Have you though about a roof rack with a bike carrier? How many bikes are you looking to transport, and what kind?

@KateF I don't want to lift the bikes. There is a hitch available for the S model but not the JCW.

@Mike I hope they come up with one soon for you! I Don't blame you for not wanting to lift your bikes onto the roof, that is not a choice for me either =)
