Question:
Hi. I have a 2018 BMW X5 with the M Sport package and need to tow a trailer. What are my best hitch choices for this vehicle? Thanks, Mike

Hey Mike, for your 2018 BMW X5 the Curt hitch part # 13077 would be a really great option that is mostly hidden and has great towing capacities. Only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper so it's mostly out of sight.
Or if you'd prefer something that can be totally hidden we have the EcoHitch part # EH44FR which has a removable hitch opening to give you a totally hidden look when not in use.
Do you have trailer wiring figured out already?
