Will EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Fit 2016 Mini Cooper S

Question:
I have a 2016 Mini Cooper S 2-door hatchback. Will this trailer hitch work? I’m looking at a Thule bike rack that can have two e-bikes on it. I’m in Canada - any issues?

Hey Dean! The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # EH87FR will fit your 2016 Mini Cooper S. It is specifically designed for the S models with a hardtop and dual exhaust. The tongue weight capacity is 300 lbs but you will need to check the tongue weight on your vehicle as well. You will be limited by whichever is lower.
What Thule rack are you looking at? Make sure you account for the weight of the bike rack as well as the bikes to make sure you don't go over.
