Which Hitch is Better for a 2021 BMW X5 xdrive40i? Stealth Hitch or Oris?  

Updated 05/11/2026 | Published 05/08/2026

Question:

This hitch looks to do everything that the Stealth for $967 does at a lower cost. What am I missing? I see I would have to add $88 for wiring but I still save $450. 2021 BMW X5 non M

Hey Tom. You're not missing anything the Oris Trailer Hitch item # TS86VR is comparable in function and quality to the Stealth Hitches item # SH92TR that fits your 2021 BMW X5 xdrive40i.

Oris is a German company so their item # TS86VR is a high quality hitch. There's no corners being cut to make this a more affordable option. The cost savings over the Stealth Hitches item # SH92TR is due more to it being manufactured outside of the US and the lack of trailer wiring included.

Another nice perk of the Oris item # TS86VR is the detachable receiver can be used for both accessories and towing. You don't need to use separate attachments like the Stealth Hitches item # SH92TR.

We actually installed the Oris Hitch item # TS86VR on a 2025 BMW X5 xdrive40i recently. I linked the video we made below so you can see how to get this hitch installed.

The Curt item # C56190KIT is the correct wiring harness for your 2021 BMW X5 xdrive40i.

What do you plan on using your new hitch for?

Works great at my X5 2023 and absolutely invisible. Payed 400 for installation

Thanks Jarred and Vlad, sounds like what I've been looking for. I plan to tow my 2700 lb boat and trailer.
