Hey Jean-Paul! The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH32TR is the right hitch for your 2025 BMW X5 xDrive50e SUV. This comes with the 2" receiver to carry your bike rack, along with the ball mount and wiring so you can tow a trailer.

What kind of trailer are you towing?

Hey Robin, Thank you for the info. My trailer is a light 4' x 8' folding trailer that does not have brakes. So, it is light weight.

@Jean-paulL you're welcome! The towing kit includes a 7-way to 4-way adapter as well, so you can use that to connect to your trailer and power the lights.
