Question:
Hello, hope this finds you well! I am considering purchasing a trailer hitch for my 2010 base mini cooper. I see you all have a 1.25” trailer hitch available, just wanted to confirm that was the only option not 2” before buying. Thank you for any assistance! Natalie

Hey Natalie, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the only hitches made for the 2010 Mini Cooper are 1-1/4" hitches. The 2" receivers are typically only made for larger vehicles that are more intended for towing heavier weight. For a 2010 Mini Cooper, a 1-1/4" hitch will be your only option.
If you Mini has the single exhaust, you'll need the following:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11160
Or, if you have the center mounted dual exhaust, you'll need this:
- EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 1-1/4" # EH47FR
What will you be using the hitch for?

Thank you Jesse, I appreciate the info! This will only be used for a bike hitch, and I'll make sure to not exceed tongue weight max etc. One question I have for bike racks - I have a class 1 60lb ebike as well as regular bikes. Most "ebike rated" bike racks seem to use a 2" hitch. Should I go by overall weight rating, or just plan to never carry my ebike on a non-ebike-rated trailer? Thank you!
