Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Installation - 2024 BMW X5- Video

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2024 BMW X5, and we're gonna be taking a look at, and I'm gonna show you how to install, this Draw-Tite class III two inch hitch receiver. Adding the two inch hitch receiver to the back of your BMW X5 is gonna give you a few different options. It's gonna allow you to haul bike racks, which is what this owner of this vehicle's gonna be doing. You can haul cargo carriers if you need extra space on the carrier to make more room inside. Or you can pull small trailers, like if you want to tow a trailer, you will want to be sure to pick up a wiring kit so that you at least have four-pole wiring. more

Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Installation - 2023 BMW X5- Video

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2023 BMWX X5 and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Stealth hitch with the tow package on your vehicle here. Now before we get into a bunch of the other details, I want to explain the first and foremost and most obvious differentiator from the Stealth hitch to all the other hitches available for the X5. The X5 is a very, very good looking car and the last thing you want is a hitch receiver tube sticking out the back, especially one of this length, it kind of takes away from the car, especially if this hitch goes in five years, starts to rust. Well the Stealth hitch is designed so that you turn a knob, you can pop that receiver tube out and then there's nothing left on your car to see. With the towing kit, you're gonna get a receiver tube, which is for accessories only, so bike racks or cargo carriers and then you're gonna get a ball mount which is the only thing you can tow a trailer with. more

Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Installation - 2024 BMW X5- Video

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the stealth hitch hidden rack receiver on a 2024 BMW X5. Now this is what your hitch is gonna look like when it's installed and believe it or not it is installed. The name stealth implies the fact that it is gonna be completely hidden until you're ready to use your receiver. And once you are ready, it's as simple as twisting a handle back, popping this in place. (metal lightly thumping) And then once snapped in, you're ready to go. Now first thing out the gate that I need to point out is gonna be the sticker that's on our receiver and that simply says not for towing. more

Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Installation - 2019 BMW X5- Video

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at Etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2019 BMW X5. Now this is what your hitch is gonna look like when it's installed on the BMW, and it's really nice that it's a two inch by two inch receiver tube opening, and that just means you're gonna have plenty of options when choosing bike racks, cargo carriers, or ball mounts. Another pro of this hitch is it's a hidden cross tube, in fact, this one bolts up behind the impact bar, so the only thing that you're gonna see, is the receiver tube opening and the safety chain loops. Now all of your accessories are going to stay in place with a five eighths pin and clip, and this is not included with the hitch, a lotta times when you pick up accessories, they'll have one included. But if you wanna pick up a locking version, we have plenty of those available here at Etrailer, which is really nice if you plan on leaving your accessories on the vehicle, you can lock it in place, and know that no one's gonna walk away with your accessories Rolled-style safety chain loop is nice and open, allowing us to put a standard S hook, or even a larger clevis style, when hooking up your trailer. And speaking of towing, this one's rated at some pretty serious numbers. more

Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2016 BMW X5- Video

Hi there BMW owners, today in your 2016 BMW X5 we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Redarc's trailer brake controller. In addition to that, we're also going to be using Roadmaster's universal stoplight switch to get this installed. Blue is gonna indicate that we're in the proportional mode but there's also a user control mode available which makes it act more similar to like a time delay module. The user control mode is mainly for when you're off road because if you're in some slick muddy conditions when you hit the brakes in your vehicle and you start to slide the inertia sensor may not detect that you're stopping 'cause you're still going forward not really slowing down so it won't even attempt to apply your trailer brakes. In user control, it is going to apply those brakes regardless 'cause it's not working off proportional mechanism so it can help you stop in those slicker conditions like that. The knob does let you adjust the output of the unit from zero to 10, with 10 being the maximum brake output and you can also press down on the button to activate it just like you would the manual slide on any other brake controller. more

Hi there BMW owners, today in your 2014 BMW X5, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install Husky Liners custom fit Mogo floor mats.
