  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2024 Mini Countryman
  • Yes, we have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11522 which is confirmed to fit your 2024 Mini Countryman. This is a class I custom fit receiver with a 1-1/4" opening for your Ball Mount # C45572 or hitch mounted accessories. I recommend installing the 4-Way # C59236 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to add Auxiliary Lights # C53201 to hitch mounted accessories which impair the view of your tail lights. It is also the most common connector found on small trailers you...

  • How To Install Curt Powered Tail Light Converter On Mini Countryman
  • The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter part # C59236 is a universal trailer wiring harness. Therefore, specific year make and model installation instructions are not available. That said, the installs really don't vary much from vehicle to vehicle so you can use any of our videos to assist. The steps to get to the taillight and color of wires would really be the only difference. I have attached a sample video below.

  • Parts Needed For Pulling a Tear Drop Trailer With 7-Way Wiring With a 2022 Mini Countryman
  • Since you already have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11522 you will only need your ball mount and wiring/brake controller for the 7-way. Curt recommends using the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45521 with 1-7/8" Ball # A-80 or 2" Ball # A-82.

  • The hardware needed to attach the Replacement Stabilizer Bar part # RM-B001225 to the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes part # RM-2050-1 is not included nor is this something that Roadmaster offers separately.

  • Recommended Hitch and Reducer Sleeve for a 2016 Mini Countryman
  • To use an accessory for a 1-1/4" hitch receiver in a 2" receiver you will need the Hitch Reducer item # HT02. Most bike racks are not rated to be used with hitch adapters plus the use of an adapter like item # e58YR will reduce your hitches capacity by 50%. This would put the tongue weight capacity for the M7 Speed MINI Ultimate Utility Hitch item # 327-60-160200 at only 75 lbs. A hitch reducer does not affect a hitches tongue weight capacity and is approved for use with bike racks. The...

  • Trailer Hitch Fitment for a 2019 Mini Countryman SE All4 Plug-In Hybrid
  • Thanks for reaching out, Mark! The correct trailer hitch to fit your 2019 Mini Countryman SE All4 Plug-In Hybrid is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7387. EcoHitch has confirmed that this will work on the Hybrid versions of your vehicle while Curt says their Hitch # C11522 is not compatible with Hybrid models. I actually prefer the EcoHitch over the Curt anyways just because of the 2" receiver. The larger receiver means you'll be able to use a wider variety of accessories...

  • Which Cargo Boxes Will Fit the Factory Roof Rack on a 2017 Mini Countryman
  • As far as physically fitting the factory crossbars on your 2017 Mini Countryman you can use any of the Thule or Yakima boxes. No adapters needed. But you will want to be cautious if you want a box that will not interfere with the rear hatch. For example one of the shortest Thule boxes is # TH614. On this box it measures slightly under 42-5/8 inches from the center of the rear attachment point to the back of the box. What that means is that you will need to have 42-5/8 inches or more from...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman Model S
  • Thank you for the specifics. Please note that you are only able to flat tow your 2013 Mini Countryman S Model if it is a FWD. According to the owner's manual if you have an AWD it must be towed with all 4 wheels off of the ground. With that being said, the Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar BX4370 is a great choice and with that you need the Base Plate Kit # BX1308. You should have received safety cables with your tow bar but in the event that you don't have any I recommend part # BX88196 which are...

  • How To Add Electric Brakes To An Aluma Trailer
  • In order to add electric brakes to a trailer you must first determine the axle capacity which can be found on a tag located in the center of the beam. Assuming the axle has brake mounting flanges (welded to the spindle), you can then add brakes based on the axle capacity such as the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 which is for 2,000 lb axles with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K. Then, you'd simply need the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit part # 277-000141....

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Mini Countryman S
  • For your 2015 Mini Countryman S the hitch I recommend is the M7 Speed hitch part # 327-60-160200 that you referenced. It's the easiest to install and has a 2 inch opening with plenty of capacity for a 700 lb boat trailer. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 119250KIT as it has the most reliable converter box we have. Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise...

  • Is There A Flat Towing Solution For A 2019 Mini Countryman?
  • Yes the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330 does in fact fit the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1312, and would work just fine with a vehicle weighing 3,400lbs, however the base plate # BX1312 you mentioned is only designed to fit the: -2016 - 2020 Mini Cooper Convertible - S models, & - 2015 - 2021 Mini Cooper Hardtop - S models. If you have a 2019 Mini Countryman, then you actually aren't going to be able to flat tow your vehicle, and will only be able to flatbed transport. Or...

  • Solution for Needing Replacement 014 Key for Roof Rack
  • If it is a Thule roof rack the correct replacement key would be the part # THKEYN014 but if you have a different brand this wouldn't work. If you sent me a picture of the rack I would be able to confirm this.

  • Best Way to Carry Bikes on a 2016 Mini Countryman
  • I have a recommendation for you. The Yakima Fullback # Y02634 is confirmed to fit your 2016 Mini Countryman. However, for the Fullback to work, it must be converted to anchor mode which can cause damage to the headliner of your Mini over a period time. So if you're not going to be carrying your bikes very far or very often they are good options. If you will be carrying them longer the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top carriers are a better option. Both the 2-bike, # HRF2 and 3-bike, # HRF2-3...

  • The Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Locking Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 4 Skis or 2 Boards # Y03095 will fit two boards base to base or 4 skis base. If you are able with your bindings to have enough clearance, they would allow more, but the guarantee is what is listed in the description.

  • Trailer Hitch and 4 Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Mini Countryman
  • To carry a 4 bike rack with your 2016 Mini Countryman and not have to use a stabilizer strap the hitch to use is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7334 since it has a 2 inch opening and does not have the strap requirement. Then for a 4 bike rack the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR is a really great option that would fit well and do a great job carrying your 4 bikes.
