2019 MINI Cooper S with Automatic Transmission Compatibility with Tow Dolly and Bike Rack
Question:
I am going to purchase the Roadmaster RM-2050-1 tow dolly to tow my 2017 MINI Cooper convertible about 3,000 pounds behind my motor home that tows 5,000 pounds, and Id like to use this to include a bike rack and bike. Is this the right part? Thank you!

Based on your owners manual it does appear you can dolly tow your 2019 Mini Cooper Automatic with the front wheels off the ground but I recommend checking with your dealer for distance or speed restrictions because the owners manual only references emergency towing and gives both a speed and distance restriction of 30 miles and 30 mph with no reasoning behind those restrictions.
If you find you are able to tow dolly a 2019 Mini Cooper S, then the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1 will work well and no further lighting will be required. You will however need to use the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End # PK12706 to complete the wiring of the dolly. I've attached an article to assist with that and have also attached some videos to assist.
It shouldn't scrape loading and unloading it, but we haven't tested your specific vehicle so we can't give a definite for this or for the ground clearance at the rear. It hasn't been an issue with similar vehicles, but this is a different model so I simply cannot confirm.

Im looking to tow a 2016 MINI Cooper S 2-Door Hatchback FWD on a Roadmaster dolly behind my Unity Leisure Sprinter. We would like to have our bikes on the hitch also. Is it ok to tow a MINI? and if so what accessories would you recomend? Thank you
