You should have seen the macho Marina crowd as they watched me back my BMW 640 down the launch ramp with a 16 foot boat trailer hanging off the back. Guys were down on their knees looking under the rear of the car. But the best part was when I dropped the hitch and put it in the trunk! Lot' of OOOs and Ahaaas.
Worked fine but wiring came with no instructions (got from stealth website) and the thickness of the wires was not compatible with the connectors without a lot of effort to force the splice. Wires much thicker than car wires. Hitch part works great.
A great Kit. Good instructions. Totally hidden when not in use.
2023 Volvo XC60. I bought this and the hitch separately. If you're not used to doing these, like me, the install was actually a fun and easy project, if you take your time to understand how things come apart/go together. I won't know if I did it all right, though, until I have the dealer program the vehicle to accept the new accessory. One pic shows white,braided wire to grounding nut. Another shows where I affixed the module. And another shows the black plug that is to be removed for where the wires will exit the vehicle.
The Stealth Hitch is a great option if you want to keep your rear end looking clean. This kit allows you to add towing ability to an already installed Stealth Hitch Rack Receiver. I added this to a 2020 Volvo XC90. You do need to remove the bumper fascia which, with the excellent videos on this site, was not very difficult. I was able to complete the project in a couple of hours.
***Note*** Stealth changed the size of the bolts holding the hitch block to the bar (from 1/2” to 5/8”) in 2021. Since I had installed my receiver rack in 2020, the included, longer bolts that you need to use to install the chain hooks did not fit. I contacted Stealth and they sent me a new kit with the smaller bolts, chain hooks, and (nicer) bracket to mount the connector to the hitch - no charge. It took about a week to get them so plan accordingly so you’re not stuck with your bumper fascia lying on the ground, not able to complete the job. I ran to the hardware store to grab some temporary bolts so I could get everything back together until the correct bolts came. I’m hoping I can change out the correct bolts without having to remove the bumper fascia again.
Excellent hitch, instructions and videos were easy to follow no issues. Cant wait to install my bike rack and tow something
I am generally very happy with the design and function of this hitch. Unfortunately the paint started peeling off and rusting within weeks of installation. I keep my cars a long time so I will need to put extra effort into maintaining over time.
the longer bolts weren't included. used original bolts even though a tad short. contacted etrailer and no response couple days later.
Product was exactly as advertised - works perfect & was also recommended by my local BMW Dealership. Customer service form Alex (x72965) was exceptional!
I was looking for a hitch that I could tow my motorcycle trailer behind my E92 3 Series 335i. This stealth hitch has the removable quick mount receiver and ball adapter, so that it wouldn’t be an eye sore when I wasn’t towing my bikes to the track.
It works great! I was thinking it would be a loose fit, but the hitch is rock solid! I’ve never pulled more than 1K since the car is so light, but I’m sure it wouldn’t be the hitch that would go out.
It is pricey, but you certainly get what you pay for! Minimal cutting required to the bottom side of the bumper, and it goes in place of the bumper plate. You can only see about 1/8” of the machined receiver under the bumper.
Great product if you need to tow something light with your 3 series!
Fast shipping. Great instructions. Lots of good videos. No problem installing the hitch. Love it.
the rubber grommet and key fell out and were lost
Product works great. Only challenge was determining the correct turn signal and marker light wires without owning a multimeter. However, a couple paper clips, lead wires, and 12v bulb helped confirm the correct wires to splice into.
Note: The wire to pin 1 is for left/right directional. The wire to passenger side pin 4 is for the marker lights.
For connecting the wiring to power, remove the spare tire bracket to access the additional positive battery connections. Attach the black power line here instead of the battery post. For the ground wire, there is a collection of brown ground wires fastened with a crown nut towards the rear wheel well in the rear passenger side fuse compartment area. Attach the ground wire here instead of directly to the negative battery post.
I tested the wiring multiple times through the installation process to ensure all was good before closing it all back up again.
The installation instructions were not very clear. The reinstallation of the bumper trim was very hard and to have another person help. That should be included on the instructions to understand the process and have another person available. Bumper trim was very hard to place back on correctly and I still have an edge that is not flush.
Great look, no ugly hitch to look at. HIGHEST quality products!
Hitch worked perfectly and wiring did also. Great fitment.
Etrailer is great, knowledgeable, parts in stock and fast shipping.
Easy installation and all is well after one yer of use.
Awesome shopping experience! Lori B was thorough, professional and extremely
knowledgeable. I am especially grateful for her product knowledge and how courteous she was in the process. Best service I have received in years!
This is Amazing for the model 3. Love towing with it!!
Received my hitch fast. Quality. Highly recommended.

I havent used it much h but I love that it is hidden under the car and not the eyesore that the previous stealth socket was. I have towed ni Ely with it when needed and I can use the receptacle if I need to use a hitch mounted bike rack. Having a few wiring issues. But thats it.
