Hidden Cross Tube for a Clean, Factory Look
The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame, behind your rear bumper. No drilling or welding is required. Once the hitch is installed, only the receiver will be visible beneath your bumper. This means that your vehicle can maintain its stylish, from-the-factory look, and you won't have to do any major modifications to its body or frame.
Eco-Friendly Material
With a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, each EcoHitch is made of a strong metal alloy that will withstand the test of time. The lightweight alloy is composed of recycled materials. Traditional steel hitch manufacturing can use coal or oil, which can contribute to harmful gas emissions. The EcoHitch's recycled materials limit the carbon footprint during manufacturing, so you get a sturdy trailer hitch while also helping the environment.
Rigorous Strength Testing Ensures Durability
This EcoHitch trailer hitch is tested for durability and sturdiness. Using Finite Elemental Analysis (FEA), individual points of stress on the hitch can be detected and remedied. Designers can accurately test the hitch to ensure that it will meet or exceed SAE J684 standards. The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is carefully researched and strength tested for a durable, high-quality hitch that can resist damage while on the road.

2017 Mini Cooper
Perfect fit, discrete, and easy install. The video provides excellent directions on how to install this tow-hitch. Get a friend to help you, it makes it a lot easier! The tow-hitch itself appears to be of quality. It's solid. After installation, the tow-hitch sits very close to the bottom of the bumper and barely sticks out underneath. I only wished they made a 2" version, besides that, I am very happy with it!

no problems with installation. Works fine. Doesnt change car appearance much. Haul a utility trailer with it. Notice the weight limitation on it.

Price increase in the past 2 years. Still a sold trailer hitch for the F56 mini cooper. Fits well, slightly hidden.

@Francis We're glad to hear that, thank you!

I really don't know anything about trailers and hitches. I ordered this for my mini Cooper. I pull a 4x8 1947 Kit camper. I had it installed. Seems to be great. I bought what etrailer recommended.
by: Jon 10/21/2023
The hitch was great. Only place I could find a hitch for a mini convertible.

This hitch fits well onto my 2018 Mini Cooper 4-door hardtop. Installation was not difficult and my bikes love it also!

2015 Mini Cooper
I had this installed professionally at a shop that regularly works on mini coopers. It took about as long as the instructions indicated and looks good on the car. Was a good clean install. Can’t want to get a bike rack and start using it!

We were able to take our new electric bikes on vacation
by: Jack 09/15/2018
Easy to follow instructions and perfect fit made the installation super smooth. From start to finish it took about 2.5 hours. Final look is very clean with only the small square of the hitch showing. If you plan to buy a locking hitch pin, make sure to get a low profile one as there is limited space under the bumper.

2017 Mini Cooper
Excellent product and nice look on the car. Instructions video was very helpful, my only remark is the bolts size to remove the bumper is 18mm and not 17 mm as mentioned in the video, for a 2020 Cooper 4 doors.
by: Andrea 10/23/2021
Install was 10/10. The wire harness is what took the longest but the hitch itself is awesome and I’m so happy with it.

Sunny was very helpful and professional. This hitch will fit a 2021 Mini Cooper SE. Thanks for all the assist in finding this hitch for my mini.

Janeth and the team were great if I need anything else I’ll definitely only use entrailer in the future

Love it. A little light weight, but works out perfect for what I needed.

See what our Experts say about this EcoHitch Trailer Hitch
- Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Mini CooperI have a great hitch for your 2021 Mini Cooper 4 Door. It is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7290. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Mini with included hardware. This hitch will NOT fit the S model or the John Cooper works model. I really like this hitch because it mounts directly behind the bumper. This leaves only the 1-1/4" receiver portion exposed which doesn't drastically affect the already low ground clearance. I have linked an installation video...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch that Fits 2020 Mini Cooper Convertible with Single ExhaustThe EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 is a fit for your 2020 Mini Cooper Convertible with single exhaust. I would not need your VIN to verify this. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop With Spare TireThe Curt trailer hitch # C11417 is actually NOT a fit for a 2015 Mini with a spare tire. Instead you would need the EcoHitch # 306-X7290 which does fit a Mini with a spare tire. While we have not test fit this hitch I did add a photo from the installation instructions that show how the hitch will look when installed. As you can see the hitch sits directly on the bottom of the bumper so you should be able to use that as a reference so you can find the clearance on that hitch.

- Trailer Hitch for 2017 Mini Cooper Convertible that Allows Storing of Rear SpareFor your 2017 Mini Cooper Convertible the EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 is a confirmed fit and would work great. It does not require the permanent removable of the rear spare to install either. For trailer wiring the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT is a really great option that installs without splicing into the taillight wiring like other options. I attached an install video link for the trailer hitch for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Options for 2016 Mini Cooper ConvertibleThe 2016 Mini Cooper convertible is not considered a fit for trunk-mount bike racks. There is no way to properly attach the carrier. Yakima, Hollywood Racks and Thule show no fits for your convertible vehicle for a trunk-mount bike rack; only the hard top model has trunk racks confirmed to work. We DO offer hitch racks that could work. If your convertible is NOT the S Series or the John Cooper Works version you could install hitch # 306-X7290 and then use a lightweight 1-1/4-inch 2-bike...
view full answer... - Recommended Solution to Carry 4 Bikes on 2017 Mini Cooper 4 Door with HardtopI have a solution for you, but the Curt # C11417 is not a confirmed fit on the 2017 Mini Cooper; it is designed for older models of the Mini Cooper only. The only available hitch confirmed to fit the 2017 Mini Cooper (excluding S and John Cooper Works editions) is the EcoHitch # 306-X7290, which has a 1-1/4" receiver. With that said, this EcoHitch is a Class I hitch with a 150-lbs tongue weight capacity and you cannot carry 4 bikes on a Class I receiver. I'll also note that you would...
view full answer... - Availability of Trailer Hitch that Fits 2020 Mini Cooper HardtopHey Dmytro, we have the EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 that is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Mini Cooper hardtop. This does for sure fit and there is a link to it's product page on this page.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2017 Mini Cooper For Hitch Mounted Bike RackI have another option for you, but the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer HItch # EH77FR you were looking at is only confirmed to fit the Mini Cooper S Convertible. Since your 2017 Mini Cooper is non an S or JCW edition you will need the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7290 which will fit either the Convertible or Hardtop models. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver and is rated for 150lb tongue weight rating and 1000lb trailer weight rating making it a great choice for carrying...
view full answer... - Will the EcoHitch Fit a 2020 Mini Cooper Single Exhaust Hard TopYes. As long as your 2020 Mini Cooper does not have the S or John Cooper Works package then the EcoHitch # 306-X7290 will work for you. It sounds like you don't have either of those trim packages, so this will be the correct hitch. There is not a hitch available for either of those trim packages currently.
view full answer... - How to Transport Bikes with 2019 Mini Cooper ConvertibleYou are correct that there aren't any trunk-mounted bike racks available for your 2019 Mini Cooper convertible. This is simply because there isn't a good way to securely attach one. The good news though is that you can transport your bikes using a trailer hitch and hitch-mounted carrier, which is actually the method I prefer (even if there was a trunk option for you) because it eliminates any vehicle contact from the rack or bikes to keep the factory paint looking new and also maintains...

- Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2019 Mini Cooper For Kuat Bike RackI feel that the best option for you will be to go with a different bike rack. Currently there are only 1-1/4" receivers available for your 2019 Mini Cooper. Kuat does have bike racks that are specifically designed to work with the 1-1/4" receiver that is available for your 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman. Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Gray # SH12G Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Gunmetal Gray # NV12G Kuat Transfer...
view full answer... - Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed To Fit a 2021 Mini Cooper SE Electric Vehicle? Yes, we have had the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7290 confirmed to fit on a 2021 Mini Cooper SE by a customer. I do recommend installing the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to connect to Auxiliary Lights # C53201 when using a hitch mounted accessory which impairs the view of your tail lights.
view full answer... - Correct Tongue Weight Capacity of EcoHitch 306-X7290 Class I HitchThe tongue weight capacity of the EcoHitch Class I hitch, part # 306-X7290 is 150 lbs. I've confirmed this with my EcoHitch representative. At one time, the tongue weight capacity was listed as 100 lbs, but EcoHitch recently did additional testing and determined that the tongue weight capacity was 150 lbs. If you click the provided link, you can see an installation video featuring the # 306-X7290 hitch. If you're needing a bike rack but don't already have one, check out our selection...
view full answer... - Can 2021 Mini Cooper Convertible Transport 50 lb E-BikeWe have solutions that will allow you to carry your 50 lb e-bike but none of the trunk mounted bike racks are rated for carrying more than a 35 lbs bike. So you'd need to have a hitch installed on your 2021 Mini Cooper Convertible like the EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 and then you'd be able to install and use an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. I attached an install video for the hitch and a review video for the bike rack.
view full answer... - Recommended 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4 Inch Receiver on 2021 Mini CooperThe best bike rack option for you will depend quite a bit on what type of bikes you're wanting to carry. I prefer a platform type rack versus a hanging style, as they're easier for most folks to load. Both Thule and Yakima make a high quality product, but given a choice between the two, I'd recommend the Thule products as they're manufactured in the US. The Thule T2 Classic, part # TH9045 would be a great choice for carrying two bikes weighing up to 50 lbs each. The rack can fold up against...
view full answer... - Hitch that Fits 2021 Mini Cooper Convertible Non-S or JWThe EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 is a confirmed fit for the 2021 Mini Cooper Convertible non-S and non-JW like what you mentioned.
view full answer... - Will EcoHitch Hitch Receiver # 306-X7290 Fit 2015 Mini Cooper with Mounted Spare Tire The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7290 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2015 Mini Cooper, as long as it has the single exhaust and it is not the S Series or John Cooper model. I spoke with my contact at EcoHitch and he did confirm that this hitch is compatible with those that have the spare tire mounted underneath and there will be no interference between it and the hitch. This custom-fit hitch features a hidden crosstube that installs behind the rear...
view full answer... - E-Bike Solution for 2014 Mini CooperSince none of the trunk mounted bike racks have the weight capacity for a 50 lb weight capacity you'd have to go with a hitch mounted option as they have higher weight capacities like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. You would need a hitch for your 2014 Mini Cooper like with the EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 if you have non-center exhaust or part # EH47FR for if you do have the center exhaust. The EasyFold XT not only has the weight capacity but it also has a ramp that pulls out to make...

The EcoHitch # EH47FR that you are looking at is only compatible with the John Cooper Works and S series Mini's. I have linked an installation video below that will help you through the installation process for the receiver on your Mini.
