The ball mount included in this kit inserts into the center block of the hitch in place of the receiver attachment. A 2" hitch ball is included with the ball mount, making it ready to tow with out of the box.

If you want to take your bikes to the trail with your family this summer, you have plenty of options. You can carry your bikes on top of your car with a roof rack, but that bulky rack can increase drag on your ride. You can use a trunk rack, but that's a pain to mount and it can scratch your car's paint. Or you can install a hitch on your ride and use a hitch-mounted bike rack to carry your bikes.
This rack receiver is designed to act as a mounting point for your hitch bike rack or cargo carrier. Just slide the shank of your carrier into the receiver for use, and when you're done you can not only remove the carrier, but the receiver as well, leaving your vehicle looking clean and unmodified.
Completely Hidden Design
Nothing can ruin the clean, stylish look of your vehicle like a giant piece of metal bolted beneath its bumper. Luckily, with the Stealth Hitches rack receiver, you never have to worry about messing up your vehicle's lines.
This hitch installs behind your bumper, keeping the cross tube concealed and leaving only the hitch receiver visible. Even better, the receiver can be easily removed from the cross tube when it's not in use so that you won't see any trace of the hitch. This means that you can retain that clean, from-the-factory look for your ride, while still being able to carry your bikes and gear on the next family road trip.
Simple Set Up
The receiver can be attached or detached in seconds with no tools required. To insert the receiver, simply pop the base up into the stainless steel block at the center of the hitch until it automatically latches in place.
Be sure to then press the lock on the side of the block to fully secure the receiver. When you're finished carrying your bikes or cargo, use the included key to unlock the latch. Then turn the handle on the block clockwise and remove the receiver. You can stow the receiver in a safe place, like your vehicle's rear cargo area, or you can use a convenient carrying case (391CASER - sold separately).
And when you're not using the receiver attachment, the included hitch plug covers the center block's opening to protect the hitch's body from dirt and debris.

If you want a hidden hitch for your performance vehicle then look no further. The hitch is very well made and solid. The included instructions are helpful, but there are some Youtube videos that are even more informative. Getting the bumper cover off the vehicle is a real challenge. I used the tips of wood shims to release the wheel arches plastic clips and bamboo skewers to release the rear gate clips. Disconnecting the PDC sensor cable is a big pain too. The whole process requires immense patience and attention to detail. Good luck with your installation.

I want to start off to say that I LOVE my Stealth Hitch. I would like to say if you're looking for a hitch and you don't want a hitch that is going to ruin the look of your SUV, you have to get the Stealth Hitch. My BMW X5 is the sport package and I didn't want a hitch to be sticking out of the rear of my SUV when not in use. Putting on and taking off the receiver on my BMW is very easy. I was a little concerned about having the rear facia of my car taking off to have the hitch installed but it was worth it. I used a local independent hitch installer who did a GREAT job. I would say shop around because I was getting all kinds of crazy prices for installation. My hitch was installed in 2 hours flat. I would say if you shopping around for a hitch and want to keep your SUV just the way you bought it without a hitch sticking out, get the Stealth Hitch. I have done so much homework on YouTube and social media and every time the Stealth Hitch is what keeps coming up if you want to save the look of your vehicle
Oh! and one last thing I don't in any way work for etrailer. I'm just a consumer that thinks that this hitch is perfect and great for our mountain bikes
Thanks, etrailer :)

I always heard good things about the Stealth hitches and decided to go for it to put in on my X5 which has the M Sports package, it fit perfectly and was snug. Top advantage being the receiver can be removed when not in use so that the vehicle has the original look. Highly recommended.

Probably the best hitch you can buy for your car especially if you want to keep the look of your car stock. You will not regret it buying this product.

Superior Customer Service! The one and only company in the WORLD that has not made COVD and Excuse! Instead their employees "Bucked Up" to get It done.

Really like the ability to remove the hitch when not in use. Easy mechanism to release and remove. So worth the extra money for the clean look.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch that Fits 2017 BMW X5 M Sport PackageWe have a hitch that fit your 2017 BMW X5 M Sport but the # 13077 only fits the M models of the 2017 BMW X5.
