This Stealth Hitches trailer hitch includes everything you need to hook up your trailer for towing. The ball mount pops into the hitch's center block so you can attach your trailer's coupler to the hitch ball. The wiring harness lets you power your trailer's lights. And the safety chain loops let you attach your trailer's safety chains. A receiver attachment is included as well for those times you need to use a bike rack or cargo carrier instead of towing your trailer. This all-in-1 solution saves you the headache of scrambling for missing parts, so you can get on the road faster than ever.


Completely Hidden Design

Nothing can ruin the clean, stylish look of your vehicle like a giant piece of metal bolted beneath the bumper. Luckily, with the Stealth Hitches trailer hitch receiver, you never have to worry about messing up your vehicle's lines.


hitch in use comparison

This hitch installs behind your bumper, keeping the cross tube concealed and leaving only the ball mount visible. Even better, the ball mount can be easily removed from the cross tube when it's not in use, so 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 tow your trailer on the next family road trip.


This hitch also comes with a removable 2" square receiver, which can be used to mount any variety of hitch accessories, like your bike rack or cargo carrier.


Simple Set Up

Both the ball mount attachment and receiver attachment can be installed and removed in seconds with no tools required. Simply pop the selected attachment's base up into the stainless steel block at the center of the hitch until it automatically latches in place.


center block locking

Be sure to then press the lock on the side of the block to fully secure the attachment. When you're finished hauling, use the included key to unlock the latch. Then turn the handle on the block clockwise and remove the attachment. You can stow the attachments in a safe place like your vehicle's rear cargo area, or you can use a convenient carrying case (391CASEC - sold separately).


hitch plug and center block

And when you're not using an attachment, the included hitch plug covers the center block's opening to protect the hitch's body from dirt and debris.


Wiring Installation

wiring

The included wiring splices into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area, on the passenger's side. Once you've made all of the necessary connections, insert the provided fuse into the in-line fuse holder.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A magnetic clip is included to attach the connector to your hitch.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

Very straightforward installation on my 2016 BMW 228i. Super clean finished project. All parts look and feel very high quality. I tow my racing kart on a small Harbor Freight trailer. It's super secure. With my car packed and the trailer hitched at 65 mph I get 28mpg! Note the hitch is very heavy and a bit of yoga is required to plug it in & out. When removing your bumper cover, be careful not to rip out your parking sensors. Maybe have someone to catch the cover while you pop it free from the car.

Installed this on an M2 Competition. No issues encountered and the instructions were well written. My model required more heat shield and diffuser cutting [more than the regular 2 series] to open up the area up until enough access for hands to engage the release knob. The modification is not visible at all. The hitch receiver is quiet when towing and engages easily. The PWM for the lighting does not trigger any DTC's. Satisfied. The 'stealth' is what justifies the premium price.

One year later and the mechanics have remained solid. No issues with the latch or attachments. Some paint flaking on the safety chain catches, but structurally they are fine. Still satisfied.

It is a well made kit and now I can trailer the bike to the track when I want to.
