If you would like to upgrade this rack receiver for towing, you will need to purchase the Stealth Hitches towing kit (SH58VR - sold separately). 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.
- Maximum gross trailer weight with towing kit: 8,000 lbs
- Not rated for weight distribution systems
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.

This completely hidden hitch keeps your vehicle looking like it just came off the assembly line. Remove the receiver for a fully concealed look when you're not carrying your bikes to the trail. Only for use with hitch-mounted racks and carriers.by: William04/13/2023
Installing takes time but was simplified with etrailer's DIY videos. So far this hitch has performed well with no issues. I only use it for accessories not towing. It is very stealth. I would highly recommend this solution if you want to maintain a clean look.

Fits excellent, arrived in good condition. Watch the [online] video for your specific car and everything will go smoothly.
by: Christopher 01/04/2024
Terrific, zero-frustration install. I used a combination of the printed directions (color; came in the box) and the YouTube video. Everything was clear, precise and made the installation simply a function of time.
It took about 2.5 hours (no wiring).
Overall, it was a labor-intensive one-person job and was not technically difficult.
by: Tom 07/14/2023
Well crafted hitch with the ability to remove the hitch when not in use. Materials are top notch as well as the locking equipment.
Works perfectly.

Amazing fit and finish, would buy again for my other SUVs

Excellent product and post sale service.
by: James02/21/2022
The stealth hitch worked exactly as I expected. Once installed, easy for my local body shop in 2 to 3 hours, it is invisible unless I want to use it. It does take getting on the ground but with a pad for that purpose, it’s easy to set up the hitch for use, put on my bike rack and be on the road. After use, it’s stored in my vehicle for easy access whenever needed.
by: Capt J08/29/2022
Great hitch! Can't tell it's they're when it's not in use. Great concept and quality when you don't want your vehicle to show a hitch whenever you're not using it
by: David 03/13/2023
It took longer than I thought because I was working by myself but everything fit perfectly. Follow the extensive directions and the Youtube videos and you won't have any problems.

- Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver and Towing Kit For a 2023 BMW X5 X-drive M40i For your 2023 BMW X5 X-Drive M40i you will need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH89VR. We also have the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH25VR if you will need to tow a trailer with the receiver. I recommend getting the Carrying Case # 391CASER for the attachments when not in use. This case will protect them and prevent them from rolling around in your storage area.
view full answer... - What Are My HItch Options For A BMW X5Your vehicle is only compatible with the Stealth branded racks. We have two options, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit, part # SH25VR and the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver, part # SH89VR . The hitch receivers are exactly the same, it is the accessories that come with the rack that are different. That accounts for the price difference. Since you are only interested in carrying bikes and not towing the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver would be your...

I've linked to an install video and the installation instructions for you to look over.
view full answer... - Does Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch For A 2023 BMW X5 Require Bumper Trimming When installing The Stealth Hitch # SH89VR onto your 2023 BMW X5 there is no type of fascia or bumper trimming needed in order to install it. The bumper and fascia will remain intact, but there is a small piece that is underneath your vehicle that you will need to trim. The rock/gravel guard that is located underneath your BMW will need a portion of it trimmed in order to install the hitch. I will attach a picture below with a red arrow pointing to what needs to be trimmed. Ignore the yellow...

- Trailer Hitch Receiver For Trailer Towing With a 2023 BMW X5 M-SportYes, we have the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH25VR for your 2023 BMW X5 M-Sport. This includes the the Towing Kit # SH58VR with all the wiring and ball mount for the Receiver # SH89VR. The Carrying Case # 391CASEC is custom molded to hold the receiver and ball mount when not in use. There are also a space for the 7-way to 4-way adapter included in the towing kit.
view full answer... - 2020 BMW X5 M Sport Trailer Hitch RecommendationWhen we've reached out to Draw-Tite in the past about the Trailer Hitch # 76288 fitment on a BMW X5 with the M Sport package they've referenced excessive fascia trimming and the muffler as being the cause for a non-fitment. Because of this I recommend going with the Stealth Hitches alternative for your 2020 BMW X5 M Sport which comes in the following packages: - For Carrying Accessories # SH89VR - For Towing and Carrying Accessories # SH25VR
view full answer... - Correct Stealth Hitch for 2021 BMW X5 M50iThe correct hitch for your 2021 BMW X5 M50i is the # SH89VR. If you want the towing kit included then you need the # SH25VR. The others will not fit. They are designed for the true M version, like the M Competition. The # SH25VR is the same hitch as the # SH89VR it just includes the wiring and receiver required if you want to tow a trailer. If you don't plan on towing now but decide to in the future you can always add the towing kit separately later with the # SH58VR
view full answer... - Stealth Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness for 2020 BMW X5 M50i X-driveThe # SH64MR Stealth Hitch you'd looked at is a fit for your 2020 BMW X5 if it's an M Performance model. If you have the M Sport model, you'd want to use # SH89VR instead. The receiver included with either hitch is designed for carrying hitch mounted accessories only, and isn't designed to tow a trailer. To tow a trailer, you'll need the # SH58VR towing kit which includes the ball mount and the trailer wiring harness assembly. The towing kit is compatible with all models of the 2020 BMW...

The installation of the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH89VR will not prevent you from being able to use your hands free lift gate on your 2022 BMW X5 xdrive40i, M package. This particular kit only includes the 2" receiver tube for attaching hitch mounted accessories. If you plan on towing a trailer or will need to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 you will want to get the Kit # SH25VR. This includes the receiver above along with the Towing Kit # SH58VR which includes a ball mount...
view full answer... - Installation of Stealth Hitch SH89VR on 2020 BMW X5I don't have a recommendation for a specific shop, but I can recommend a specific type of shop to install the Stealth Hitch # SH89VR for you on your 2020 BMW X5. As you can see in the linked video the installation is pretty involved, requiring removal of the rear bumper cover. Most of your typical shops might not have the expertise to remove these without damaging them but a body shop should be able to do the install with no problem as they have experience in removing body panels. Do...
view full answer... - Will Stealth Hitch Fit 2021 BMW X5 45e M-Sport PHEVYes, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH89VR will fit your 2021 BMW X5 45e PHEV with the M-Sport package. This is only intended for hitch-mounted accessories, so if you plan on towing you will want the # SH25VR instead. The towing kit can also be added later using # SH58VR
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2022 BMW X5 45e M-Sport No, it does not but I have one that does. To add a hitch to your 2022 BMW X5 45e M-Sport you will need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit item # SH25VR if you plan on towing or item # SH89VR if you're just going to be using the hitch for accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. These are the only two options that will fit your BMW. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this hitch set up.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2021 BMW X5 M Sports PackageYes we do have a hitch that fits your 2021 BMW X5 with the M Sports Package with the Stealth Hitch part # SH25VR for if you were planning on towing (comes with ball mount attachment and trailer wiring), or the part # SH89VR for if you just wanted to carry a bike rack or a cargo carrier.
view full answer... - Does Install of Draw-Tite 76288 Require Bumper Trimming on 2020 BMW X5According to Draw-Tite, fascia trimming would indeed be required to install the # 76288 on your 2020 BMW X5. The good news is that the trimming is done to the underside of the fascia, so the trimmed area isn't very visible from the rear of the vehicle, as shown in the provided photo. All the hitches offered for the 2020 X5 will require some trimming, compared to the Stealth # SH89VR, the Draw-Tite # 76288 would require a very small amount of trimming.

- BMW X5 Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver Clearance ConcernI would be happy to help you and answer your questions. I read that review and checked with Draw-Tite it looks like that problem is an isolated incident. It sounds like there was either a manufacturer defect or more likely an error made during installation that would have caused the receiver to angle downwards. I have attached a picture of this hitch receiver installed on a 2020 BMW X5. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver and is designed to hide the crosstube so all you...

- How to Find Installer for Stealth Hitch on 2023 BMW X6 M50iYou can find someone to install the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH89VR on your 2023 BMW X6 using the local trailer hitch installers link below. I have already entered Austin, TX for you but you can adjust the zip code as needed. This is intended for hitch-mounted accessories only.

view full answer... - Is Trailer Hitch Receiver Available for 2021 BMW X5 MWe do have a hitch for your 2021 BMW X5 M. However, the correct hitch depends on what you mean by M. If you have an actual M performance model, which would be the M or the M Competition, then the correct hitch is the # SH64MR. If you plan on using it for towing then you will need the # SH22MR which comes with the towing kit. If you have the X5 with the M Sport Package, the correct hitch is the # SH89VR. For the hitch with the towing kit you will need the # SH25VR. If you get the hitch...
view full answer... - Is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver SH89VR the Correct Fit For a 2023 BMW X5 M PackageThe Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH89VR is the correct fit for your 2023 BMW X5 M package. Sometimes our site can be a little bit confusing. When it shows "excluding M Sport package or M performance models" and "models with M Sport Package", it simply means that it will work with the M package and without the M package. I am not sure if you already have a bike rack or still need one, but I really like the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y36FR. I like this rack because of its versatility....
view full answer... - Best Trailer Hitch for a 2020 BMW X5The best trailer hitch option for a 2020 BMW X5 is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # SH89VR or part # SH25VR for towing. This is the best trailer hitch because it will be completely hidden once installed. It also fits the xLine and M-Sport/M-Package models. If you have a different model then you can use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76288 which is still a great choice but the receiver tube will still be visible once installed. These are the only two...

This is a totally invisible hitch that comes with everything needed to tow like trailer wiring and a ball mount attachment. If instead you were wanting to just carry a bike rack or cargo carrier you'd want the # SH89VR which only comes with the hitch opening portion.

This hitch provides a receiver that's intended for hitch mounted accessories such as a bike rack or a cargo carrying tray with a 2 inch shank. It's not intended for towing. If you'll be towing, you'll want to use the # SH25VR which includes the receiver for hitch mounted accessories, the ball mount for towing and the 7-way trailer connector and wiring. I don't...
