• Comparing the Roadmaster Combo Wiring Kit and Roadmaster Diode Flexo-Coil Kit
• The RoadMaster Falcon 2 and Falcon All-Terrain Combo Towing Kit # RM-9243-1 was designed as a combo kit to be purchased along with Roadmaster Falcon Towbars like # RM-520. The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 is a more 'universal' kit that focuses on giving you a 7-wire to 6-wire harness no matter what tow bar you have. The main difference is the Falcon Kit # RM-9243-1 has 8,000 lb capacity safety cables and extra tow bar accessories, while the Diode Kit...

• Product Comparison Thule T2 vs. Kuat Sherpa for a 2010 MINI Cooper
• For your 2010 Mini Cooper, I would recommend the lighter Kuat Sherpa, item # SH12G, bike rack over the Thule T2 Classic, item # TH9045, bike rack for several reasons. First, the lighter weight of the Sherpa rack will allow you to safely carry heavier bikes on the rack. You will need to be sure that the total weight of the bikes, everything on them and the bike rack are within the tongue weight capacity of your Mini Cooper and hitch. Normally Class I hitches have a 200 pound tongue weight...

• Comparing Wiring Harnesses for a 2019 MINI Countryman S
• The Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT and Curt # C59236 are essentially the same thing, with the difference being the ZCI, as you noted, doesn't require splicing. The Curt has slightly higher max amp ratings (7.5 for tail and 5 for stop/turn) than the Tekonsha kit (7.5 for tail and 4.2 for stop/turn). Ultimately they will both work with your vehicle and get the job done so it just kind of boils down to how much you're willing to spend or if you have used a specific type in the past and been happy...

• What Is The Class Rating And SAE Certification Of The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11387
• The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11387, is a Class I hitch with a SAE J684 Certification. I called the supplier (Curt) about the SAE certification and they said the J684 certification is a federally mandated certification that has to be on all trailer hitches. The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11387, will fit the 2008 Mini Clubman. It has a gross towing weight of 2,000 lbs. and a tongue weight of 200 lbs. If this hitch is used for non-trailer loads, like bike racks...

• Difference in Hitches for a 2013 Mini Countryman John Copper Works Model
• Yes, they are different hitches. The hardware looks similar and so does the installation methods but the hitches are different. The M7 Speed MINI Ultimate Utility Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" item # 327-60-160201 is for the John Copper Works model of the 2013 Mini Countryman and the M7 Speed MINI Ultimate Utility Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" item # 327-60-160200 does not fit the John Copper Works model. You will want to confirm what model Mini you have. Neither hitch fits the hybrid...

• Difference Between Tekonsha 119251 and 119250 ZCI Wiring Harness for Mini Cooper
• The 119251 part that you referenced is actually the same as the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Wiring Harness # 119250KIT, which is indeed a fit for your 2010 Mini Cooper. We simply use a different part number on our end for organizational purposes, but both numbers refer to the same exact kit from Tekonsha (the 119251 is the number Tekonsha uses). This is a great kit for your Mini Cooper as it uses zero-contact interface sensors to identify the current coming through the factory wires...

• Which Base Plates for Flat Towing for 2014 Mini Countryman S
• Generally you'll want to choose base plates based off what tow bar you've already got, since base plates and tow bars that are not of the same brand are only compatible with an additional adapter. As far as quality goes, both Roadmaster and Blue Ox make extremely high quality parts, and it's ultimately like choosing between Nike and Adidas. With that said, I do prefer the Blue Ox # BX1308 over the (discontinued) Roadmaster RM-521883-5 for your 2014 Mini Countryman S because the base plates...
