• Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring Harness For a 2022 Mini Countryman John Cooper Works Edition

The 4-way can also be used to operate the lights on a small trailer if you will be towing.

• So the reason there is two Blue Ox base plate kits that fit your 2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop base model part # BX1312 and # BX1307 is because the 1307 was designed for the older vehicles whereas the 1312 was designed for newer vehicles but it ended up there is a bit of crossover in some models around your year of 2015 since some of the changes were rolling.

• Which Cargo Boxes Will Fit the Factory Roof Rack on a 2017 Mini Countryman
• As far as physically fitting the factory crossbars on your 2017 Mini Countryman you can use any of the Thule or Yakima boxes. No adapters needed. But you will want to be cautious if you want a box that will not interfere with the rear hatch. For example one of the shortest Thule boxes is # TH614. On this box it measures slightly under 42-5/8 inches from the center of the rear attachment point to the back of the box. What that means is that you will need to have 42-5/8 inches or more from...

• Tow Dolly for 2016 Mini Clubman S With Low Ground Clearance
• There won't be any problems towing your 2016 Mini Clubman S on a tow dolly, even with its low ground clearance at the rear. The vehicle's rear axle and wheels are very far back, so it isn't going to tilt downwards enough to cause issues over flat pavement, though over speed bumps, if it is raised up enough, it could of course hit the ground, and unfortunately there really isn't any way to overcome that type of obstacle. If you do choose to dolly tow, the best options by far are the Demco...

• Will the Thule OutWay 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Mini Cooper S Hard Top
• The Thule OutWay, # TH45JV, will fit the 2011 Mini Cooper S provided that there is a gap between the spoiler at the top of the vehicle and the body of the vehicle so the cables and latches can fit through. If any part of the rack makes contact with the spoiler you cannot use the rack. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level.

• Will the Curt Hitch for a 2011 Mini Cooper Work With Third Brake Light In Bumper
• In regards to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11160 which is a fit for a 2011 Mini Cooper, the third brake light will need to be removed if present. The light can be kept for reuse if the hitch is removed and you can simply zip-tie the harness off to the side. Most models simply have a knockout panel present but the hitch will still work on models with third brake light. The spare tire will not be an issue.

• Can A 2019 Mini Countryman Be Flat Towed?
• The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1312 that you mentioned is actually meant to fit the: - 2016 - 2020 Mini Cooper Convertible - S models - 2015 - 2021 Mini Cooper Hardtop - S models. I did go ahead and check the owner's manual, and it appears that there was a new "Intelligent Safety System" that was added, which is why it isn't recommended to flat tow the vehicle as it could damage the system. So, if you have the ALL4, then it must be transported by flatbed truck only. If you have the...

• Will the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack Clear the Hatch On a 2020 Mini Countryman
• I don't have direct confirmation of the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack part # TH598004 clearing the hatch on any one particular vehicle as there are just too many variables. That said, I looked up the factory roof rack on a 2020 Mini Countryman and compared this to the length of the carrier and you should be fine.
