Class III Trailer Hitch Installation Video for 2015 BMW X5 SUV

Question:

I would like to put a hitch on my 2015 BMW X5. I put one of yours on a 2011 no problem, very good video. Do you have a video for the 2015? It appears to have different panels and backup camera + sensors.

We produce installation videos for hitches whenever our local customers bring their vehicles in to us but no local customer with a 2015 BMW X5 has come in for a hitch install.

However, the linked install video for Draw-Tite hitch # 75600 showing a 2011 model year X5 will still be a good representation. My contact at Draw-Tite confirmed that the installation steps will be essentially identical for your 2015 model year. Steps include some trimming of the rear fascia and temporary removal of the bumper. No drilling is required. You'll need to obtain some replacement plastic pop rivets from your local dealership.

The hitch's written install instructions are linked for you as well, along with a helpful article with tips for easier hitch installation.
