One of my contacts at Curt Manufacturing advised me that, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Custom Item # C11522 is compatible with the automatic tailgate sensors on the 2018 Mini Countryman.

This trailer hitch is perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction.. Please note: all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
