Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2006 Base Model Hard Top Mini Cooper
Question:
Will this Fit on a 2006 Mini Cooper? The part number is #60861 Thanks!
asked by: Joey W
Expert Reply:
For your 2006 Mini Cooper, the only trailer hitch fit is the Curt - Class I # C11126. It will fit hardtop and convertible models with the exclusion of the S series. If using this hitch for a bike carrier or other accessory, Curt requires their stabilization strap # 18050.
If you will be towing or using a lighted accessory I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236.
If you will be doing light towing, I recommend the Curt # C45521 along with either a 1-7/8 inch ball like # A-80 or 2 inch diameter ball like # A-82.
Trailer Hitch 60861 you referenced has been discontinued and was only a fit for certain model years of Hyundai Sonata so it is not a fit for your Mini.
