Interchangeable Ball Set for a Curt Class I Trailer Hitch and Ball Mount for a 2008 Mini Cooper S
Question:
I plan to order your hidden Curt hitch and drawbar for a 2009 Mini Cooper S and since that drawbar has a 3/4 in hole , I wonder about this ball shank dia. As well as the shank length.

Expert Reply:
The Curt trailer hitch for a 2009 Mini Cooper S is # C11130, which is a Class-1 hitch with a 1-1/4" square receiver opening. This is for hardtop or convertible, but not for models with a single center exhaust.
You will need a ball mount and tow bar to tow a small trailer. I recommend the Curt # C45023 mount and a Curt # C40018 hitch ball with a 3/4" diameter shank.
For wiring use kit # 119250KIT. I have linked the wiring instructions as well.
