Does Stealth Hitch for 2016 BMW X5 Require Trimming Rear Bumper
Question:
I have a 2016 BMW X5 , by adding this, does it require me to cut or trim my bumper?
asked by: Ryan
Helpful Expert Reply:
The Stealth part # SH98VR that you referenced is the hitch opening and trailer wiring add-on for the Stealth hitch # SH56VR that fits your 2016 BMW X5 which we also carry as a complete kit with part # SH52VR. This does not require trimming or cutting of the bumper fascia but the hitch body/tube does replace the rear bumper beam of the vehicle.
