Is Bumper Trimming Needed to Install Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch on 2023 BMW X5
Question:
I see there is no bumper trimming needed for the 2021 X5 but what about the 2023 is any bumper trimming needed for the 2023 BMW X5?

Nope, the bumper and fascia do not require any trimming to install the Stealth Hitches trailer hitch on your 2023 BMW X5. Just like the 2021 and 2022 models, there is just a piece of rock guard under the vehicle that needs to be trimmed. The photo I have added shows the part that needs to be trimmed.
Stealth Hitches has two options for your 2023 BMW X5 depending on what you will be using the hitch for:
- Bike Rack/Accessory Only: Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH89VR
- Bike Rack/Accessory And Towing: Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH25VR
