Trailer Hitch and Wireless Brake Controller for 2015 BMW X5 35i X Drive
Question:
Hello, I am getting a camper approx 4300lbs dry. I have a 2017 BMW X5 35i x drive with no OEM tow hitch. I need advise on which hitch setup to use. I dont want to go the stealthhitch route due to pricing. I would need a brake controller and want to use the wireless brake controller. Can you sen me what you think would be the best choice?

The EcoHitch part # EH44FR would work great on your 2015 BMW X5 35i X drive and is priced better than the Stealth hitch.
To use the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C51180 you will need to install a 7-way on the vehicle which will require starting first with a 4-way part # C56190KIT and then using the # ETBC7L.
