Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch Receiver For Towing a Motorcycle Trailer With a 2019 BMW X5

Question:

Can I use this hitch on my 2019 BMW X5 Xdrive 50i with the M package to haul a Haulmark model LH712T2 motorcycle trailer. Body length on trailer is 17.2, weight of trailer is 2600 lbs, weight of motorcycle is 900 lbs. From what I have read it says the towing capacity for my car and this trailer is up to 7000 lbs.

To haul your Haulmark motorcycle trailer with your 2019 BMW X5 Xdrive 50i M package you will need the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH25VR. The Receiver # SH89VR you found is the same base but the 2" receiver is only to be used with hitch mounted accessories. It should never be used for a ball mount.

The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH25VR includes a ball mount and wiring for a 7-way connector. There is an adapter to a 4-way flat connector if your trailer does not have trailer brakes. If your trailer does have brakes you will need a controller like the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED52VR. I prefer this controller as it uses a small dash mounted control knob and the main portion of the controller is hidden behind the dash.
