Curt Trailer Hitch Installation - 2010 BMW 5 Series- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2010 BMW Five Series Wagon we're gonna be taking a look at and installing the Curt class one, custom fit trailer hitch receiver, part number C11194.Here's what our hitch is gonna look like when it's fully installed. It's gonna tuck up nicely behind our fascia and all we're really gonna see is the receiver tube opening here. Now this is a class one hitch so it's gonna give us that inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter receiver tube opening and it's gonna have a nice, reinforced collar giving it added strength and a nice, clean appearance.Now our hitch is gonna use a standard half inch pin and clip which is included which is nice because we won't have anything extra to buy. Now the safety chain loops are gonna be a rolled, steel stock style welded to the bottom of our receiver tube and as you can see we're not gonna have trouble with most size hooks, getting them on or off.Now our hitch is gonna feature a 200 pound tongue weight along with a 2,000 pound gross trailer weight rating and I just want to mention you always want to double check with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure your vehicle can handle that amount of weight. Now the manufacturer does recommend that you use a stabilization strap whenever you're carrying any non-trailer loads. If you need a stabilization strap you can pick one up on our website using part number 18050.Now I'd like to give you a few measurements that'll help you when deciding for accessories for your new hitch such as a bike rack or a cargo carrier. more
