Best 2008 BMW X5 Hitch Options- Video
Today on our 2008 BMW X5 we'll be looking at our best hitch options. Here are our two hitches here today. On the top we have a Draw-Tite class three, part number 75600. On the bottom here we have a CURT class three, part number 13077. Now both of these hitches are a fairly involved installation. You have to remove the entire rear bumper cover of the vehicle and temporarily remove the rear crash bar. The Draw-Tite hitch here on the top reinstalls using factory hardware. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 BMW X5 - Hidden Hitch- Video
Today on this 2008 BMW X5, we're going to show you the Hidden Hitch Class III 2-inch receiver hitch, part number 87455. This is what the hitch looks like when it's installed on the X5 from BMW. There's not much to see. It's just a receiver that sits right below the bumper. It has a 2-inch opening right here with a rounded collar, kind of softens the edge up a little bit, and if we look further back onto the receiver opening here, we have 2 holes. Your ball mount and your accessories will always use a 5/8 of an inch hitch pin hole. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 BMW x5 - Curt- Video
Today on our 2008 BMW X5, we'll be installing the Curt hitch, part number 13077. Here's what our hitch looks like installed on our vehicle. Now we'll go ahead and give you a couple of measurements in helping you choose some accessories for your hitch, such as a bike rack, ball mount or cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of the bumper is approximately 3 1/2 inches and from the top of the opening in the receiver to the ground is approximately 14 inches. Now let's go ahead and install our hitch. To install this hitch, we're going to need to remove the lower fascia off the rear of the vehicle. To begin with, we'll need to drill out two pop rivets that are in the inner fender well on each side. more
