Trailer Hitch Installation - 2013 Mini Countryman - Curt- Video
Today on a 2013 Mini Countryman, we'll be installing the Curt trailer hitch receiver , class 1, 1 1/4 part number C11333. This is what our hitch looks like installed on our Mini Countryman. As you can see, the cross tube of our hitch, is tucked up here, behind the fascia. The only that sticks out here, is the actual receiver tube, which has our 1/2 inch hitch pin hole, and access to our chain tie downs. The Curt hitch has a nice welded ridge right around the receiver tube just to give it added strength, and has a nice black powder coat finish, to resist corrosion and rust. The only modifications to your vehicle you have to do, is just trim out a little part of the fascia underneath, so it's not too difficult, and the minor locations are studs that hold the bumper bracket behind the bumper fascia. Once you get that removed, the hitch is extremely easy to install. Now the hitch does have a 200lb towing weight capacity, and a 2000lb towing capacity, but you do want to check with your manufacturer to see what the specifications are for your vehicle. more
