CURT parts for the 2005 BMW X5
A Class 3 hitch puts a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat behind your 2005 BMW X5. CURT 13162 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 6,000 lb gross trailer weight and 600 lb tongue weight, $454.90 CAD. Shipping is free anywhere in Canada.
Plan on about 60 minutes for the install; CURT rates it advanced, so expect some drilling or trim work.
A hitch is the receiver only. If you're pulling a trailer you'll need a wiring harness for the brake and turn signals, and the wiring guide walks you through four-flat and seven-way.
What you need to tow with a 2005 BMW X5

2005 BMW X5 hitch questions
Which trailer hitch fits a 2005 BMW X5?
CURT 13162 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 6,000 lb gross trailer weight and 600 lb tongue weight.
How much can a 2005 BMW X5 tow with this hitch?
The hitch is rated to 6,000 lb gross trailer weight and 600 lb tongue weight, or 6,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your X5 has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.
Does the hitch come with trailer wiring?
No. The hitch is the receiver and hardware. For a bike rack you don't need wiring at all; for a trailer you need a harness, and the wiring guide covers four-flat and seven-way.
