2008 Mini Cooper hitch questions
Which trailer hitch fits a 2008 Mini Cooper?
CURT 11160 (Class 1, 1-1/4 inch receiver, 2,000 lb) and CURT 11387 (Class 1, 2,000 lb) both fit. Pick the class that covers your trailer with room to spare, then check the fit table on the product page for your build.
How much can a 2008 Mini Cooper tow with this hitch?
The hitch is rated to 2,000 lb gross trailer weight and 200 lb tongue weight. Your Cooper 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.
Do I need a wiring harness for the 2008 Mini Cooper?
If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 56236 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Cooper's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
Will it fit my Cooper?
Nearly every build, with a few exceptions. CURT 11160 doesn't fit the S Model trim. The full fit table is on each product page, so check it before you order.
