so i went to a trailer joint (the biggest around) trailor city and they recomended this one and i think it'll suite my needs !! i wanted to get some opinions from the masters of the x5 !!
http://www.hiddenhitch.com/fitguides/pdf/N87405.pdf
i like it for a couple o reasons :
1)it goes where the stock one would
2)it bolts to the front and rear crossmembers
3)its rated for 6k lbs
4)its cheap @ $171.00
im more worried about asstetics then anything as i only tow an atv or two on occasion nothing more than 2000 lbs.this one looks like it would mimic the factory hitch !!
what i am worried about is the wiring harness crapp !! the installer at the place said he wouldnt touch it since it such a complicated car and such , he'd do the install but not the wiring ..now my cousin own an indie shop and hes really good so im gonna have him do it but do you think if i get a uhaul wiring kit im gonna have prob's like error's and stuff ?? has anyone hooked up an aftermarket wiring harness for the hitch and had good luck ?? any and all feed back would be greatly appreciated !!
thanks guys and gals
