Hidden trailer receiver hitch, designed specifically for your MINI, to tow, haul cargo, bikes, and more! The average installation time for this hitch is 1.5 to 2 hours, plus another 1 to 1.5 hours for the wiring kit. Drop-shipped directly from the manufacturer, and usually ships in 1-2 weeks. Delivery times may vary depending on inventory.
Fits the following models:
- 2012-2015 R58 MINI Cooper S COUPE
The Hitch is a heavy duty Steel assembly that mounts behind the plastic part of the MINI bumper and uses factory hardware and mounting location for a seamless and integrated look that is safe and secure and offers MINI owners the flexibility to haul, tow, attach or carry stuff they otherwise would never be able to. The hitch mounts between the large bumper support beam and the chassis.
These trailer receiver hitches have all been certified by Test Link Services, Inc. using SAE J684 Department of Transportation testing standards to meet a tongue weight rating of 150 lbs and a maximum tow rating of 1500 lbs. Many states require the use of a SAE J684 certified hitch for hauling and towing. These trailer receiver hitches are the only commercially available certified trailer hitch for the Mini Cooper S with a 150 lb tongue weight and 1500 lb towing weight!
- 1-1/4" class 1 receiver
- Powder-coated black to resist rust
- 150 lb maximum tongue weight
- 1500 lb maximum towing capacity
- Installs with ordinary hand tools
Accessing the hitch to insert the hitch lock pin requires reaching behind the plastic part of the bumper and above the exhaust tips. Confirm the exhaust tips have cooled off first. The first few times it will be a bit challenging to work 'blind' but it will get easier. Accessing the hitch pin will only be required if a accessory or drawbar is added or removed.
Once installed, the hitch can be used to attach just about any off-the-shelf trailer, bike rack or luggage trays that have a 1-1/4" size connection. The vast majority of MINI drivers will use our hitch in conjunction with an aftermarket bike rack attachment (like Thule, Yakima, etc.). A 1-1/4" hitch connection is required and the post needs to be long enough to clear the bumper.
For the R58 JCW Coupe, see G2NME6100.

For the R58 Coupe, we are comfortable in saying these racks will fit the R58 Coupe when equipped with our R58 Hitch. Since we are unable to test every hitch in the market, we can't make a blanket statement saying all bike racks will work with 'any' hitch on the Coupe - but most 'should' work fine.
