Looking for the best trailer hitch for your BMW X5? This one is built to outperform every alternative.
Designed specifically for the 2019 - 2026 BMW X5, this trailer hitch combines strength, style, and everyday convenience in a way no competitor can match.
Featuring the world's only stainless steel receiver (patent pending) means it will never rust, protecting your garage floor and concrete driveway from stubborn orange stains that are impossible to remove.

Featuring our 2” receiver, this hitch features the highest ratings on the market for hauling.
With a tongue weight rating of 750 pounds, this hitch is designed to haul E-bikes, cargo trays, camping gear, or other adventure essentials without breaking a sweat.
Engineered for seamless compatibility, it lets you use all your existing hitch accessories without the need for extra adapters that cause rattling, noise, or instability—giving you a smooth, quiet, and secure driving experience every time.
Maintains full hands-free kick sensor functionality so you never lose the convenience you love.

Key Features:
Why Other Trailer Hitches Rust
Traditional hitches may prevent accessories from fusing with the vehicle frame-mounted part but fail to protect against rust, causing inconvenience and limiting hitch usage.
Simple Installation
Designed for simplicity, our hitch offers a 100 percent bolt-on installation that won’t disrupt your vehicle’s aerodynamics or require roof-mounted cargo.
EcoHitch® Trailer Hitch Strength
Coated in high-impact powder coat with a Chasm Black finish, our hitches are meticulously sandblasted for maximum durability. Made from a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and steel.
American-Made with a REAL Warranty
Proudly Made in America, our X5 hitch is backed by our Legendary Lifetime Warranty. Our knowledgeable team is ready to assist you with installation and support.
***IMPORTANT NOTICE:
While EcoHitch®️ trailer hitches are built with high-strength materials and tested for exceptional weight ratings, your vehicle’s factory towing capacities are the ultimate limit. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine its maximum towing and tongue weight ratings. No aftermarket hitch or accessory can increase your vehicle’s factory-rated towing capacities.
Using hauling accessories like extensions, cargo trays, bike racks, or other accessories that extend the load out from the trailer hitch, will significantly reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch system.
To estimate how your setup will affect tongue weight, we recommend using our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator before hauling your payload (cargo trays, bike racks, etc).
Disclaimer: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure safe towing practices and to confirm that all loads fall within the limits of the lowest-rated component in the towing system. Torklift is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from the misuse or overloading of towing/hauling equipment.
