Good morning!
I have a 2021 Countryman S ALL4 on order and would love to add a hitch receiver. I'd like to mount a 4-bike carrier but most call for a class II hitch (tongue weight of 350 lbs) - Thule for example.

The two hitch styles I've found are all rated as class I (tongue weight of 200lbs).

Does anyone know of a class II hitch for the 2020-2021 Countryman S ALL4 or can you share an experience with a 4-bike carrier on a class I hitch?

Thanks!

Get in touch with these guys! I have had 4-5 of their hitches over the years, if they don't have it they can possibly make it!

Looks like they made them for the previous generation...

Thanks for your response! Torklift didn't confirm a fit to the 2021; I think they're waiting for more to hit the road before they confirm their designs fit the 2021 model... so we wait.

Thanks again,
Will

I also want a 2” receiver hitch on my 2021 Mini Cooper Countryman S. I found a hitch at Stealthhitches.com but there aren’t any reviews and it’s quite pricey at $569. I talked to several U-Haul locations about the Stealthhitches and they don’t want to install it so I keep looking and waiting. I’ll be watching this feed for updates. Thanks!

Our local U Haul had no problem installing
a 2” Stealth Hitch on my wife’s 2020 M240i
‘vert. The Countryman shouldn’t be
significantly harder than that based on
looking at the instructions. The U Hauls
in your area are probably either lazy or
inexperienced or both.
The Stealth Hitch is a great product.

Thanks Cristo. I guess I’ll have to find someone willing to do it. Possibly a body shop.

Look at the instructions on the site
and decide if you’re up to doing it
yourself without breaking tabs off.

I got the Thule T2 XT 2” model to
go with it (expandable to 4 bike with the 2”
receiver model). Pricey but very nicey.
