Class 1 trailer hitch, BMW 5 Series

Whatever your definition of adventure — whether it's hopping on the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping as a family in the middle of nowhere — CURT class 1 hitches offer a lightweight towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is designed to fit a vehicle-specific, offering easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom-fit class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of small vehicle types, including the compact car, full-size car, minivan and small SUV. This class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the BMW 525, 528, 530, 535, 545 and 550 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW capacity. It is equipped with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount or other hitch carrier. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is particularly useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also generally be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc.). While CURT class 1 trailer hitches are intended only for light-duty towing, we apply the same quality principles as the rest of our rear hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precision welding. We use a co-cured finish of A-coat, both inside and out, along with a durable black powder coat to provide a long-lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
