Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver: F60 Countryman

Details

We are proud to offer one of the first hitches for the MINI Countryman F60 model. Our hidden hitch mounts behind the bumper between the factory support beam and the chassis and uses factory mounting hardware. The green Countryman shown is a "S" model and the hitch access area is covered by the included square plastic plug. Other variants such as the base Cooper, JCW or other models will have similar rear bumpers, however the access hole may slightly different.

Most of our customers purchase our hitch to attach a bike rack and do not require a Drawbar or Wiring kit.

The MniDoMore Hidden Hitch is custom engineered to fit specific MINI models and is one of the only hitches on the market that is hidden behind the bumper yet accessible for easy use when needed. The actual hitch is accessed through a small square hole in the rear black lower plastic fascia that will need to be cut during installation. We supply a black plug to cover the hole when not in use.

The MniDoMore Hidden Hitch for the MINI F60 Countryman 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.

Accessing the hitch to insert the hitch lock pin requires reaching behind/under the plastic trim of the bumper. The first few times it will be a bit challenging to work 'blind' but it will get easier.

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.
