Who Is REESE?
When TJ REESE was challenged by his wife to be creative and fix a problem, he stepped up to the challenge, designing the first RV stabilizing jacks. The new creation revolutionized the RV industry, allowing RVers to walk through their rigs without the towables tilting side to side.
Since the first set of jacks rolled off the line back in 1952, REESE has added to its offerings with hitches, ball mounts, pins and clips, coupler locks, and more! Its innovative designs, strength, and durability have kept REESE at the forefront of the towing industry for decades. As the trusted brand for beginners and seasoned pros alike, REESE makes the journey as enjoyable as the destination.

Custom-Fit Hitches
For more than half a century, REESE has led the way in quality and dependability with its extensive line of custom-built trailer hitches for light duty to super duty towing and everything in between. REESE’s Class III/IV trailer hitches are made of solid, all-welded steel construction and are tested to the highest standards for maximum strength and safety. Each is also painted with a black powder coat finish to resist rust and corrosion, so you can spend less time worrying about your connection and more time enjoying the journey (or getting the job done!) It’s just part of what makes REESE a trusted leader in the towing and trailering industry

REESE Also Provides
In addition to its custom-fit trailer hitches, REESE is a big player in the heavy-duty towing realm, with a complete line of fifth wheel hitches, gooseneck hitches, pin boxes, and weight distribution systems. REESE also offers an array of cargo accessories like carriers and bike racks, and towing accessories including ball mounts, pins and clips, and coupler locks. Everything you need to connect your trailer securely to your vehicle, so you can enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

Dependable Quality
REESE’s custom-fit trailer hitches are durable, dependable, and tough! Built out of solid, all-welded steel, the legacy brand’s trailer hitches are covered with a black E-Coat base paint with a black powder coat finish. Two-layers of protection that deliver long-term corrosion resistance and years of sophisticated style. REESE hitches are rigorously tested to exceed V-5 and SAE J684 standards and are closely inspected to make sure they meet the highest standard of quality and workmanship.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2018This hitch fit my 2012 X5 35i perfectly. I did need to trim the bumper fascia to fit though. I simply dremeled a 8.5" x 2.75" rectangle in it and it slid right over the hitch. It looks outstanding from the road and not bad even when you look up at it from underneath. I thought the plastic chrome cover was cheesy, so I didn't use it. It may suit someone else's taste, but I was glad it wasn't a necessary component. Fast shipping and easy install. I'm very happy!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2014I installed this hitch to hold a bike rack, not pull a trailer. For that purpose, it works just fine. Installation requires many steps and took me a few hours, but it wasn't terribly hard. There's a video online (just do a search) showing the process step-by-step, and that gave me the confidence to do the job. The hitch does come with directions, but they were not as clear as the video. (They do have the torque specs you'll need, though.) The end result looks fine. Nobody would mistake this for a factory installation, but then the original BMW hitch costs hundreds more and only looks a little better.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2016Very solid tow hitch. I installed it in a few hours. Fit perfectly on my 2013 X5.
I highly recommend it. I used it a few days later to tow some ATVs.
Be careful taking off the old bumper to avoid cracking it. I also put a blanket under the bumper at the last step in case it fell. It's difficult to support and remove, so good to have a second person helping at that stage.
There are some good videos showing how to remove the bumper and install the hitch.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2020Awesome product! Very easy to install. Looks like a OEM. Heavy Duty

- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2020Unimpressed by the poor packing and hitch that arrived with paint flaking off in 1" chips in several locations. This part is stamped made in Mexico. Apparently on a Monday.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2019Lines up perfect. Watched a YouTube video on how to remove bumper. Fitted to 2012 BMW X5. X5 Bumper has to be cut with a knife 8” across center and 2” back. But can’t see the cut with the hitch installed since it’s practically under the car.
ONLY ISSUE: Rivets did not fit my car. The ones provided were way to small.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2014Install took a little over an hour. I'm meticulously when it comes to adding or customizing my X5 and this receiver was a perfect fit. Very little trimming of the under side of the bumper cover is all that was needed and no integrity was sacrificed. It drops the receiver pretty low to the ground but I use an andersen aluminum adjustable hitch and it looks as good as it works. I haul my 4000lb boat and a flat bed utility trailer periodically. This receiver turned my race car/suv into one bad ass little truck!
