Thumbs up Countryman trailer hitches.

Greetings everyone, I am considering buying the new Countryman S All 4, Park Lane edition. My wife and I already own an R59 Midnight Black Roadster S, which we love.

Here is the problem though. I cannot cram enough stuff into the back of the Countryman. Does anyone know if they make a trailer hitch for the Countryman?

The dealer said I could tow up to 1000 lbs, but cannot find any trailer hitches out there.

Thanks

I believe M7 makes a quality hitch for the Countryman.

I received my hitch from M7 last week. The hitch is excellent quality, really easy to put on or take back off. They were great to work with as well!

About the M7 and Cooper Crap hitches.
Love the design and ease of installation.
But can these 2 bolts really pull 2000 pounds of trailer weight?

M7 hitch is rated for 2000# (1130 kb) GVWR (trailer weight) and 200# (113 kg) vertical receiver load. Can read about it here.

We've had the MiniFini CountryLink hitch it can handle the max load and is almost invisible when not in use. Here are some pics on my base R60 , on your S it comes out in the grill area of the rear facia and with a cap on the tube also nearly invisible.
