Fs:MINI Cooper Trailer Receiver Hitch

I have a MINI Cooper Trailer Receiver Hitch that was purchased from http://www.miniaturetrailer.com/

My friend bought this to use and has come on hard times. So I am selling this for them. Please help me help them pay some bills. This product is top notch quality.

This auction is for the following 3 pieces and their install hardware:

1. Trailer Receiver Hitch
2. Tow Wiring Harness
3. Draw Bar in Trunk Bag

This is a NEW complete kit and never been installed. Will work on MINI Coopers from 2002-2006. S models also. Unit will be sold as is. Buyer to pay for shipping via UPS Ground.

Mini Cooper and S Trailer Receiver Hitch


Use your hidden trailer receiver hitch to tow, haul cargo, bikes. Even works on the Cooper S!

* Mounts concealed behind rear bumper
* Uses backup light (02-04)/ rear fog light (05-06)/ black bumper insert (05-06) opening
* Retains functionality of backup light/ rear fog light
* 1 1/4" class I receiver
* Powder coated black to resist rust
* 100 lb maximum tongue weight
* 1000 lb maximum towing capacity
* Packaged complete with installation instructions
* Installs with ordinary hand tools

Mini Cooper Tow Wiring Harness


* Standard 4 plug connector
* Active tail converter that functions without applying additional loads to the Mini’s wiring or computer
* Takes power from a direct feed from the batter with 20 amp fuse
* Takes 3 brake and stop signals (left turn, right turn, stop) and converts to two light signal on trailer lights (left turn and stop, right turn and stop)
* Includes all required wiring, connectors, and detailed installation instructions

Draw Bar in OEM Mini Cooper Trunk Bag


* 1 1/4” Class I drawbar with 2” drop
* Includes 1 7/8” ball
* Tow chain hooks included
* 1/2" pin and clip included
* All stored in an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Mini Cooper trunk mounted tool bag
* Draw bar bag uses clips and mounts in boot of car when not in use

Installation instructions can be found here.

All trailer receiver hitches have a maximum 100 lb tongue weight rating and a maximum 1000 lb gross weight rating and meet SAE J684 and V-5 standards when combined with a drawbar kit. NEVER exceed recommended loading ratings for Trailer Receiver Hitch or Miniature Trailer.

Item is $480 new. Have it now for $450 OBO.

No problem I just want to see it in person to see if it's something
I want to stock or not..
I have installed two other styles of hitches already..
If this doesn't get any play let me know..I would make an offer on
the hitch, I stock all the rest of what you have in this package, so
I wouldn't be interested in the rest.

I can't spend that much... but I would like it, seems like I could use it to haul cargo in a cargo box of some sort that fits into a hitch, or maybe some innovative snowboard rack...

Just a bit of advice, we bought a hitch from miniature trailers for our '05 mc, we upgraded to a '06MCS, and the hitch was not compatible, the exhaust is different from a MC to a MCS, even though it says it will fit the S also, it doesn't. Brent at miniature trailers was nice enough to rush us a new hitch and receiver, we received it the day before we left for MOTD . The mini hauled the trailer (we took a sportbike) great , we were impressed.

Didn't realize they had a different model for the "S" .
So which one is the one you are selling here.
There is a thread here saying the hitch could not be
transferred from a 05' cooper to an 06' "S"

This was purchased as their site says to fit both Coopers and Cooper S.
