Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 BMW X5 we're gonna be taking a look at, and showing you how to install, the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number: 13077. As you can see, this is what our hitch looks like when it's installed. The cross tube is hidden behind the bumper. The only thing you can see is the receiver tube. It's gonna be a 2" x 2" Class III. It's gonna work with a lot of accessories, and it's gonna have a 5/8" hitch pin hole. It has a nice loop style design to give you plenty of room for your safety chains. As you can see, it doesn't stick out past the bumper, so it gives it a nice clean look, and you don't have to worry about hitting your shins or your legs on it. This hitch does have a 600 pound max tongue weight, and a 6,000 pound max trailer weight. It does support weight distribution, however, the numbers are gonna stay the same. I do recommend you check your owner's manual to make sure your vehicle can withstand that amount of weight. I would like to note that Curt does require stabilization straps for any non-wheeled loads. You can find those here at etrailer.com.Now we will give you a couple measurements to help you when deciding on any hitch-mounted accessories you may need, such as a bike rack, ball mounts, or cargo carriers. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost part of the bumper will be about 3". From the ground to the top of the innermost part of the receiver tube will be about 14".First thing we need to do to start our installation is, there's a bolt underneath this side panel here, that holds the bumper on. First thing we need to do is take out these plastic rivets to access the bolt that's behind this panel. So, what we have to do to remove these because they're plastic rivets, is we gotta drill. Then you're gonna repeat that same process on the other side. Next thing we need to do is, we're gonna have to remove this reflector. There's a metal clip right above the tailpipe here on the inside of the bumper. Just take note, when you take the reflector out and you push this tab in, if it doesn't release here, if you just push up on that, this reflector will pop out. Next thing we want to do is we want to remove these three bolts here, and we're gonna do the same thing on the other side. We're gonna use a 5/16" socket.So now what we want to do is, we're gonna pull out on this panel to access our bolt that's holding our bumper on, which is underneath here. Now what we're gonna do is, we're gonna remove our bumper bolt. You'll notice there's another one down here. You won't need to remove that because that's just holding this onto the bumper. And then we gotta remove this one, which was under our reflector, and we're gonna do the same thing on the other side. Next thing we want to do is, we want to get inside our hatch. You're gonna remove this panel on the driver's side. Right behind this pad we're gonna take this wiring harness off, that goes to the tail light, and we're gonna take these two nuts off, and we're gonna pop this tail light out. So what you want to do to remove this wiring is just, you want to push down on that spot there.So now we'll go ahead and remove these. Now we can remove our tail light. And the reason we remove our tail light is to access this bolt right here. So, before we remove this, we're gonna repeat the same process on the passenger side. So, now what we want to do, is we want to support this tailgate here so we can access these clips that are inside. So what we're gonna do is, we're gonna take a strap, and we're just gonna hook it up there so it hold it up. Next we want to remove this bolt on both sides. Before we remove our bumper, what I like to do is just run a piece of tape electrical tape is fine just run it along this edge right here. What it does is it keeps these from pushing up against there when you're trying to pull the bumper off. So, next what you want to do is, you're just gonna push down on that just to pop that loose.Now what we want to do is get an extra set of hands. To remove the bumper we're gonna start up on the front, and we're gonna work our way to the middle. Now we want to remove this wiring harness that runs to your backup sensors. What you want to do is, you want to push down on the top tab and up on the bottom tab. You want to make sure you set your bumper somewhere safe so it doesn't get scratched up. Now what we want to do now that we have our bumper off is, we want to take this wire, just p
