Just finished installing on an 2013 R59 JCW. Fits like a glove. instructions call for a log more than necessary but they're pretty good. - Drop center brace across rear suspension sub frame. - Unbolt and cut the muffler hangars in place, no need to fight the rubbers, basically chop everything after the turned up sides on the hangar off, the whole side that goes inside the body rail is removed. - Rotate hitch up and over drooping muffler. - Fasten it all tight. The extra steps they add almost double the time of installation lol. When towing use sport mode, keeps the engine and oil cooler due to lower Electronic Water Pump turn on temps. Also better on trans/engine as it won't lug like non-sport does.
Hey Justin, Thank you for the questions. The kit does come with the bolt fisher for the installation. There is some minor cutting of the hangers to help the EcoHitch fit, but if you’d like to see what exactly needs to be done you can contact our tech support for the instructions here: support@torkliftcentral.com. Let us know if you have any further questions!
Hi there! We use stock images on our website so they don't always reflect what the hitch for your vehicle will look like. The hitch in the video is the one that you will receive if you order the x7252.
Using stock images isn't helping your cause of selling hitches. People can't see what they're getting they can't envision where it goes or how attaches. This is definitely costing you sales.

I wished we had this in Europe:(
Hello! We do not ship directly outside of the US or Canada but we've good reports from customers who use the shipping forwarding service called BonVu.
Does this hitch come with the little bolt-puller? And the part page says the exhaust hanger needs to be modified, can you give details on that?

Why does the one you linked look completely different than this one in the product pictures?
