Speaker: Today we're going to review Part No. BWHDRH25401. This is the BMW Heavy Duty 2 Inch Class 5 Trailer Hitch Receiver. This is a custom fit design. It is designed to fit the Ford F-250 and F-350 Trucks with the factory bumper starting in 2011. I would recommend to go to the product page for this part number at the bottom of the page it would list the year and model vehicle with this hitch would fit on. This is a custom fit trailer hitch which will let you tow a trailer with your vehicle. It is a built on installation, there is no welding required.
For this demonstration we've bolted the end wings on to the cross numbers so it's basically an interlocking three-piece design. It does use Grade 8 mounting hardware and the installation instructions are included. Has a high gloss black powder coat finish to help resist corrosion. As you can see right here the safety chain loops they're built-in to this heavy duty steel gusset right around the hitch receiver opening. It is a sturdy steel construction. It does come also with this electrical bracket.
This electrical bracket you can take your factory 7-way that's on your vehicle and attach it to this. Then this bracket there's a bracket right here with two holes in it and then the two holes here. You just line it up and screw it in and that will bring your 7-way electrical connector right out by your hitch opening. If you are going to tow with this, it does require a ball mount and a pin and clip, we do sell those separately. They do not come with this hitch. The parts are usually listed on this product page as a related product.
This part is made in the USA. It has a receiver opening of 2inch by 2 inch. It is a Class 5 Rating. This has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 16,000 lbs. when used for regular towing or even used with weight distribution.
It has a maximum total weight capacity of 1600 lbs. with regular towing or with weight distribution. It does come with a lifetime limited warranty. That should do it for the review on Part No. BWHDRH25401. The BMW Heavy Duty 2 Inch Class 5 Trailer Hitch Receiver. .

After having this hitch on for a year I can say it has done great I have had no issues with it and it pulls like a dream I always expect the best when I by b&w and that's what I get I also have the the b&w gooseneck hitch in the same truck and it pulls like a dream as well easy installation and I will be soon buying the gooseneck hitch for my 2 other trucks and possibly another under bumper hitch for my 96 Cummins I would recommend this to anyone that wants good communication and fast easy shipping they have been a great company for me and will continue to buy from them
Perfect replacement for the OEM 6000 lb weight carrying hitch on my 2016 F250SD Super Crew. The trailer connector bracket was a perfect fit for the OE 7 way RV and 4 flat combination receptacle. It even had holes and slots for most wiring holders. The only thing it didn’t have was pre-drilled holes for the trailer sway control counterweight on the drivers side, at least I believe that’s what it is. Highly recommended otherwise, as BW was the only brand I found with the trailer receptacle bracket for the OE connector. I’ll feel safer now hauling my 7000 lb trailer and tractor. It took a couple of hours to finish, only due to the OE hitch had blue Loctite the entire length of all 8 frame bolts… breaker bar time!
Made in the USA. The attaching hardware is questionable at best. Replaced an existing hitch on an F-350. Original hitch was held on by 3/4" diameter fasteners with all metal locking nuts. Hardware included with new hitch was 3/8" diameter with plain nuts and locking washers. With the hardware were hokey square washers intended to make up for the hardware being half the diameter as original. Locking washers of course split when torquing fasteners. Not happy about B&W trying to save a buck on cheaper hardware. Ended up reusing the factory hardware as it fit the new hitch and the truck frame perfectly. Don't plan on rushing through this install. Hitch itself appears to be very nice quality and fit was excellent. Was able to retain the original spare tire position as well. Trailer plug mounting bracket comes with self tapping screws of questionable quality. Used 3/16" fasteners with locking nuts instead. If B&W would of spent an extra $[XX] on appropriate hardware it would be a 5 star review.
I replaced the OEM hitch solely to afford a greater "margin for error" due to a higher capacity rating. Good instructions and easyinstall.
After a year I have absolutely zero complaints. Installation was simple and I highly recommend it.
this is the way to go one phone call very fast exact fit fast shipping thanks ed. from etrailer
Very easy to install. Instructions were simple and to the point. Very pleased with appearance of the receiver. Look forward to testing out the hitch with the camper!
Great price, easy installation, hardest part was removing the old hitch
Extremely easy to install and after one year no issues!
Great product. I choose this brand as the bolt together design allowed me to install alone, safely, with minimal effort.
Hardest part was getting old one ofd
Great product

Great! No issues at all. The counterweight I previously mentioned was actually a harmonic dampener device that was installed as part of a Ford TSB, but made no difference at all when removed.
