Hitch for new 4-door hardtop

[SBC]

First time mini owner. Looking for recs on best hitch for a new hardtop 4 door (for bike rack), where to buy it and best place in DMV to get it installed.  Mini’s Roof mounted bike rack doesn’t work for me.  I’m too short to reach.  Thanks

I got mine done at U-Haul (2020 F60 Countryman) I was only able to get a 1 1/4 receiver but it holds 2 bikes with no issues. The Tech that did mine in Hagerstown said that they are often contracted by the dealerships to add them for clients because most dealerships won't do them.

Thanks. Where did you get the hitch and what brand is it?
 

The one I found so far is also 1 1-4 inch also. I think my existing rack is 2 inch.

I purchased from U-Haul
