Keep it. Too much PITA to have to attached aftermarket and only factory hitch has towing capacity of 7200lbs. And I don't really use kick to open feature anyways.
From what they say here the Stealth Hitch has a 7800lb capacity.

https://stealthhitches.com/products/...5-2019-present

"The vehicle capacities with the BMW X5 tow hitch are:

7,800 pounds - gross trailer weight (GTW)
600 pounds - tongue weight (TW)

Stealth Hitches are designed to exceed vehicle capacities by a minimum of 50%. We list the vehicle capacities, not hitch capacities, to give our customers more meaningful data. Please confirm capacities with the vehicle owner's manual."
