***IMPORTANT NOTICE:
While EcoHitch®️ trailer hitches are built with high-strength materials and tested for exceptional weight ratings, your vehicle’s factory towing capacities are the ultimate limit. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine its maximum towing and tongue weight ratings. No aftermarket hitch or accessory can increase your vehicle’s factory-rated towing capacities.
Using hauling accessories like extensions, cargo trays, bike racks, or other accessories that extend the load out from the trailer hitch, will significantly reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch system.
To estimate how your setup will affect tongue weight, we recommend using our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator before hauling your payload (cargo trays, bike racks, etc).
Disclaimer: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure safe towing practices and to confirm that all loads fall within the limits of the lowest-rated component in the towing system. Torklift is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from the misuse or overloading of towing/hauling equipment.

Customer Reviews
took it to my mechanic to have installed
Having the receiver hidden behind the bumper is the main reason I opted for this hitch. The extra ground clearance is a big plus, and the hitch is basically invisible when not in use, which looks better than having a hitch hanging below the bumper.
However, there are some practical concerns that I didn't quite anticipate. The main one is that receiver is essentially *inside* the bumper fascia, which wraps around the bottom of the hitch and makes accessing the hitch pin hole challenging. If I had it to do over again I may have opted for the 1.25" because that may make it possible to fish the hitch pin through the rear knockout, with the 2" there is not much clearance there - although you can at least reach your finger in there to help guide the pin into the hole as you reach under/behind the bumper with your other hand.
Still, I think the positives of the design outweigh the drawbacks.
