***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.
*Depending on the application, the product can include a combination of up to three qualified materials

Mounting alignment is confirmed during development so the hitch installs as designed when installed per instructions.
Does the EcoHitch maintain the hands-free kick sensor functionality?
Yes, the EcoHitch maintains hands-free kick sensor functionality because it is the only hitch for the Ford C-Max that maintains full hands-free kick sensor functionality, so you never lose this convenience feature. Retaining hands-free access is a key owner requirement when adding a concealed trailer hitch, and this application is developed to preserve the stated kick sensor operation when installed as directed. This allows you to add towing and accessory capability while keeping the convenience feature you use every day.
Is the EcoHitch visible when installed?
No, the EcoHitch is not fully visible when installed because it features a completely concealed hidden design where only the receiver is visible, maintaining your C-Max's sleek appearance.

Receiver placement and bumper-area packaging are confirmed during development so the cross tube stays out of sight as described when installed per instructions.

Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
Do I need adapters to use my existing hitch accessories?
No, you do not need adapters to use your existing hitch accessories because the EcoHitch is engineered for seamless compatibility with all your existing hitch accessories without needing extra adapters that cause rattling or instability. This direct-fit receiver interface supports a simpler accessory connection and avoids extra components that can introduce movement at the hitch point. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
