*WARNING* Your vehicle may have a lower tow rating than this trailer hitch. If your vehicle’s tow rating is less than the rated towing capacity on your Torklift Central trailer hitch, your trailer hitch capacity is limited to your vehicle’s factory rated towing capacity.
***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 (X7399)

Customer Reviews
As noted in the Q&A, some trimming of the fascia is required to allow the receiver to fit snugly under the bumper. Small price to pay for minimizing loss of ground clearance! And it is below the car so not really visible from the rear. There was no template for the cut included in our directions, but it was easy to make my own from the dimensions indicated. Once we aligned our paper template, we then outlined it in blue tape and used that as a more secure guide for cutting the fascia with a demel side cutter wheel.
Note that the holes for two of the push pin clips that hold the bumper fascia in place on the bottom no longer align due to the extra thickness of the hitch and bumper combination. We secured this part of the fascia with heavy duty wire ties. A year out and the hitch is still working fine. Do note that the Honda Fit is a low clearance vehicle. The hitch itself does not add to the clearance issues on our 2019 Honda Fit as it is no lower than the bottom pan. However, you should be aware that a bike rack for example sticking out the back of the car from the hitch will scrape on even modest slope driveways. We pull into the street to park at the curb before installing our rack and mounting bicycles.
After the installation one of the Technicians took me out to the shop and went over the install and hooked up the harness to the lights up on the shop wall. Brakes, turn signals, brake and turn signals together and the emergency flashers worked flawlessly. He showed me the fuse on the battery and went over the tongue weight and tow capacity limits. Back into the office, Rob went over the awesome warranty.
This was a super clean install! Great service and price. 4 Stars is not enough for this company.
As for the Hitch itself, the 2" receiver is the way to go. No need for an adapter to bring it up for 1 1/2" receiver that most all companies offer for my Honda Fit.
