EcoHitch® Trailer Hitch Strength
Coated in high-impact powder coat with a Chasm Black finish, our hitches are meticulously sandblasted for maximum durability. Made from a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and steel.
American-Made with a REAL Warranty
Proudly Made in America, our Impreza WRX hitch is backed by our Legendary Lifetime Warranty. Our knowledgeable team is ready to assist you with installation and support.
The Stealth EcoHitch is 100% completely hidden when not in use. The crosstube is hidden behind the bumper and comes with a removable receiver. When not towing or hauling, the receiver can be detached to hide the hitch making it completely undetectable.
*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

What Subaru models is this EcoHitch compatible with?
This EcoHitch is compatible with 2008-2014 Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI hatchback models with dual quad-tipped exhaust only, and no single exhaust fitment is available. This exhaust-specific fitment supports correct rear clearance and alignment for the WRX and WRX STI hatchback configuration listed, helping ensure the hitch integrates as intended for the dual quad-tipped exhaust layout. Fitment for this application is validated during development so the hitch installs as intended when installed per instructions.
What are the weight ratings for this trailer hitch?
The EcoHitch trailer hitch is rated for a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds and a tongue weight rating of 300 pounds at the trailer ball. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
Does installation require drilling?
No, installation does not require drilling or cutting because the EcoHitch features 100% bolt-on installation with no drilling required and meets national SAE J684 towing safety standards. This no-drill approach supports a secure receiver hitch installation that uses the intended mounting points while meeting the stated towing safety standard for this application. Fitment and mounting alignment are validated during development so the hitch installs as intended when installed per instructions.
Will the hitch be visible on my WRX?
The hitch will be minimally visible on your WRX because the Stealth design features a completely concealed crosstube hidden behind the bumper with only the removable 2-inch receiver visible when in use, and when not towing or hauling, the receiver can be removed to make the hitch completely undetectable. This removable receiver approach supports WRX owners who want towing and rack capability when needed, then a clean rear appearance when the receiver is removed. Rear-end packaging is validated during development so concealment and receiver access match the described Stealth configuration when installed per instructions.
Can I use this hitch for bike racks and cargo carriers?
Yes, you can use this hitch for bike racks and cargo carriers because the versatile 2-inch receiver allows you to use bike racks, cargo trays, or tow trailers without needing additional adapters. A true 2-inch receiver supports direct compatibility with common hitch accessories and avoids extra adapter hardware that can introduce movement at the connection point. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
What materials is the EcoHitch made from?
The EcoHitch is made from a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and steel with a high-impact powder coat finish in Chasm Black. This multi-material construction supports strength and durability expectations for a concealed trailer hitch while the powder coat finish provides the specified exterior protection and appearance. Material selection for this hitch aligns with the stated manufacturing approach for long-term on-vehicle use.
Does the hitch come with a warranty?
Yes, the hitch comes with Torklift's Legendary Lifetime Warranty and is proudly made in the USA, providing long-term coverage and support aligned with the hitch’s design and manufacturing controls. Legendary Lifetime Warranty coverage is included with the EcoHitch as stated, giving WRX and WRX STI owners warranty-backed confidence for towing and hitch accessory use over the long term.
Will the hitch affect my ground clearance?
The hitch affects ground clearance in a positive way because it is angled upward to provide superior ground clearance and keep your rack and bikes level while avoiding scraping damage. This upward receiver angle addresses real driving conditions like steep driveways and ramps where low-hanging accessories can contact the ground, helping keep racks level as described. Receiver placement and geometry are developed for the WRX and WRX STI hatchback application so the hitch maintains the stated clearance behavior when installed per instructions.
Can I install this at home, or do I need a certified mechanic?
You can install the EcoHitch for the 2008 - 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX STI at home because it is a bolt-on installation using standard hand tools, though professional installation support is available if you prefer that option. If you prefer for installation to be done by a professional installer, we have a large network of certified installers across the country. Visit our Certified Dealer Locator here.
Customer Reviews
My only desire would be for the hitch to be about an inch or 2 higher. Every now and then I will scrape bottom backing down a steep driveway even without having carrying anything. Or over a speed bump while carrying my bike rack
Install was pretty straightforward, the hardest part is removal of the bumper beam and any existing hardware. Some plastic on this cars bumper will need to be trimmed for the drop post to clear.
For this car specifically, be prepared for issues with exhaust clearance. My car has an aftermarket exhaust (Invidia q300) and I had to try a few different exhaust hangers to get an acceptable fit. There are many different hangers available so you may need to try a few. I had success with the two-position grimmspeed ones and it's still pretty tight
