American-Made with a REAL Warranty
Proudly Made in America, our Crosstrek hitch is backed by our Legendary Lifetime Warranty. Our knowledgeable team is ready to assist you with installation and support.

***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.

What is the towing capacity of the EcoHitch for the 2013-2017 Subaru XV Crosstrek?
The EcoHitch towing capacity for the 2013-2017 Subaru XV Crosstrek is rated for 3,500 pounds towing capacity with a tongue weight of 525 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 the EcoHitch require drilling for installation?
No, the EcoHitch does not require drilling for installation because it features 100% bolt-on installation with no drilling required and meets national SAE J684 towing safety standards. This no-drill approach supports Crosstrek owners who want a secure trailer hitch install without permanent modifications while meeting the stated towing safety standard for this application. Application development confirms the hitch uses the intended mounting locations so it installs as designed when installed per instructions.
Will the EcoHitch be visible when not in use?
No, the Invisi EcoHitch is not visible when not in use because it is completely concealed behind the factory knockout panel or license plate, with only the receiver visible during towing. This concealment strategy addresses owner preference for a hidden hitch that preserves the rear styling during daily driving while keeping the receiver accessible when towing. Fitment and packaging are confirmed for the 2013-2017 XV Crosstrek so the hitch remains concealed as described when installed per instructions.
Can I use the EcoHitch for both towing and bike racks?
Yes, you can use the EcoHitch for both towing and bike racks because it is a versatile combo solution that allows you to tow or use a bike rack without needing any additional accessories or separate adapters. This adapter-free setup supports quick switching between towing and hitch-mounted accessories while keeping your configuration simple and compatible with common receiver accessories.
Is the EcoHitch rated for E-Bikes?
Yes, the EcoHitch is rated for E-Bikes because it is engineered to handle the extra weight of E-Bikes and features one of the highest tongue weight capacities available without requiring additional straps. This rating supports heavier bike rack loads and aligns with common Crosstrek use for hitch-mounted bike racks and modern E-Bike transport. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
What receiver size does this EcoHitch have?
This EcoHitch receiver size is a 2" receiver that delivers unparalleled stability and lets you use all your existing hitch accessories without extra adapters. A true 2-inch receiver is widely used for bike racks, cargo carriers, and towing equipment, which is why many Crosstrek owners prioritize a 2-inch receiver for direct accessory compatibility. The 2" receiver supports using existing hitch accessories without the added complexity of adapter hardware that cause excess rattling.
What makes the EcoHitch different from "diaper hitches"?
The EcoHitch is different from "diaper hitches" because unlike bulky diaper hitches that hang low and scrape, it features a 100% concealed cross tube with an upward-angled receiver for superior ground clearance. This geometry is aimed at common driving situations like steep driveways and ramps where low-hanging hitches are more likely to contact the ground, while the upward-angled receiver helps keep accessories level. The concealed cross tube supports a cleaner rear appearance while improving clearance compared to low-hanging designs.
What is the EcoHitch made from?
The EcoHitch is made from a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and steel, with 100% recycled and recyclable materials and a high-impact powder coat finish. The high-impact powder coat finish is included to support long-term use in real driving conditions.
Does the EcoHitch come with a warranty?
Yes, the EcoHitch comes with Torklift 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. Torklift Legendary Lifetime Warranty coverage is included with the EcoHitch as stated, supporting Crosstrek owners who want durable towing and accessory capability with warranty backing.
Can I install this at home, or do I need a certified mechanic?
You can install the EcoHitch for the 2013 - 2017 Subaru XV Crosstrek 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.
