***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 EcoHitch for the 2018-2023 Subaru Crosstrek?
The EcoHitch for the 2018-2023 Subaru Crosstrek is a fully concealed trailer hitch designed specifically for 2018-2023 Subaru Crosstrek models, including 2021-2023 Crosstrek Hybrid, with 100% bolt-on installation, no drilling required, and a removable 2" receiver. This configuration addresses Crosstrek owner demand for a hidden hitch that preserves the rear appearance during daily driving while keeping a standard 2-inch receiver available for towing and hitch accessories. Fitment and rear-end packaging are confirmed during development so the hitch installs as intended when installed per instructions.
What is the weight capacity of the Crosstrek EcoHitch?
The Crosstrek EcoHitch weight capacity is rated for 3,500 pounds towing capacity and 525 pounds tongue weight at the trailer ball. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
Will the EcoHitch be visible on my Crosstrek?
The EcoHitch is minimally visible on your Crosstrek because it features a completely concealed stealth design where only the receiver is visible, and the receiver can be removed when not in use to make the hitch completely undetectable. This removable receiver design supports owners who want towing and rack capability when needed, then a cleaner factory-like look when the receiver is removed. The concealed structure keeps the hitch presence minimal while maintaining receiver access for towing and accessories.
Can the EcoHitch handle E-Bikes?
Yes, the EcoHitch can handle E-Bikes because it is E-Bike rated with a 525 pounds tongue weight capacity, designed to handle the extra weight of E-Bikes without requiring additional straps. This rating supports heavier bike rack loads and matches common Crosstrek use for modern E-Bike transport on hitch-mounted bike racks. 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 because the EcoHitch offers 100% bolt-on installation with no drilling required and it meets national SAE J684 towing safety standards. Application development confirms the hitch uses the intended mounting points so it installs as designed when installed per instructions.
What makes the EcoHitch different from other hitches?
The EcoHitch is different from other 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 and a streamlined design that keeps accessories level. This geometry targets real driving conditions like steep driveways and uneven approaches where low-hanging hitches can contact the ground, helping keep racks level as described. The concealed cross tube keeps the hitch structure tucked up and out of sight while maintaining receiver access.
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 rack and tow hitch that allows you to tow or use a bike rack without needing additional adapters. This adapter-free setup supports quick switching between towing and hitch-mounted accessories while keeping accessory compatibility straightforward. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
What warranty does the EcoHitch come with?
The EcoHitch comes with a 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 Crosstrek owners warranty-backed confidence for towing and accessory use over the long term.
Can I install this at home, or do I need a certified mechanic?
You can install the EcoHitch for the 2018 - 2023 Subaru Crosstrek at home because it is a bolt-on installation that does not require the bumper to be removed and only standard hand tools are needed, 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
The only tricky part was doing it by myself and needing a way to hold the hitch up to the bolts. I ended up stacking 4x4 blocks and then a 2x4 across them to hold the hitch up enough to get it close to the bolts. I ended up initially attaching with just the nuts, to get the hitch in place and then backing them out one by one to add the washers. Reattaching the exhaust was easy. There is good clearance all the way around at it is easy to add and remove the receiver drop. Works great.
