- Completely Concealed Stealth Design: Only the receiver is visible, maintaining your WRX sleek appearance. When the hitch is not in use, the stainless steel receiver is removable to return your vehicle to the factory appearance.
- Advanced Security Features: Safeguard your receiver and accessories with an integrated anti-theft security bolt for added peace of mind.
- Patent Pending Stainless Steel Receiver: The world’s only REAL stainless steel trailer hitch receiver—built to stay rust free for life.

Our stainless steel design stops corrosion before it starts, so your vehicle stays sharp, your gear never fuses in place, and your garage floors or driveways stay pristine. Learn more here.

***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 years of Subaru WRX does this EcoHitch fit?
This EcoHitch fits 2022-2026 Subaru WRX models including Premium, Limited, GT, TR, and tS trims, providing a vehicle-specific trailer hitch solution engineered around the WRX rear structure and trim coverage listed. This application is driven by WRX owner demand for a clean hitch integration that supports towing and hitch accessories without guesswork across the trim lineup. Fitment details such as mounting alignment and rear-bumper clearances are confirmed during development so the hitch installs as intended when installed per instructions.
What is the towing capacity of the EcoHitch for the Subaru WRX?
The EcoHitch towing capacity for the 2022-2026 Subaru WRX is rated for 3,500 pounds towing weight 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.
What makes the stainless steel receiver different from standard hitches?
The patent-pending stainless steel receiver is different from standard hitches because it will never rust, preventing orange stains on your bumper, garage floor, and driveway that traditional hitches cause. This receiver material choice addresses common customer complaints about corrosion at the receiver opening and rust transfer onto nearby surfaces, especially in wet climates and winter road conditions. Keeping the receiver rust-free also supports long-term accessory usability by reducing the chance of corrosion-related binding over time.
Does this hitch require drilling for installation?
No, this EcoHitch for the 2022-2026 Subaru WRX does not require drilling because it features 100% bolt-on installation with no drilling required. This installation approach is designed for owners who want a straightforward trailer hitch install that avoids permanent modifications while still using the intended attachment points on the vehicle. Mounting alignment and clearances are confirmed during application development so the hitch installs cleanly when installed per instructions.
Will this hitch affect my WRX's ground clearance?
No, this EcoHitch will not negatively affect your WRX's ground clearance because it is designed with superior ground clearance and features an upward-angled receiver to keep accessories level and avoid scraping. The upward receiver angle addresses real-world driving situations like ramps and steep driveways where low-hanging hitches are more likely to contact the ground, helping keep racks and accessories properly oriented. Receiver is removable when not in use.
Can this hitch support E-Bikes and cargo carriers?
Yes, this EcoHitch can support E-Bikes and cargo carriers because with a 525-pound tongue weight rating it is E-Bike rated and can support bike racks, cargo trays, and other hauling accessories within the specified limits. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.
Is the hitch visible when not in use?
The EcoHitch is invisible when not in use because it features a completely concealed stealth design and the stainless steel receiver is removable to restore the factory appearance. This stealth layout is driven by owner preference for a hidden hitch that preserves the WRX rear styling during daily driving while keeping towing and accessory capability ready when needed. Fitment is confirmed during development so the concealed structure remains out of sight as intended when installed per instructions.
What warranty does the EcoHitch come with?
The EcoHitch comes with a Legendary Lifetime Warranty and is proudly made in the U.S.A., providing long-term coverage that supports the hitch as designed and manufactured.
Can I install this at home, or do I need a certified mechanic?
You can install the EcoHitch for the 2022-2026 Subaru WRX 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
So, EcoHitch has arrived and was surprised how easy the install was. One person can do this as out of the six bolts on the OEM crash bar (that's pretty flimsy), there's one screw stud that sticks out on each side, so you're able to screw the bolt in place before torquing everything down to 40 ft/lb. Other than the bolts, you cut part of the bumper on the bottom to allow the bumper to go back to its position.
The only drawback and I had a hunch would happen is losing the F1 tail light which is not a big deal. On the plus side, the EcoHitch sits higher and flush with the bumper that it's at least 1"~1.5" higher off the ground. I'll have to get a new receiver (cheap) as my trailer is not level with the ground currently. No more scraping and you can barely tell it's there.
I mainly purchased it for using my 5'x8' utility trailer to do dump runs and get sheet goods for woodworking.
Overall craftsmanship is excellent. The square tubing is beefy and I love that the whole body is tucked behind the bumper and the receiver piece is stainless, so there's really no worries of it rusting anytime soon!
