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 up to aerospace-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and steel. 

American-Made with a REAL Warranty

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

EcoHitch - Hidden:
All EcoHitch models are precision manufactured to have hidden crosstubes when installed. The only part of the hitch that is ever visible is the receiver and has a higher level of ground clearance than most hitches available.

 ***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 Toyota Highlander does this EcoHitch fit?
This EcoHitch fits 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander models, including hybrid models, providing a vehicle-specific trailer hitch option developed for those model years with consistent rear fitment and intended receiver placement. This year-range coverage supports Highlander owners who want towing and hitch accessory capability without uncertainty about compatibility across gas and hybrid trims. Fitment for the 2014-2019 Highlander range is confirmed during development so the hitch installs as intended when installed per instructions.

What is the towing capacity of this hitch?
The EcoHitch towing capacity is rated for 5,000 pounds towing weight and 750 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.

Does this hitch require drilling for installation?
No, this hitch does not require drilling for installation because the EcoHitch features 100% bolt-on installation with no drilling required. This no-drill approach supports customers who want a secure receiver hitch installation while still using the intended attachment points. Mounting alignment and rear-end packaging are confirmed during development so the hitch installs as designed when installed per instructions.

What receiver size does this hitch have?
This EcoHitch receiver size is a 2-inch receiver, making it compatible with all your existing hitch accessories without needing adapters. A true 2-inch receiver supports direct use of common towing equipment, bike racks, and cargo carriers, which is why many Highlander owners prioritize a standard 2-inch receiver interface. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.

Is this hitch compatible with E-bikes?
Yes, this hitch is compatible with E-bikes because this EcoHitch is E-bike rated and engineered to handle the extra weight of E-bikes without requiring additional straps. This rating supports heavier bike rack loads at the trailer ball and matches common Highlander use for modern E-Bike transport on hitch-mounted racks. Use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to verify allowable load and ensure you are within safe limits.

Will this hitch work with my Highlander's auto-latching hatch?
Yes, this hitch will work with your Highlander's auto-latching hatch because the EcoHitch does not interfere with auto-latching and unlatching hatches on vehicles that include this feature. Preserving normal hatch operation is a common expectation when adding a concealed trailer hitch, and this integration supports day-to-day convenience while adding towing and hitch accessory capability. Hitch packaging is developed to maintain the stated hatch function when installed per instructions.

What warranty comes with the EcoHitch?
The EcoHitch 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 Highlander owners warranty-backed confidence for towing and accessory use over the long term.

How is this different from a "diaper hitch"?
This EcoHitch is different from a "diaper hitch" 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 receiver angle addresses real driving conditions like steep driveways and ramps where low-hanging hitches and accessories can contact the ground, helping maintain clearance while keeping accessories level as described. The concealed cross tube keeps the hitch structure tucked up and out of sight while maintaining receiver access.

Can I install this at home, or do I need a certified mechanic?
You can install the EcoHitch for the 2014 - 2019 Toyota Highlander 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.

2015 Highlander Limited AWD. Hitch and included hardware are very nice. Good looking design. The spare tire doesn't fit very well when hitch is installed. Had to seat it at an angle. It's not a full sized spare either. 165x90 D18.

Torklift: Hi Gary, this hitch was designed to fit with the full size factory spare tire. We haven't seen this issue. Would you be able to give our tech support team a phone call at 800-246-8132 so that we can troubleshoot this with you?

Truly a hidden hitch (2014 Toyota Highlander)
Review by
Specifically for my 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, this hitch is truly concealed, not to mention solid-built.

I'm really happy with this EcoHitch for my vehicle with such a clean look, unlike Curt's "concealed" hitch for this vehicle only has a concealed main body with a receiver that sticks out of the bumper line by a few inches (aka. shin banger).

An awesome hidden hitch for this vehicle!
2014 Highlander XLE
Review by
Great hitch. Best hidden hitch out there and much cheaper than Toyota hitch. Install video and instructions are good. I have car ramps so that made installation easy.
2016 Highlander Install
Review by
Just installed on my 2016 Highlander XLE. Very straightforward and uncomplicated. Instructions were clear, definitely watch the video for additional context. I trimmed much less plastic then the instructions indicated I would need too. Perhaps the plastic parts are shaped a bit differently on my model, regardless - it was easy. I just marked the areas to trim and used a hacksaw for clean and easy cutting. Also, I drilled four holes in the plastic exhaust shield that you need to trim and reattached it to the bottom of hitch bar with some zip-ties after installation. This way the function of the exhaust shield remains and it's all tidy and neat. Great product. Enjoy!
Perfect Hidden Hitch
Review by
We recently installed the 2014-2016 Toyota Highlander EcoHitch on our '14 Highlander and are so pleased. We really wanted a hitch that was seamless to the vehicle, with nothing showing below the bumper. This is it! The directions for installation were very clear. We did have to trim some paneling as mentioned by others, but it was easy and went back together perfectly. This is an affordable solution and a great way to save some money if you can self-install.
Installation
Review by
Just installed on my 2015 Highlander and fits perfectly. I just followed the installation instructions without any problem. Just need a friend to hoist the hitch up to help me start securing initial bolt to hold the hitch up and finished the rest myself. Did not even have to hoist the vehicle since it has plenty of room under. Saves a lot by doing it myself. Thanks for this product.
Nice Product
Review by
Just installed on my 14 Highlander. It took a couple of hours (I took my time and had to locate a couple of tools). Fits perfect. I ordered this and installed myself after looking at all the ugly designs that hang below the bumper cover. All you see is the receiver - everything else is tucked behind the bumper! The plastic trim panels under the vehicle need to be trimmed a little before reinstalling - I used a utility knife and fitted them up a couple of times to remove the minimum.
