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.

We are getting some vibration from the exhaust system. We've used a section of pool noodle as a buffer, and replace it periodically. We took the bikes 1000 miles to Georgia without incident over winter

I installed this a year ago and it's been great
Review by
I mostly use it for a bike rack and it's done fine with 75 lb of bike. It didn't fit correctly when I got it (manufacturing defect), but support was great and got me some spacers that made it fit.
Installed on my Prius C
Review by
I had a Torklift EcoHitch installed on my Prius C so that I could mount a bike rack on the back whenever I wanted to go riding somewhere. The hitch and the rack are both great, and it's so much easier to deal with the bikes than having to wrestle them into or out of the hatch. Highly recommended.
EcoHitch and bike rack

I installed Torklift EcoHitch with Thule platform bike rack, it work great so far & not effect gas mileage on my Prius C.
