Specs:
The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame, behind your rear bumper. No drilling or welding is required. Once the hitch is installed, only the receiver will be visible beneath your bumper. This means that your vehicle can maintain its stylish, from-the-factory look, and you won't have to do any major modifications to its body or frame.
With a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, each EcoHitch is made of a strong metal alloy that will withstand the test of time. The lightweight alloy is composed of recycled materials. Traditional steel hitch manufacturing can use coal or oil, which can contribute to harmful gas emissions. The EcoHitch's recycled materials limit the carbon footprint during manufacturing, so you get a sturdy trailer hitch while also helping the environment.
This EcoHitch trailer hitch is tested for durability and sturdiness. Using Finite Elemental Analysis (FEA), individual points of stress on the hitch can be detected and remedied. Designers can accurately test the hitch to ensure that it will meet or exceed SAE J684 standards. The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is carefully researched and strength tested for a durable, high-quality hitch that can resist damage while on the road.

This custom-fit trailer hitch with a hidden cross tube installs behind your vehicle's rear bumper, leaving only the receiver visible beneath it. Aluminum and steel alloy construction is durable and eco-friendly. Powder coat finish resists rust.Perfect fit. Installed alone, which made it a bit harder, but directions were perfect.
I had the ECO-Hitch installed by my Toyota dealer on my brand new 2018 Rav4. The instructions that were sent with the hitch were poorly written and the pictures were basically black with some yellow highlights in them. Impossible to see what the picture was. There was so much confusion about what needed to be done to the 2018 to get the hitch in place. Out of all the confusion and my insistence that the hitch be hidden and no damage be done to the bumper it was finally done...it was hidden and a hole had to be cut into the bumper for the receiver. Better and more specific instructions for 2018 Rav4 would have been good. It took 4 hours to finally install it . Was happy with the hitch itself and looks good now.
It was an absolute breeze installing this hitch onto our 2015 Rav4. We followed the instructions but found that removing the bumper altogether made it way simpler to install. Took about 2 hours to take everything off and on again with no cutting needed. The 2" receiver is the only part you see completely hidden and fits like it came preinstalled by the manufacturer. Very impressed with it.
The hitch was I stalled on a new Toyota Rav4.. I sprayed the it initially with ACF 50 which is an aircraft non rust protectant used in the aerospace industry. It is available on [online retailer]... I just sprayed it a second time a year later... Be aware if you use this it can eventually disappear if you use the cR wash soaps... I use ACF50 on my 4 wheeler for parts that could rust...

After a year the ecohitch is just fine. I bought it as the metal appears to be more rust resistant... I spray some acf 50 on it a couple tines a year and mi imal stai ing appears on the metal.. In Wisconsin salt us an issue from roads on just about anything. As a tip, ACF 59 was developed for aircraft corrosion control. It works great on battery terminals in cars ro keep down any corrosion...Just clean up the terminals, spray on some acf50, take a soft brush on the area a few days later and spray some more on and leave it... acf 50 does NOT affect electrical conductance or short anything.
Just installed the Ecohitch on my 2018 Rav4 Hybrid. The hitch is well made and fit my Rav4 just fine, nice and hidden. I was able to install this without jacking car up, I was able to reach everything just laying on my back. Lifting the hitch in place by myself was a bit of a puzzle, but if you get one of the forward bolts in the exhaust side, you can then lift the other side into place.
Just a few notes, the instructions are for earlier years and the pics of the cover panels do not match. The hole you have to cut in instructions was 3/4" by 3 3/4". This was too small for my 2018. I had to cut a 1 1/8" by 3 3/4". It was still a little tight, 1.5" by 3 3/4" would have been better.
The pass side end cover is not even close to the earlier models. I had to cut, test fit and try again and again. I had to fully cut one attachment point as well as a good sized piece from the side. The panel was too loose with the missing attachment, so I had to loop a long tie wrap around the hitch to firm up the cover.
But everything did fit eventually. Looks very nice!
I wish I remembered to order the rubber hitch cover when I ordered.
Product arrived in-tacked. Heavy piece of equipment. Need 2 people for installation. Instructions were ok, but photos did not match my 2016 Rav4 rear underside panels. The small square of Velcro for reattaching the remote key less entry receiver was disappointing. Took a long time to install and I still have to hook up the wire harness. I like the low profile and that it is mostly hidden. All in all, I probably just should have taken it somewhere to be installed where they have all the tools and can easily work under a vehicle.
The order I placed had a long lead time but the etrailer team was very proactive in communicating the date, options that could ship more quickly and a final follow up when the product shipped and arrived. Truly one of the best online shopping experiences I've had.
Hitch was great. Could have used a video from etrailer on how to install but found enough online to get it done.
Fast delivery and easy to follow instru ctions.
The eco hitch is very well built product. It took about 2hrs. to put on.
Haven't pulled anything yet but installment was pretty simple and directions were clear. Seems heavy duty and that it will last. Very happy
