Hidden Cross Tube for a Clean, Factory Look

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.


Eco-Friendly Material

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.


Rigorous Strength Testing Ensures Durability

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.

Hitch arrived pretty quickly! Product looks to be of high quality. Welds look good, powder coat looks good. Very solid. Will install it this weekend. Shipping packaging wasn’t so great. Box arrived heavily damaged (not etrailer’s fault) and the hitch wasn’t really secured all that well inside the box given its weight. Luckily the hitch was not damaged.

The hitch itself seems very heavy duty, nice welds with a good finish. I only plan to use this for a bike rack, so it is far stronger than I will ever need.

The installation video is exceptional with a couple very minor differences which may be due to different trim levels between my car and the one in the video. There is a wiring harness in the bumper fascia that is clipped to the car frame above the driver-side tail pipe and those clips need to be removed to get the fascia off. Also, I did not need to modify the heat shield as was done in the video.

Overall, it took about 3 hours to do the install and I've never done anything like this before.

The reason for the deduction of 1 star is due to the washers that are provided are not compatible with high or even medium torque applications. The washers deformed as if they were made of plastic. Instead, I used the factory hardware with a bit of blue Loctite.

Hitch on my Audi Q5 is working out great



by:
2019 Audi SQ5

Finally installed this on my 2019 SQ5 today, after months of it sitting in the garage. A couple of notes, the factory bumper bar can be re-used. I needed to trim the inner upper sheet metal of the factory bar with a cutoff wheel so that it would fit properly. Also, the fasteners supplied with the the kit are junk, the washers are too think and too small of a diameter. I was able to re-use the factory hardware which has a much better washer head design and is also grade 10.9 (same as inlcluded bolts.

Also can confirm that the SQ5 bumper does not need to be trimmed, but I discovered this after trimming it a bit sadly. I did the install by myself, having a helper when re-fitting the bumper cover would have made this a lot easier and negated the need for trimming.

  • Does the etrailer Hitch Stick Out Further Than the EcoHitch on a 2020 Audi Q5
    It doesn't look like we have had a chance yet to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e94CR on a 2020 Audi Q5 yet so I don't have any specific measurements for you. That said, based on the install photos we have of this and the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7397, I can confidently say that the etrailer hitch sticks out further than the EcoHitch. The greater extension means better compatibility with folding accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers...

  • Hidden Hitch For a 2018 Toyota Highlander
    That is very strange and I am not sure how or why it would show that. The good news is we do have a EcoHitch for your 2018 Toyota Highlander. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7397 that you referenced is for a 2018-2021 Audi Q5 which mounts differently and doesn't even share the same chassis as your Highlander. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7250 will fit your Highlander. This hitch is rated for 750lbs of tongue weight and 5,000lbs or trailer weight,...

  • Comparing Curt C98JR And EcoHitch C98JR Trailer Hitches For A 2021 Audi SQ5
    Hello Andrew, great question. I will start by saying that with our videos, generally you can assume that the tires and suspension are stock when we are measuring the hitch clearance. Although, we do not have the tire size or suspension type noted anywhere specifically. In the case of the EcoHitch # 306-X7397 and the Curt # C98JR (13499) both will have the exact same 15" ground clearance on a 2021 Audi SQ5. The Curt has a slightly longer receiver, so it does have a slight edge as far as...

  • Will Hitch Installation Affect Hands-Free Liftgate Sensor Operation on a 2019 Audi Q5
    The Hands-free Liftgate Sensors on your 2019 Audi Q5 will still function with any of the trailer hitches we carry installed, but since you are adding a big piece of steel near the sensors this will limit the area that the sensors pick up your foot movement to directly on either side of the hitch receiver. Out of the Draw-Tite # 76183, Curt # C13331, and EcoHitch # 306-X7397 options I highly recommend the Curt because in our experience their construction is better than the Draw-Tite and...

    Let's start real quickly with your question about installation, and no matter which hitch you choose, the install will be the exact same for all trim models of your 2021 Audi Q5. As for the hitches, here are a couple that fit a 2021 Audi Q5: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e94CR - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7397 These hitches are indeed quite similar, including how they install, as well as their 5,000 lb towing/750 lb tongue weight capacities.

  • Does Installation of EcoHitch on 2022 Audi Q5 S Line Premium Plus Require Cutting or Trimming
    Installation of the EcoHitch # 306-X7397 on your 2022 Audi Q5 S-Line Premium Plus will not require any cutting or modification. The hitch installs behind the bumper beam and the receiver fits in the existing cutout on the rear fascia. If you plan on installing the hitch yourself you should count on needing an extra set of hands. Reinstalling at the end is tricky since you have to line up all of the studs and get that fascia around the receiver. I have attached an installation video below...

  • Why Cant I Use a Curt C13331 on my 2018 Audi SQ5 When It Fits the 2018 Audi Q5
    The reason the Curt # C13331 does not fit on the Audi SQ5 is because of issues with the fascia being different between the Q5 and SQ5; other manufacturers have been able to make their hitches compatible on both, but Curt was not able to address this in their manufacturing. The issue actually stems from what is behind the bumper and under the fascia, and the differences between the Q5 and SQ5 models. For that reason, you will need to go with something like the EcoHitch # 306-X7397, which...

  • Is Stealth Hitch for 2018 Audi Q5 the Least Visible Hitch
    You are on the money that the least visible hitch for your 2018 Audi Q5 is absolutely the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ518. The reason for that is this is the only hitch available for your vehicle in which the receiver portion is removable, so it will be like there isn't a hitch on your Audi at all. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7397 has a hidden crosstube, but the receiver portion will always show. But with the Stealth Hitches option, when you're done...

  • Installation Without Trimming Fascia on Audi Q5 with ECO hitch # 306-X7397
    I understand not wanting to cut into the fascia on your bumper on your Audi Q5. Since the EcoHitch # 306-X7397 is a fairly new addition for the Q5, we do not have an install video available. After speaking with EcoHitch, they tell me that installation of this hitch does not require any cutting into the fascia. For what it's worth, I know that customers have also reported that during installation of the Draw-Tite # 76183, the install of that product can be made without having to cut anything.

  • EcoHitch #306-X7397 on a 2020 Audi Q5
    I spoke with Torklift and they did confirm that the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7397 will fit the 2020 Audi Q5. They are going to update their website to reflect the fitment. There will not be any trimming required as well with this hitch per Torklift on your Q5. I recommend the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT be installed with the hitch. This will give you a 4-way flat trailer connection for any towing that you may do. It will also...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2018 Audi Q5 With No Bumper Fascia Trimming Required
    The Curt Class III hitch, part # C13331 would require that you trim the fascia in order to install it on your 2019 Audi Q5, so I wouldn't recommend it for a leased vehicle. The same would hold true for the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 76183 as you can see in the linked instructions. The good news is that we do offer the EcoHitch Class III, part # 306-X7397 that wouldn't require trimming of the bumper fascia. The installation is more involved, but it won't require altering the vehicle in...
