Note: The included receiver attachment is only for hitch-mounted accessories and cannot be used for towing. To tow with this hitch, you must use the included ball mount attachment.
This Stealth Hitches trailer hitch includes everything you need to hook up your trailer for towing. The ball mount pops into the hitch's center block so you can attach your trailer's coupler to the hitch ball. The wiring harness lets you power your trailer's lights. And the safety chain loops let you attach your trailer's safety chains. A receiver attachment is included as well for those times you need to use a bike rack or cargo carrier instead of towing your trailer. This all-in-1 solution saves you the headache of scrambling for missing parts, so you can get on the road faster than ever.
Completely Hidden Design
Nothing can ruin the clean, stylish look of your vehicle like a giant piece of metal bolted beneath the bumper. Luckily, with the Stealth Hitches trailer hitch receiver, you never have to worry about messing up your vehicle's lines.
This hitch installs behind your bumper, keeping the cross tube concealed and leaving only the ball mount visible. Even better, the ball mount can be easily removed from the cross tube when it's not in use, so you won't see any trace of the hitch. This means that you can retain that clean, from-the-factory look for your ride, while still being able to tow your trailer on the next family road trip.
This hitch also comes with a removable 2" square receiver, which can be used to mount any variety of hitch accessories, like your bike rack or cargo carrier.
Simple Set Up
Both the ball mount attachment and receiver attachment can be installed and removed in seconds with no tools required. Simply pop the selected attachment's base up into the stainless steel block at the center of the hitch until it automatically latches in place.
Be sure to then press the lock on the side of the block to fully secure the attachment. When you're finished hauling, use the included key to unlock the latch. Then turn the handle on the block clockwise and remove the attachment. You can stow the attachments in a safe place like your vehicle's rear cargo area, or you can use a convenient carrying case (391CASEC - sold separately).
And when you're not using an attachment, the included hitch plug covers the center block's opening to protect the hitch's body from dirt and debris.
Wiring Installation
The included wiring splices into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area, on the passenger's side. Once you've made all of the necessary connections, insert the provided fuse into the in-line fuse holder.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A magnetic clip is included to attach the connector to your hitch.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

Tow your small trailer with this completely hidden trailer hitch. Remove the ball mount for a fully concealed look when you're not towing. Use the included receiver attachment to mount a bike rack or cargo carrier. Trailer wiring included.by: Robert10/04/2022
My wife and I installed this on her Model 3. Took about a half a Saturday; no issues. We drove her Tesla with a small trailer from Georgia to Annapolis Maryland and picked up a sailboat kit. Had no problems pulled like a dream. What we saved on shipping the boat kit, as opposed to picking up at ourselves, paid for the hitch. I well balanced thousand pound load. The tesla I didn’t know it was there.
by: Thomas 01/08/2023
It went on as specified without any real difficulty. No problems installing. I had the assistance of a very competent friend which made all the difference for me. It took us no more than 3 hours total to install the hitch and wiring. It has also worked fine since installation. the rotating pin on the receiver is a bit stiff and hard to apply enough torque where it is to get it to turn to put the hitch into receiver. Very pleased with the product.

Ford Edge
The eTrailer kit was complete. The team has thought of everything. The cover was almost perfect and only néeded a slight chamfer on the edge that first contacts the cutout edge to easily but securely fasten. I’m not a fan of splice-blocks but used them and only had 1 of the 3 that needed some encouragement to make contact. I would suggest a hole saw and jig saw to make the cutout as they leave a nicer surface. The hitch went on quickly, the wiring too 2x as long as the hitch install.
by: James 12/29/2022
Great product. Wish the tongue weight capacity was like 600-800lb instead of only 350lb but maybe that’s a vehicle hardware constraint not the hitch strength. Other then that this product is incredibly useful!

2022 Tesla Model 3
Excellent quality product. The [online] videos made it so easy to install myself, with a friend!! Looks so stealth, which is why I bought it. Who wants a hitch sticking out of their Tesla anyways??! Highly recommend this to all Tesla Lovers that also need to tow or carry large items with their car.

Absolutely love it!
Carlos C - 10/08/2022by: Greg01/29/2023
I love the hitch. I'm about 4 months from the 2 year mark. I use it once or a twice a week in the warmer season to pull a small landscape trailer with an (electric) zero-turn mower. I always remove the hitch from the receiver when not in use. No issues to date.
by: Joe 11/15/2022
10/10. I’ve been using this hitch on my model 3 and there has been absolutely no issues. Great installation video and paper instructions.

Great product and fitment. Good installation instructions provided
by: M04/12/2021
Great hidden hitch receiver. Straight forward DIY installation. Watch the accompanying video for installation. I’ve used it for a year and I’ve probably take it on and off the car over 50 times. No problems.

Great. Still going strong. No issues. Still using it several times per year taking the hitch mount on and off and using it to haul a 1up bike rack.

So far I haven't been able to break it. If I do I'll contact you to purchase another one.

very sturdy hitch. good installation instructions. really hidden when not used. blends into car when installed (Tesla M3).
by: Travis06/29/2022
Good hitch a little hard to put the receiver in but we'll worth the clean look when all closed up
by: Allen08/22/2020
Clearly a superior product. Installation required two people and the supplied instructions were accurate and well written. No rattling whatsoever with the included drawbar.

Tesla
This is the perfect hitch for my Tesla Model3, I found excellent instructions on Youtube so the installation was strait forward. I especially appreciate that it comes with Bothe a 2" ball and 2" receiver that mount securely to the installed assembly. The connection to the chassy of the car is solid so there is no clunking noise as I tow my trailer with my silent Tesla.

There is one less bolt in my 2021 Tesla model 3 and the wiring was different colors then the instructions. Probably the newer model.

See what our Experts say about this Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch
- Hidden Removable Trailer Hitch for 2018 Tesla Model 3For the 2018 Tesla Model 3 we have the Stealth hitches like part # 391TES317 which have a lower opening that is removable and allows for a totally invisible look when not in use. This is the part number for if you were to be only carrying a hitch accessory like a bike rack. We also have the part # 391TES317T which comes with everything needed for towing as well including wiring and a ball mount attachment.
view full answer... - Which Stealth Hitch Fits on a 2021 Tesla Model 3 With Only 3 Bolt HolesYou are correct that Tesla has removed one of the bolt holes where a hitch would be installed, but there is a new bracket that is available for this hitch that does address the change for the 2021 Model 3. You will still order the same # 391TES317 (for accessories only) or # 391TES317T (for towing and accessories) that is listed as a fit for your vehicle but new brackets are included. I've linked an installation video of this part for you to have a look at, as well.
view full answer... - What Are the Weight of EcoHitch and Stealth Hitch Available for 2019 Tesla Model 3The difference in weight between the EcoHitch # 306-X7373 and Stealth Hitch # 391TES317 is going to be negligible, as both weigh around 45-lbs. If you're planning on towing and go the Stealth Hitch route, you'll need the # 391TES317T instead of the # 391TES317 since it comes with the complete towing kit including trailer wiring and ball mount.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2021 Tesla Model 3The same Stealth trailer hitches that fit the 2020 Tesla Model 3 are also a confirmed fit and will work perfectly with the 2021 model. Keep in mind though that this is a Stealth brand hitch, which is different from EcoHitch. There isn't an EcoHitch hitch currently available that will fit the 2021 Tesla Model 3. If you ever plan on towing a trailer with your Model 3, you'll want to use part # 391TES317T, which comes with the needed ball mount piece and trailer wiring (along with the 2"...
view full answer... - Will Installing Trailer Hitch On 2021 Tesla Model 3 Void The Factory Warranty?Adding a trailer hitch to a vehicle like the 2021 Tesla Model 3 you were looking at at your local Tesla dealer will not void the vehicle warranty. This is due to you being protected by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, passed by Congress in 1975, ensures that consumers can install aftermarket parts without the fear of voiding their warranty. The only way the warranty would be voided is if the install of the component or the component itself caused the damage to the vehicle. For...
view full answer... - Stealth Hitch For 2022 Tesla Model 3Yes, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver is a confirmed fit for the 2022 Tesla Model 3. Order the same # 391TES317 (for accessories only) or # 391TES317T (for towing and accessories)
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit on 2021 Tesla Model 3Good question, and while we do have a hitch that fits your 2021 Tesla Model 3, I reached out to EcoHitch who confirmed the hitch you asked about isn't a fit for the '21 Model 3. They mentioned that while the two model years were similar, the chassis configuration is slightly different in that there are a different number of bolt holes from '20 to '21 where the hitches install. There is a hitch designed to fit the 2021 Tesla Model 3 though, and is very similar, from Stealth Hitches. It...
view full answer... - Difference Between Stealth Hitch Applications for 2021 Tesla Model 3We offer two different hitch fits from Stealth Hitch for a 2021 Tesla Model 3. If you'll be using the hitch as an attachment point for a hitch mounted accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier only, you'd want to use the # 391TES317 which features a removable receiver (not for towing use). When it's not needed, the receiver can be disconnected, making the hitch completely invisible. If you'll also need to tow with the hitch, you'd use part #391TES317T which includes the removable...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2021 Tesla Model 3The best trailer hitch option for a 2021 Tesla Model 3 is Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver part # 391TES317. This hitch will be completely hidden once installed so you'll maintain a factory appearance while not in use. It's a custom fit for the Model 3 so there is no drilling or welding required. The hitch opening is 2" which allows for tons of accessories to choose from like bike racks and cargo carriers. If you want to do some towing there is a different kit you will need, part...
view full answer... - Difference Between Stealth Hitches For 2021 Tesla Model 3Stealth Hitch offers two hitch fits for the 2021 Tesla Model 3, the # 391TES317 and the # 391TES317T. Both hitches are identical, the difference is what's included with each hitch. The # 391TES317 features a removable receiver that's intended as a mounting point for a hitch mounted accessory like a cargo carrier or a bike rack only. It isn't intended for towing a trailer. The # 391TES317T is the same hitch, but in addition to the removable receiver, it also includes a drawbar for towing...
view full answer... - Stealth Hitch Fit for 2022 Tesla Model 3I spoke with my contact at Stealth Hitch, who tells me that they had a 2022 Tesla Model 3 in their shop a couple days ago. They did indeed confirm that their # 391TES317 is indeed a fit for the 2022 Tesla Model 3. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll want to use the # 391TES317T instead, as it includes the ball mount and trailer wiring harness needed for towing. I've linked to an install video for the hitch.

The receiver that comes with the Stealth Hitches has been tested and approved for the lighter duty of accessories which is why the Stealth Hitches ball mount kit is needed for towing. Attached is an installation video of this hitch being installed...

This comes with just the receiver for an accessory. If you think there might even be a chance of towing a trailer or needing a light kit for accessory lights then I say just go with the complete kit # 391TES317T so you don't have to think about it again. If the need ever arises you already have the wiring in place and the ball mount for the towing. Attached is an installation video...
view full answer... - Best Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2022 Tesla Model 3The best trailer hitch receiver for your 2022 Tesla Model 3 is from Stealth Hitches, for a number of reasons. First is that the receiver and ball mount are removable, so when you aren't using your bike rack or towing, your Tesla is going to completely retain its factory appearance. It also does not require any type of drilling into your Tesla's frame, which not only makes the install easier but is great for your vehicle. There are two Stealth Hitches options that fit your '22 Tesla, one...

- Recommended Stealth Hitch for a 2022 Tesla Model 3I have two options for Stealth Hitches that fit your 2022 Tesla Model 3 depending on what you will be using the hitch for. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit item # 391TES317T has an included wiring harness and ball mount so you can tow a small trailer. This hitch also includes a 2" receiver for hauling accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers.

view full answer... - What is Towing Capacity of 2018 Tesla Model 3 with Stealth Hitch InstalledWhile I wasn't able to find a listed capacity for this hitch on the installation instructions, the Stealth hitch part # 391TES317T has a 3,500 lb towing capacity and a 350 lb tongue weight capacity. I confirmed this with my contact at Stealth Hitches for you. Your 2018 Tesla Model 3 on the other hand only has a 963 lb towing capacity as listed by Tesla. This means you would be limited by your vehicle's capacity, which in this case, is the lowest rated component.

With that said, the Stealth Hitch # 391TES317T is a great solution to tow a light weight boat with your 2018 Tesla Model 3. You'll need to know the total weight of the boat and trailer, as well as the tongue weight of the trailer to determine whether or not it is within the capacity of your Model...

There is not sort of adapter to get more rise, and there is not another hitch available that can use a standard ball mount. Due to that the only options would be lowering the trailer suspension, or fabricating a tongue below your current one lowering...

The Stealth Hitch for your Model 3 installs completely hidden because it installs behind the bumper and is accessed via the knockout panel that's already on your Tesla's underbody, so it allows you to keep the factory look in tact by only being visible...

While they were unable to give me an exact amount for the amount of power the wiring harness of the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2", part # 391TES317T, draws when not connected to a trailer, I was assured that it is minimal. According to Stealth it should not affect your 2021 Tesla Model 3's computer and/or vehicle's operation.
