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.

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 stand 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 Stealth 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.Delivery prompt, installation straight forward, the fit is perfect. I would make the cut depth a 1/4” deeper in the bumper (8-1/2”). I will pull the bumper to recut to allow the push pin bracket holes to align with their brackets. Install time ~3hrs (not including redo on bumper cut)
Item arrived in excellent shape. Installed on a 2009 CRV. I had a body shop do the install since they have lots of experience with bumper covers. They said it was easy except that they had to tap the holes for the bolts due to 10 years of corrosion and contaminants. Took a few hours to complete. Rock solid and looks as good as you can expect for an aftermarket hitch. Would purchase again.
I purchased this primarily for use with a bike rack on my 2008 CRV. I haven't had the chance to tow anything with this yet, but the purchasing, shipping and install experience so far have been great.
I ordered the product late at night on a Friday, and by the time I awoke on Saturday I had already received an (automated) order confirmation, notification that the order had been processed and sent to the warehouse, and that the package was on its way.
The trailer hitch arrived in a hefty cardboard box, secured on the inside with more thick card bard and large staples. I for one can't think of a better way to ship a large and heavy product.
Install instructions were adequate, and videos from the manufacturer helped a little. I was able to install this by my self, but having a second person to help lift it in place is probably a better idea than going solo. The hardest part was getting the hidden tabs and clips on the vehicle to disengage to remove parts so this could be installed. I didn't need to tap the holes on the 12 year old car, but I also don't live in a high corrosion area (i.e., near the ocean).
You can’t beat the clean look of this receiver. No visible bar makes it look like it like it was from the manufacture. Easy to install. Take the time to clean out the threads of rust. I didn’t cut enough plastic the first try, had to remove bummer again and cut more (do why they say), took me an additional 10min. No strength issues yet. The vehicle is the limiting factor. 4 bikes with 2 being electric motor bikes is a really big moment.
Stop shopping. Buy it and use it.
Arrived earlier than promised. Installed under my carport in two hours. Looks like a oem factory option. Screwed right on to existing places on frame. Very pleased.

The hitch still works great. I recommend buying the thing that fits in the hitch receiver with the hitch. I had one from another source when I bought the hitch and it fits a little too loosely
I wish I knew it required trimming of bumper before I purchased it I would of rather bought one that didn't require trimming but other then that it gets the job done

After a year, I’m still happy with this hitch. It’s been used to carry our mountain bikes and to pull our dirt bike trailer. It was a good purchase.
