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.

Excellent product, highly recommended, install much easier than it looks, I was done in 90 minutes and I am not a professional. Work recommend the Torklift Products…very well made!!

2014 Honda Crosstour
Very easy install. Follow the provided instructions and you wont have a problem. Took me 80 minutes by myself. Before you start get a few extra plastic bumper retainers, you might break some or have some missing like i did. I couldnt be happier and its 2"! Worth every penny and i would buy it again in a heartbeat. Thanks etrailer.com

2014 Honda Crosstour
No packing in the box.. Box damaged and a big Hole not sure if all the parts are there.
by: Frank R01/10/2023
Very easy 1 person install following directions. Don’t understand the listing saying 10/10 difficulty. Maybe took and 1 hour 15 minutes. I trimmed the foam pad to reinstall and turned out great. I did pre purchase push pin clips based on prior reviews and used a couple as the stock ones were brittle
by: Dan O.09/08/2023
E Trailer made the buying process very easy. Easy to install for a first timer in a couple hours and by far the best looking hitch for my Honda Crosstour. The only issue I ran into were the sensors in the bumper for the back up alarm would not fit in the holes because of the extra thickness of the hitch behind the crash bar. Disconnected them and cut them in half to fit flush in the holes.
by: Happy C10/10/2023
This hitch was easy to install, and has served me very well. I use it with a crago tray, which provides a great solution for additional storage on longer trips.

The hitch arrived fine. The installation went very smooth. The only small probLem was with the Honda push pin. You have to replace them with new. I replaced those push pins with clip nuts and 3/16" bolts. Worked fine. Here is a picture of the installation .

2011 Honda Accord
This is a fantastic hitch for my 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. It is the only choice that offers a 2" receiver. Installation was not fast because of unexpected difficulty removing rear bumper cover push pins underneath. Two push pins broke during removal and must be replaced. The cutout was not perfect, but close enough and finished result is very satisfying. Added benefit of stronger rear end protection for the car. Now able to use for e-bike rack or towing a small boat, motor, and trailer under 1,500 lbs as that is tow limit for this vehicle. Hitch is rated for tongue weight of 500 lb which is perfect for 2 e-bikes under 100 lb each.

2012 Honda Crosstour
Inaccurate estimated delivery info. Needed this one day before it actually arrived. No apology offered, no discount, just ‘our system was slow updating because an influx of orders’

Product works great!!! I used it to pull my motorcycle.
by: William12/13/2022
Perfect fit on my 2012 Honda crosstour EX-L. Easy to install. Arrived on time. I saw a lot of reviews where the bumper cover had to be trimmed back to fit around the hitch but I was able to make mine fit without trimming. I especially like the design of the eco hitch because all the hardware is tucked up underneath the bumper cover and is protected from rust which is a major problem here in Ohio. There was a slight amount of play in the receiver which caused some clunking going down a bumpy road but that is expected in a lot of hitches and was easily fixed with $10 hitch tightened from [online]
by: Adam05/28/2020
Easy install, simple instructions to follow. Did smaller opening than instructed ( 3” x 1 1/4” ) so the cut is almost invisible

Ford Edge
The hitch installed without any interference. There was no video available for this but there should be. I watched some Accord videos assuming the bumper cover restraints were similar and they were. You really need the plastic tool for disengaging these so as to not break out the plastic keepers on the cover. I had this tools so it went well for me. I had to jack up each side to create some clearance between the fender and the tire to remove one of the screws. I would also advise having replacements for the 6 plastic retainers that are removed to get the cover off. Mine all fell apart and again I was glad i was prepared and had these. This install requires cutting a small area of the cover away for clearance. My hitch did not have the trim piece called out to put over this cut edge. It looks fine to me without it so I am happy enough. I love the hitch and have already used it. I believe the instructions said the assembly time is 2 hours. I moved right along but it still took me closer to 3 hours.

The first note here is that I installed this on a Honda Crosstour. I dont know why this review says Ford Edge? Anyway it has been a year and I use this hitch quite a bit. I spun my car into the ditch in a particularly bad winter day and pulled it out by pulling on this hitch. I put a strap hook into one of the safety chain holes and jerked straight sideways on the car in deep snow. I was pretty worried we were going to jack up the car good but after jerking it 20 or 30 times it finally popped out of the ditch with no damage. Its a good strong hitch and distributes the load into the cars body effectively. I would certainly buy again.
by: Praemus07/25/2022
100% yes would recommend. Top notch product and the website is easy to use. Free shipping and arrived very quickly well packaged.

2010 Honda Crosstour
Originally I purchased a Curt hitch but when I received it I realized it was not what I wanted. The EcoHitch is a great product and it works awesome. I installed it on my 2010 crosstour and have been towing a 5 x 8 trailer with my car ever since. I did beef up the transmission cooler since that crosstour stock towing capacity is pretty low.
by: Bob 08/11/2022
2010 Honda Accord
The EcoHitch was the answer to my prayers. I looked all over the country for a hitch that would fit my 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour. This one bolts nicely behind the bumper mount. After studying installation on YouTube, I took it to a body shop! Just didn't want to mess with the bumper hardware the actual mounting setup looked straightforward. The installation only cost $150. In any event, it works great. The eyelets on either side of the hitch allow me to lock my bike rack to the hitch for extra security. Great product.
by: Tim 05/05/2023
Came on time as advertised with easy instructions to follow! Satisfied once again!!!
by: Justin 08/22/2020
Product is as promised. Had it professionally installed. Only draw back was the box the hitch arrived in was slightly damaged where the hitch broke thru and part of it was sticking out. If the box was slightly bigger this wouldn’t have happened. Hitch was not damaged..

This was the only 2inch receiver hitch option for my 2013 Honda Crosstour. I’ve had it installed now for about a year have no complaints whatsoever. I am very happy with this hitch and would recommend it to anyone with a Honda Crosstour.
by: Benjamin04/10/2022
This hitch was a bit involved to install but not terrible. The instructions were good. I had to remove the whole bumper cover but that wasn’t too difficult. The steel bumper works in conjunction with the hitch so it is super solid. The 2 inch receiver is the only thing visible - the rear of the hitch is hidden which is the best. It does not stick out too far. We did not bother to trim the bumper cover and it looks good and bay has slight pressure on the receiver - you’d never know unless I pointed it out.
by: Eric06/08/2023
So far so good, no problems yet.
by: Ian04/27/2022
This is a really great product. I have seen other cars like mine, 2012 Honda Crosstour, with aftermarket trailer hitches. This one is far better. It was easy to install, and looks like factory. I've had it over a year. Very pleased.
by: Krista M.03/12/2020
Received our 2" hitch at a good price in good time. We needed a 2" receiver for our vehicle just for our bike rack and etrailer made it extremely easy to find the correct product!

Honda Crosstour
The hitch worked great on out Honda crosstour. We had a problem with the first place to install it and had to find another place to put it on. It is a real close fit to the bumper but looks fantastic, you hardly know its there.

- Availability of 2 Trailer Hitch for 2012 Honda CrosstourWe actually have one 2" trailer hitch receiver available for your 2012 Honda Crosstour with the EcoHitch # 306-X7299. In addition to providing the larger 2" opening (which is much better for accessories like a bike rack and cargo carrier), it also features a really nice hidden-crosstube design that will maintain a factory appearance on your Crosstour. The EcoHitch has a 2,000 pound towing weight capacity and a 300 pound tongue weight limit. I have attached the written installation manual...
view full answer... - 2013 Honda Crosstour Fit Installation Concerns w/ Spare Tire and Hitch Placement I would be happy to help you. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 306-X7299 attaches to your Crosstour behind the rear bumper not below your car where the spare tire is. I have attached some pictures from the installation instructions that will show this. The only part of the hitch that hangs down where your spare tire is will be the 2"x2" receiver tube.

- What Size Hitch is Available for 2019 Honda AccordFor your 2019 Honda Accord there are only the 1-1/4 inch hitch size available like with the Curt # C11525. The 2 inch hitch size is typically only seen on heavier duty vehicles like trucks and SUVs and not smaller sedans.
view full answer... - How to Carry 4 Bikes with a 2012 Honda CrosstourWe have exactly what you need. Starting with the hitch, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7299. Since this is a class 3 hitch, it will allow you to carry 4 bikes. For a bike rack, I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH934XTR. This rack weighs approximately 38 pounds. This is important because the weight of the carrier added to the weight of your 4 bikes, must be less than the the tongue...
view full answer... - What is the Least Visible Hitch for a Honda 2010 Accord For Carrying a Hitch Mounted Bike RackIf your 2010 Honda Accord is the 2 or 4 door model, I believe the least visible hitch is going to be the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, item # C11496. The reason that I say this is because the cross tube on this hitch is angled back under the vehicle slightly, rather than going straight across the rear of the vehicle. In terms of the receiver itself, all of the hitches will position the receiver just below the rear bumper in front of the tow hook in the center of the vehicle, which will cause...

If you are needing a wiring harness for your 2012 Honda Crosstour I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118500. Their wiring harnesses are the best in the business and most reliable. This harness plugs into existing wiring in your rear cargo area and does not require any cutting or splicing of wires.

- 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receivers Options for a 2014 Honda CrosstourYes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7299 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Honda Crosstour and will give you a 2" receiver tube opening. Although it is certainly not the most cost effective trailer hitch we have for your vehicle, it is the only one we have that will give you a 2" receiver tube opening without the use of adapter. It is also to my knowledge the only 2" trailer hitch receiver that is available for your vehicle.

Thule no longer produces the Vertex bike racks but there were a few different versions of the Vertex in production at one time. The Thule Vertex 2-bike rack part number 9028XT is compatible with your Class I hitch along with the 4 bike rack version which was part number 9029XT. However, if your Vertex is the swing-away version part # 9031XT...

- 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour Trailer Hitch RecommendationThere are 2 trailer hitches confirmed to fit your 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour model: - EcoHitch # 306-X7299 - Curt # C11002 I prefer the EcoHitch because it has a hidden crosstube and a 2" hitch receiver, but if you're needing something more economical then the Curt is the best choice for you - just understand this has a Class I 1-1/4" receiver and a visible crosstube so your accessories will be a bit more limited and you might have less ground clearance because of the crosstube.

- Best Trailer Hitch For The 2011 Honda Accord Sedan and Bike RackI do have a hitch that fits your 2011 Honda Accord Sedan but the EcoHitch Trailer hitch part # 306-X7299 is designed for the 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour model. I recommend the Class I 1-1/4" Curt trailer hitch part # C11496 because it provides a half inch more ground then the other options. The extra ground clearance is helpful when you are carrying a bike rack because the rack is less likely to drag the ground in low ground clearance situations. The Curt can handle up to 200 lbs of tongue...

Instead I recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11085 which has a 1-1/4" receiver, but has the same 2000lb trailer weight rating as the EcoHitch option. This hitch can be used for light duty towing and to do so you would...

I recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7299 because it has a higher tongue weight capacity of 525 pounds verses the 200 pounds of the Curt and with the 2" receiver opening, you have many more options for accessories. The downside of the EcoHitch is that it is more expensive than the Curt and much more difficult to install. Then for a bike...

- Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for a 2011 Honda Accord CrosstourWhen a trunk mounted bike rack is installed on a vehicle you cannot open the rear hatch or door. The weight of the rack and bikes would be too much for the hinges if the door swings to the side or if the hatch opens up the shocks would not be able to support the weight.

Take a look at the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7299. If you plan on doing some towing, check out the etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4.

The trailer hitch simply includes all the needed mounting hardware for installation. This is the case with any of our available trailer hitches. To add wiring, you will need the Curt Harness # C56215. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.
