Attach accessories to the front of your Ram 3500 with this trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more. Hidden cross tube leaves only receiver visible. Aluminum and steel alloy construction is sturdy and eco-friendly.
Features:
Specs:
The EcoHitch Hidden front-mount trailer hitch is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame. No drilling or welding is required. Once the hitch is installed, only the receiver will be visible. 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.

Attach accessories to the front of your vehicle with this trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more. Hidden cross tube leaves only receiver visible. Aluminum and steel alloy construction is sturdy and eco-friendly.Perfect hitch for those needing a rack for extra space. I used a heavy duty vinyl bag to enclose my tools, cords and generator on my 12k mile trip to alaska. The held that 500lbs extremely well across the permafrost damaged Alaskan highway! No twists, no bends and no worries!
This is a well made and very durable hitch. We bought it to be able carry our canoe on our pickup while also pulling our fifth wheel. It works well. The canoe is carried quite a ways to the front to allow the fifth wheel to move around as needed. We did have some trouble with installation due to irregular dimensions on the truck. Here is where etrailer really shines, they made another one for us adjusted to our goofy specs. I have nothing but good to say about their marvelous customer service. We got the new one on and now we can take our canoe along anywhere. These guys are great.
Just what I needed. The hitch fit perfectly, all parts were there and the installation instructions were very clear.
Fairly easy to install, much easier with 2 people. Did the job intended of carrying a small motorcycle securely across the country.
Works great with the bike rack. Looks nice, easy installation. I'm glad I bought it. I would recommend.
Fit nice. I haven't used it to move a trailer yet. I didn't have tow hooks and the factory ones are high so I paid the extra to get the hitch instead.
The product itself is great. One star deducted because 1) the wrong installation manual was provided. Credit to etrailer because once I notified them, they sent me the correct one within 24 hours. 2) A tremendously oversized box was used for shipping. Consequently , the item which is heavy as you would expect shifted during shipping and caused a huge hole in the box. Fortunately, the bolts were bagged and taped well to the item but this does give a slight passibility that the bolts could be lost in shipping.
Super simple installation, not easy, but simple. Definitely need two people, one under the truck and one standing, total install incl. removing OEM tow hooks, about two hours.
Great hitch and perfect fit. Attaching the inboard bolts is tricky. You’ll need an articulating ratchet with low profile socket or wrench to hold the nut while you unthread/thread and torque. Other than that, it’s very straight forward. A second set of hands is a big help too. Highly recommended!

It’s been a year and the hitch still functions and looks as if it were new. Great product for any accessory needs. Does not work well on my vehicle with a bike rack. The bikes sit far too high and block the drivers view. That isn’t necessarily the fault of the hitch. Highly recommend!
This was well built, easy to install and completely satisfied my need for a front hitch.
Fairly easy to install and is solid! Has been great being able to carry 2 of our 4 Lectric bikes on the front while having the Fifth-Wheel!
Although, I have seen a lot of reviews stating poor packaging and this is the case here too! Almost lost hardware as box was not strong enough to hold the heavy items... etrailer, you guys are amazing and have been the only place to go for any trailer needs.... You need to fix this poor packaging issue.
Always fast shipping, good quality and fair prices

Very Good
I first contacted etrailer and received great customer service. They answered all my questions and gave me a few suggestions base on my needs. I ordered two items from etrailer, Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver (306-X7900) and Winch Mounting Plate (6495). Upon arrival one item was missing and once again contacted etrailer and got it resolved. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. My missing item arrived within a few days.
The hitch received is great. The welds are fantastic and it looks even better on. I ended up spray-painting the bolts before installing to blend in with hooks/truck. Made it easier just to do a small touch up and not worry about the over spray.
Already installed the same day received. Did it myself in about an hour or so. Shipping packaging didn’t have a scratch on it.
This hitch is excellent!!! It has done everything I need it to. In the picture you can also see another excellent torklift product the torklift generator rack.
Very easy order process. Outstanding web site and excellent email tracking of the shipment.

Ive found that this front hitch has worked out outstanding. I have a large barge that I needed to get intothe lake with several hair pin turns. This hitch allowed me you drive the boat trailer to the lanch point. Giving me greater control for a tight area. Anouther plus is that I was able to to my my 10,000 lbs winch from the front to the back. Having this flexability is great. Highly recommend this product.
I was looking for a receiver bar that I could mount along with a brush guard. I did not want or need the full bumper replacement with the receiver built in. This was the only hitch receiver I could locate that would be compatible with a brush guard. The challenge was locating a brush guard that had the uprights on the outside of the tow hooks. I found the Steel Craft brush guard worked great with this item to provide the solution I wanted.
Perfect fit up, looks good, will make trailer positioning easier.

I love the hitch. It makes parking trailers so much easier in low clearance areas. I’ve used the tow hooks too many times to count. Perfect for a working man’s truck.
Product fit nicely. It'll work as intended. Just cost a little more than it should for some 2" square tubing and plate.
Seamless install in my ram 3500. Came well packaged and secured. The truck bolts were a little bit harder to get to but the instructions were very helpful and thorough, which is a truck issue not a product issue. Looking forward to using for a generator rack for our truck camper.
Product is very heavy duty, bolted right into place, no issues. Remember to reroute your block heater plug if it ends up behind the tube before mounting the hitch.
My truck (a 2014 ram 3500) was buried in mud, sitting on the frame. I used this hitch as a lift point to jack the truck up and get rocks under the tires. The hitch held up great to the weight in the truck and I was able to get the truck out with minimal effort. I have a 2012 stuck in the mud as well and so I will see how well it holds up to a winch. Definitely using this beyond its design limits but it’s proving worth the money.
Good quality. Uses factory bolt hardware instead of hardware in packaging.
Perfect for a basket type carrier. Hidden well, stout.
