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 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.

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.The receiver is built solidly. Etrailer needs to step up with how they pack their receivers. A big box with an oddly shaped piece of metal just flopping around with no packing. My order arrived with giant holes on the box and paint missing from the corners and edges of the receiver. It also had paint missing all along the cross member that did not contact the box. I ended up painting the bare metal to prevent premature rust. No point in trying to have Etrailer “fix” it. What they need to fix is their packing process.
Overall this is a good looking and high quality tow hitch. I only give it 4 stars for reason with installation difficulty. The tow hitch is strong and heavy. I was able to install it myself it took me 3 solid hours because I made mistakes and had to redo some of the steps and had difficulty with fitting it onto the van. The side arms of the hitch came crooked it bends inward and not squared looking. After I struggled trying to fit it on my van and failed for a while I almost gave up and wanted to return it but I was hesitant bc it’s too heavy to ship. I took a rubber mallet and bang it out so it finally fit. It was a relieved after all.
I didn’t Jack up the van I am small enough to get under. I used Jack standards to hold it up while I screwed in the bolts. I made mistakes of using only 1 washers the instructions says use 1 flat and 1 lock washer. My bad for not reading the instructions carefully. I wish the instructions came with pictures (I am not a good reader).
The exhaust tail was easy to lower only after I sprayed w-40. So make sure you have it on hand. The instruction says so as well. I watched a [online] video they failed to lower it and installed it as is. This was third party [online videos]. I am more than satisfied after the installation is complete. It is a good quality hitch.
Just installed my new hitch. Went relatively smoothly. A few additional hints... it is best to scrape away the "foam-like insulation" or overspray around the outside of the trunk to ensure you can fit the hitch into place. Also be careful not to hit/bend any of the protruding pins (that hold the plastic undermount) with the horizontal bar of the hitch. You also may need to trim a bit of the plastic undermount on the side without the exhaust for a proper final fit. You also need a second set of hands to complete the job. And one final hint, you do not need to completely remove the plastic undermount....leave the pins/clips closest to the front of the van (sienna 2011) in place and let the panel hang down.

Been happy so far. Some rust forming inside the receiver area which worries me a bit after such a short time though.

Wasn’t easy as a beginner but finally done. Definitely you need 2 adults for proper and easy install.
Hitch is perfect, looks great.....very stealthy to the eye as you only see the receiver. Customer service is spot on and proactive.
