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.Overall very happy with my purchase. Receiver is very high quality and the fit is very good. A few things I would note:
A. Would highly recommend having an impact for getting the crash bar off. I was able to remove it with a socket/breaker bar, but it was extremely difficult.
B. If you ever plan on towing, it is significantly easier to add the trailer wiring while the bumper is off.
C. You will need to trim the bumper to clear the receiver. I didn’t see that called out in the description (it is called for in the instructions), but you will have to cut a small section out of the underside of the bumper.
Again, very good product and am very satisfied!
Great quality, hidden stock look. Installation was pretty easy with two people. I was able to skip jacking the car up and not having to drop the exhaust having the help of another person and positioning it in at just the right angle. There's a bottom lip on the rear that has to be cut and you have to cut past that into the actual bumper a little. Highly recommend.
This was easy to install and provides a very solid hitch mount. Just take off the bumper, remove some bolts, mount the hitch and replace the bumper. Seemless! I like that it’s nearly invisible. I use it to hold bikes for a bike rack, but I’m sure I could haul a small trailer with it as well.
Very pleased with the etrailer hitch for my Mazda 3. It fits up inside the rear bumper shroud, only part that shows is the receiver.
Works well with the Mazda low profile design.
I’m not an auto mechanic and have limited tools but i can figure things out and not afraid to bust a knuckle. I installed the etrailer start to finish in 1 hour (watched video a couple of times and followed directions step by step).
It was easy to find right part, easy to order, and the hitch receiver was delivered very fast. I’m reasonably handy with tools. It took me a little over 2 hours to install and I was not trying to race the clock. In addition to common tools (flat & phillips head screwdrivers, and 8, 10, & 17 mm sockets), i also needed a breaker bar to loosen one of the nuts on the car’s “impact bar” (metal bumper). You might save some time if you skip adding the little piece of trim where you cut the notch in the plastic bumper. It took me a while to get it to fit right and after reinstalling the bumper it is barely visible. If you skip the trim, be sure to cut the notch as clean as possible. A Dremel worked pretty well for me.
This hitch looks extremely strong and well finished. Probably overkill For the bike rack I will be using it for. Installation was not as bad as expected. The hardest part to me was pulling the tail lights loose from retaining clips. Finished product looks inconspicuous and seems to have an upward tilt.
The hitch fit perfectly as described. The video is extremely helpful for installation. Thank you!
Installation was a breeze for this hitch. Followed the provided instructions along with the watching the company's video and was done in about an hour and a half. Everything seems sturdy and solid so can't wait to see how it works in the future.
This concealed hitch is great. Well built, looks great, and Install went well. Plan for 2.5-3 hours if you install yourself. Plastic bumper modification will vary to allow for the 2” receiver. Thank you!
Livraison à temps en avance d’ailleurs très content et je ne suis pas déçu de mon achat encore merci
Great hitch! Looks stock with the car and fits heftier equipment like my Kuat bike rack. Easy to install as long as you follow the instructions and have a little time/patience.
Etrailer is also awesome! Great service and they shipped my order extremely fast. This is my 2nd hitch from them and definitely recommend/will buy from them again!
Excellent tow hitch. Arrived quickly. Installing today on Mazda3, then bike rack. Can’t wait for camping trip with no bikes inside the car. :)
Great hitch. Easy installation, strong, great addition to my car.
Fit my car perfectly. Very impressed with the responsiveness and helpfulness of customer service!
Fits well. Tube is well centered on vehicle. Took 2 of us about 1:20 to install, including cutting down the bumper.
The receiver fit perfectly and customer service was amazing!
Cost effective and extremely simple installation process, fitted perfectly for my vehicle. Slight issue with the cover plate for the rear bumper being pushed out from it's intended housing, but the end result is that the hitch is better hidden. Highly recommend for Mazda 3 Hatch owners, especially if you're hoping for just a little more room on a long trip- Hitch baskets work with this hitch quite well.
My Customer Service person Dena was awesome helping me pick just the right hitch for my car. Etrailer has a great selection. My new hitch is perfect, so unobtrusive on my Mazda 3. Already used with friends and family and a new five bike rack for a Fat Tire Festival!
I am impressed. The install went as smooth as I'd assume it would. Took me about 1 hour as I'm more mechanically inclined. Very happy. Purchased to take my Kuat 4 bike rack. There was minimal sag with 210lbs.
Everything can in as described. Delivered in a timely fashion and boxed perfectly.
This was an easy project. It took my friend and I just under 2 hours to I stall and it looks great!!
Perfect. Use it frequently. Great instr uctions.
Is working very well, no problems whatsoever. I have been using it for carrying a bike rack around, the only problem I have was the difficulty of the install. I had to pay a professional to do it for me.
This item is everything I thought it would be. I love this hidden hitch. great quality and very easy to install.
