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.

What a great hitch. I picked this one because it mounts to the strongest part of the car and I didn't want to drill any holes in my spare tire well. I have a 2011 Jetta TDI and it said it didn't fit the TDI, but it fits perfect. I even left the bumper padding in. It's a tight fit to snap the bumper back on, but now there is no flex to the bumper. If someone rear ends me they will have no give before they hit something solid. You have to trim the bumper slightly where the reciever is, but it's easy and you can't see it from above. You can see in the pictures. I would reccomend this hitch to everyone. I pulled a 2000 lb camper cross country with no problems.
very nice unit. very good fit
The only complaint that O have is in the installation video. It says that the compression compound has to be eliminated because it will not fit. On the VW Jetta 2017 does fit and I believe it’s a safety issue to eliminate it. Other than that the video and hardware was great.
Works as advertised. Holds my bike rack well. I've not towed anything with it .
I have ordered a hitch for my Jetta . I'm very happy with my choice . Order came on time . Installation wasn't to difficult .
Easy install looks great just what I wanted for my Bike carrier.
Fit is perfect, installation was straightforward with videos found online. Have used to tow quite a bit and is very sturdy yet still pretty out if sight when not in use. With the hitch height I used a drop hitch and flipped it upside down.
Great purchase. I am 100% satisfied.
First if all, the hitch arrived on the exact date they told me. etrailer kept me up to date at every step. There were instructions and everything needed for the installation. It took more time to get the car up on ramps, get the tools, and clean up than it took to install the hitch.
I have quite a few 2” accessories and this hitch allows me to use them without an adapter. The hitch itself is overkill for this application. The car cannot tow 2000 lbs. i would also not put 300 lbs of tongue weight on that car.
The hitch selection was extremely easy with the video that outlines the different choices for this application.
The installation was extremely easy with the video on this website and the step by step instructions.
To conclude, since no review should miss the “cons”, disappointments, and areas for improvements, I will add my negative comments:
First, the difficulty rating is 10/10. I wholeheartedly disagree. The only way this would be any easier would be to have someone else do it!
Second, the video suggests you should discard the foam absorber. I decided to keep it, give it a try, and it worked. It is a tight fit, but it works. I would suggest letting the customers know that it may fit (at least on the S model) but if you can’t get the bumper cover back in, feel free to
discard it.
Other than that, I am 100% pleased.
Even tough it's advertised for my vehicle as "Hide a Hitch" receiver drags on pavement when encountering small dips in terrain. I will also add it's only 8 3/4's of an inch above ground.
I wanted a clean look with adding a hitch receiver on my sedan. The order was placed with a phone call. The representative was knowledgeable and polite. A few days later the item was delivered
My mechanic installed the unit today.
It looks great! Now I can use my hitch mount bike rack and cargo tray.
Shipped and arrived fast. Great customer service. Great videos for installation.
Trailer hitch fit my Volkswagen Jetta 2014 perfectly. Didn't know what to expect ordering a part like this online. Very pleased with the results. Using etrailer and YouTube videos I was able to complete the installation myself in about 2 hours. If you are mechanically inclined, it is not difficult.
Super easy to install!
Took 20 minutes, start to finish.
Cleanest looking hitch I have found. Pretty easy installation. I put it to work constantly pulling small trailers. Works like it should.
Fantastic easy install super self explanitory 45 mins install
It installs, looks, and functions as advertised and it arrived days earlier than was promised.
