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.Everything that etrailer.com did was outstanding. My problem was the fact that four of the eight metric split lock washers were not included in the hardware kit. The missing hardware caused a delay in the installation and a trip to the local hardware store. Both items were shipped promptly and well packaged.
Folks at etrailer helped me get the right hitch and install video made very easy to install. This is my third hitch I’ve purchased from etrailer great company to work with.
Instructions were thorough. I used a scissors hydraulic Jack as my “second pair of hands(as I didn’t have an overhead hoist) , and, took my time with the install.
Looks good on our new Highlander after all was done.
Perfect hitch. I really like the fact that it is hidden and you only see the receiver. Installed by myself without any issues. Note: Get some extra plastic push clips for the bumper and side plastic. You will probably break some trying to get them out.
The hitch fit very nicely under our '21 Toyota Highlander XSE. The only part visible is the hitch receiver. Very happy to pay a little more for a better aesthetic.
Fit well but a bit difficult to install. Lower side plate bolts are very close to hitch bolts. Hard to access hitch bolts. Also bolts have to be tightened in a specific order to install the hitch correctly. All the bolts have to be snugged up first to locate all the pieces and center the hitch. Then the bolts for the hitch to the frame get tightened. The lower side plate bolts have to be loose to access the hitch bolts. Then the upper side plate bolts can be tightened and finally the lower side plate bolts.
Also why mix metric bolts and English/SAE bolts? Couldn't all the bolts be metric? Then I can use one set of tools.
Finally I could not remove the muffler from the rear support bracket. I've worked on many exhaust systems and even have the special pliers for pushing out the support hooks. You can't move the exhaust system enough to pop out the hooks. The support bracket had to be removed and reinstalled in order to get the hitch above the muffler.
For highlander xse after installation you need change your exhaust hanger lower your exhaust tips. Looks ugly but this is the only way to make it fits
So far so good
Hitch arrived as expected, I installed as per video on site without any significant issues, Overall a good experience.
