Hidden Design for a Clean, Factory Look

The EcoHitch Stealth trailer hitch is designed to be completely out of sight when you're not towing. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame, behind your rear bumper. No drilling or welding is required. Once installed, the cross tube will be completely concealed and only the receiver will be visible beneath your bumper. But unlike other hitches with hidden cross tubes, the Stealth goes one further. You can remove the receiver portion of the hitch for a completely out-of-sight setup. To mount the receiver, just insert it up into the access port that is built into the cross tube. Secure the receiver to the hitch with the supplied bolt and washers. When you're done towing, just remove the receiver portion to return your vehicle to its clean, factory appearance.


Eco-Friendly Material

With a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, each EcoHitch is made of a strong metal alloy that will stand 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.


Rigorous Strength Testing Ensures Durability

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 Stealth trailer hitch is carefully researched and strength tested for a durable, high-quality hitch that can resist damage while on the road.

EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" - EH44FR

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (25 Customer Reviews)

Great hitch! Well designed and quality construction.

The
main reason for my review though is to let other people know that the description is incorrect. This hitch works perfectly on the X5M, despite the description stating otherwise. I talking about a true “M” model here, not an X5 with an M performance add on package. See my photos for details, exhaust is completely different on an X5M.

The only reason I am not giving this hitch 5 stars is that for some reason the manufacturer decided to rate/design this hitch for only 5000lbs max. The towing capacity of an X5M is 6000 lbs, so that is what this hitch should have been designed for in my opinion.



by:

Package arrived earlier than expected. Easy installation and I'm loving the custom fit hidden hitch. Appreciate the fact the they've included an expanding trim rivet because as expected the old one broke..

I love this hitch. It’s on my BMW X5 2018. Took the plastic facia off, mounted it and put the facia back on pretty easy. I have my boat and WaveRunner with it.

Nice unit , bit of a pain to install but looks and functions great, would buy another if I get a new suv

This hitch was installed on a 2020 BMW X5 SUV. I spent about a day to install, but it went well. The videos were very helpful. I then towed a BMW GTL 1600 motorcycle on a trailer about 4000 miles and everything went very smoothly. Very happy with the hitch.



by:

Nothing on the hitch shows except for the 2" receiver hole which is so much better than a lot of ugly installations out there. Highly recommended!

  • Will the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2016 BMW X5 40e
    The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7265 for models without backup sensors or part # EH44FR for models with backup sensors will fit all models of a 2016 BMW X5 expect for those with the M performance package. In regards to installation, these options both require the removal of the rear bumper but this is what allows for the hidden, sleek install look so it's the best option.

  • Correct EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2018 BMW X5
    It does matter which EcoHitch trailer hitch receiver you get for your 2018 BMW X5, as there are fit differences, like you mentioned, as the hitches are designed slightly differently. The # EH44FR is a fit for X5's that have back-up sensors, so the correct fit for your 2018 BMW X5 that does not have back-up sensors is the following: - EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7265 They otherwise do have the same 5,000 lb towing and 750 lb tongue weight capacities, and the 2 inch receiver...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation with Least Amount of Modification on a 2013 BMW X5
    From what you described you're either looking for the EcoHitch # EH44FR which doesn't require fascia trimming but it does replace the OEM impact structure behind the bumper, or the Draw-Tite # 75600 which is the only hitch that lets you reinstall the impact structure, but it does require fascia trimming. I personally like the EcoHitch option here better because you don't have to modify anything. With all of the hitches available for your 2013 BMW X5 the impact structure needs to be removed...

  • Can 2 inch EcoHitch that Fits 2017 BMW X5 be Used with 1-1/4 inch Hitch Bike Rack
    For your 2017 BMW X5 there are only 2 inch hitch sizes available like the mostly hidden EcoHitch part # EH44FR that you mentioned. To use this hitch size with your bike rack that was designed for the 1-1/4 inch hitch size you'd want the hitch reducer part # HT02.

  • Can I Still Access The Tow Hooks On My 2013 BMW X5 With The EcoHitch Stealth Receiver Installed?
    I spoke to EcoHitch and their Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH44FR does not require the removal of the tow hooks to install their receiver. So your tow hooks will still be accessible on your 2013 BMW X5.

  • Is There an EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2015 BMW X5 with Reverse Sensors
    There are two EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receivers for a 2015 BMW X5, part # 306-X7265 if you don't have reverse sensors or part # EH44FR if you do have reverse sensors. Therefore, it looks like you need the latter of the two options. I have attached a photo of the latter for you as well.

    Assuming that your vehicle has the M Sport trim package but isn't the M or the M performance model, both the EcoHitch # EH44FR for vehicles with a back up sensor or # 306-X7265 for vehicles without the back up sensor and the Stealth # SH85VR would work great for your X5. If the 5000 lb capacity of the EcoHitch would accomplish your needs, there's really no reason not to go with the EcoHitch. Both EcoHitch and Stealth have great reputations for their excellent quality, and as you said,...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2014 BMW X5 35i Which Does Not Require Removal Of Impact Structure

  • Will Trailer Hitch for 2016 BMW X5 xDrive35i With M Sport Package Hold Motorcycle and Carrier
    The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # SH85VR has a max tongue weight of 600 lbs when using the 2" receiver. This means the hitch will be able to handle your motorcycle and carrier without any issues. It looks like the 2016 BMW X5 xDrive35i tongue weight capacity is also enough to handle this weight but I recommend verifying this with the owner's manual. You will be limited by whichever capacity is lower. If you would like to save some money, the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer...

  • Comparing Stealth Hitch and EcoHitch for a 2018 BMW X5

The rack receiver does not require tools to be removed/installed and it can be locked unlike the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # EH44FR. The install instructions for the Stealth hitch are also more detailed.

To use the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C51180 you will need to install a 7-way on the vehicle which will require starting first with a 4-way part # C56190KIT and then using the # ETBC7L.
