Will Installation of EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2021 Nissan Leaf Damage the Frame
Question:
Just wanted to know if your eco hitch will fit a 2021 Nissan Leaf. My mechanic claims the install will be difficult and likely to damage my car frame. Have you had any complaints about this? Thanks

Expert Reply:
Installation of the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221 on your 2021 Nissan Leaf will not damage the frame of your vehicle. It is possible that access holes may need to be enlarged for installation, but the hitch does not impact the frame in any way and bolts on underneath.
The only way you are going to damage the frame of your vehicle is if you exceed your towing capacity or tongue weight capacity. Although this hitch has a maximum gross towing weight of 2,000 lbs and max tongue weight of 300 lbs, more than likely your vehicle is not capable of handling this much weight. Make sure to check your owner's manual for the towing and tongue weight capacity of your vehicle.
I have attached an installation video for your reference.
