Getting ready to install the Subaru WRX EcoHitch

For many people, installing the EcoHitch is a straightforward process. In simplified terms: you remove the bumper, jack it up, bolt in the EcoHitch and then lower the jack or reattach the bumper. But why not turn the installation into a game? We played hide-and-seek with forum user johnnyhle’s 2015 Subaru WRX trailer hitch installation. Can you figure out where the EcoHitch is hidden? Read below to see where we found this Subaru WRX hitch.

It's not underneath the WRX bumper...


 

 

Is It Underneath the Subaru WRX Bumper?
Many of the aftermarket trailer hitches for the 2015 WRX Subaru are typically installed underneath the car, with the crosstube hanging below the bumper. As a part of our hide-and-seek game, we checked under the car and the EcoHitch wasn’t there. We know the hitch was installed, so where could it be?

We have made the installation as simple and easy as possible so you can install it yourself at home with a few tools or you could take it to our growing network of Certified Installers if you don’t feel comfortable installing it yourself. North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club (NASIOC) forum user johnnyhle shared his Subaru WRX hitch installation photos along with the comment:

“Install is cake and removing all the parts (bumper, trunk panels, and the tail lights) are all in the instructions they send you. The tail lights take all of a few minutes to remove both sides.”

Since underneath the car was a no go, we had to check somewhere else for the eco-friendly hidden trailer hitch.

We found the EcoHitch! It was hidden behind the knockout panel

Found It!
After playing an exciting game of hide-and-seek, we finally found the Subaru WRX EcoHitch! It was hidden behind the knockout panel. This aftermarket trailer hitch is always hidden unless it’s being used. Instead of having a receiver hang below the bottom of your car, this Subaru EcoHitch gives you the most clearance possible by being located behind the knockout panel. Below are some features of the Subaru WRX EcoHitch that we think you should know.
