*WARNING* Your vehicle may have a lower tow rating than this trailer hitch. If your vehicle’s tow rating is less than the rated towing capacity on your Torklift Central trailer hitch, your trailer hitch capacity is limited to your vehicle’s factory rated towing capacity.

***IMPORTANT NOTICE:

While EcoHitch®️ trailer hitches are built with high-strength materials and tested for exceptional weight ratings, your vehicle’s factory towing capacities are the ultimate limit. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine its maximum towing and tongue weight ratings. No aftermarket hitch or accessory can increase your vehicle’s factory-rated towing capacities.

Using hauling accessories like extensions, cargo trays, bike racks, or other accessories that extend the load out from the trailer hitch, will significantly reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch system.

To estimate how your setup will affect tongue weight, we recommend using our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator before hauling your payload (cargo trays, bike racks, etc).

Disclaimer:It is the user’s responsibility to ensure safe towing practices and to confirm that all loads fall within the limits of the lowest-rated component in the towing system. Torklift is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from the misuse or overloading of towing/hauling equipment.

great product and instructions
Review by
I have a 2013 Model S P85, the "original" model. I followed the directions and was able to install the hitch all by myself, took most of a Sunday but was a pleasant day. No parts left over :) The hitch looks and works exactly as described. I used a Dremel tool for the bumper cutout, I think this might be easier and more controllable than the circular saw shown in the video, since you can control the depth. One other suggestion is to make sure you run the trailer light wiring through the bumper while you have everything taken apart. Cheers and thanks for a great product!
Works great, watch for clearance
Review by
I’ve had the hitch for a few months and use it to haul my bikes. Everything works great with my Kuat 2 bike rack. Much better than a roof rack in terms of energy efficiency as roof racks create considerable more drag resulting noticeable increase in watts/mile. Only caution is that the installed hitch recover is fairly low, so going in and out curbs can result in scraping the hitch receiver. Go slowly and at an angle to minimize this.
The EcoHitch was exactly what we wanted
Review by
We were one of the first to get one installed at Torklift's Kent location back in 2012. We sold the car in 2017, but still had 5 great years with the hitch. Unobtrusive, quiet, easy to use...and Torklift was great to work with.

Our X came with a hitch, but now we have a 3 on the way, so I will be back in touch with Torklift about an EcoHitch for that one...
Sleek Design
Review by
I just installed the Torklift EcoHitch on my Model S and am very happy with the sleek profile and the fact that the receiver can be removed so that you don't see the square receiver part at all when not in use.
Highly Recommend Torklift Central
Review by
I had them [Torklift Central] install our EcoHitch at their Kent location a few months ago. Couldn't have been easier. We're local and my family has used their services for years -- starting way back before Tesla even existed. I've never hesitated to recommend them to anyone.
Well Designed Product
Review by
The EcoHitch is an incredibly well designed product. I had it installed by a local body shop that specializes in high end cars. I use my EcoHitch for my bike rack. There is some impact on range, but I never really use it for trips. Even so, I could easily make it from Supercharger to Supercharger in my 70D.
EcoHitch for Tesla Model S
Review by
The EcoHitch is phenomenal. The way the hitch receiver attaches to the hitch frame and the frame to the car eliminates all the noise and vibration typical of most hitch receivers.
Tesla rack
Review by
Great hitch i use it for 2 electric bikes that weigh 50 lbs each. It took about 1 hour to install the hitch and when i am not using my bike rack i remove the hitch receiver and the car doesn't look any different then any other Tesla
LOVE it. Completely hidden when not in use
Review by
I wrote an extensive review with some installation info on my blog about a year ago. Since then we've used the hitch numerous times and have zero complaints. The cover stays firmly attached when not in use through all four seasons. Read more here: http://teslapittsburgh.blogspot.com/2014/11/my-baby-gets-back-torklift-ecohitch.html
