*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.

Customer Reviews
Read the instructions carefully and you'll have no problem installing it. The tool I mentioned is a wire with a spring on the end. Though it's not used as a spring, it's used to thread the bolt onto it so you can pull it and the backing plate through the hole in the frame to reach the other side. Ingenious way of doing this.
Everything is included with the kit, even some edging to put around the cut out in the bottom of the bumper that the receiver pulls up to. Again, very well thought out.
We are very pleased with the robustness of the hitch and would definitely recommend this hitch to anyone thinking about putting one on their vehicle. After a year of use, I have nothing but positive things to say about the hitch. My son uses it quite frequently to carry his bike and carrier when he comes home and the hitch has been flawless. We really like the hidden design of the hitch. It truly feels like its part of the car and was a factory install. If youre on the fence about this hitch, Id pull the trigger and get it.
PS removing the bumper is easy, it's just screw and clips just read the instructions since there is pictures and anyone can do it.
