***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 service was extremely helpful when a part was missing from the box.

One of the recommended shops installed this on my '17 BMW i3 Rex. We use this with both a 4-bike and a 2-bike rack, carrying up to 4 mtbs. I love the look, and this is doing it's job perfectly

I love everything about this hitch, but mostly I am excited about being able to transport bikes in my i3.
Review by
The told necessary were minimal (sockets, torque wrench, Dremel) and the instructions were clear. The images are in black and white, and take a bit to figure out what it is they are showing, but they are thorough. I was able to do the whole thing by myself, although an additional person would have made it way faster. Now I'm off to get a hitch bike rack.

Shipping box does not secure the hitch. It was bouncing around apparently. Dug into bag of parts crimping the trim. Otherwise easy install. Left end of hitch mount was tighter than right. Bolted the right side and hammered the left into position. Is the brace bar supposed to be squared to the hitch? Painted the brace bolts black for a low vis appearance. Very stout parts.9

Plug and play, good fit, simple instructions to follow.

Rock solid after one year. No issues at all

Great product. Instructions were pretty good. There are some good install videos online that are very helpful.
The ‘C’ clamps that fit over the OEM impact rail are a little tight, but a few taps with a rubber mallet put it into position easily.
I remember thinking ‘Do I really need to relocate the antennae? seems to be out of the way.’ Yes, yes you do!

Installation is straight forward

Easily accomplished by someone with basic mechanical skills. The hitch is the best solution for someone who is into cycling and wants to mount a bike rack. Highly recommend
