Looking for the world’s only hitch available for the 2026 Nissan Leaf? This trailer hitch is the best hitch for the Nissan Leaf.
Designed specifically for the 2026 Nissan Leaf this trailer hitch combines strength, style, and everyday convenience in a way no competitor can match.
Featuring the world's only stainless steel receiver (patent pending) means it will never rust, protecting your garage floor and concrete driveway from stubborn orange stains that are impossible to remove.
A 100% concealed cross tube with a receiver that is angled upward just enough offers you superior ground clearance and assures your rack and bikes remain level and avoid scraping damage—unlike bulky “diaper hitches” that hang low across your bumper and scrape.

EcoHitch is the only hitch for the Nissan Leaf that maintains full hands-free kick sensor functionality, so you never lose the convenience you love.
This hitch features an Invisi design, meaning the entire cross tube and receiver is completely invisible behind the license plate when not in use.
Built to outlast and outperform, EcoHitch is the ultimate hitch solution for Leaf owners.

Why Other Trailer Hitches Rust
Traditional hitches may prevent accessories from fusing with the vehicle frame-mounted part but fail to protect against rust, causing inconvenience and limiting hitch usage.
Simple Installation
Designed for simplicity, our hitch offers a 100 percent bolt-on installation that won’t disrupt your vehicle’s aerodynamics or require roof-mounted cargo.
EcoHitch® Trailer Hitch Strength
Coated in high-impact powder coat with a Chasm Black finish, our hitches are meticulously sandblasted for maximum durability. Made from a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and steel.
American-Made with a REAL Warranty
Proudly Made in America, our Nissan Leaf hitch is backed by our Legendary Lifetime Warranty. Our knowledgeable team is ready to assist you with installation and support.
***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.
