Unmatched Durability, Smarter Design, and Confidence for the Long Haul

Whether you’re towing bikes, cargo, a trailer, or a small camper, your hitch is the foundation of safety and performance. At Torklift, we designed the EcoHitch® to be more than just a towing accessory—it’s a long-term investment in strength, compatibility, and peace of mind.

From road trips to rugged overlanding, here are five reasons EcoHitch continues to outlast—and outperform—the competition.

1. Stainless Steel Receiver: Built to Resist the Elements

Rust is the silent killer of traditional hitches. That’s why EcoHitch features a stainless steel receiver*—a serious upgrade from the mild steel found in most competitor hitches.

  • Won’t rust, even after years of exposure to rain, salt, and road grime
  • Maintains structural integrity season after season
  • Perfect for vehicles in coastal climates, snowy regions, or adventurous terrain

This rust-resistant durability means fewer replacements and lower long-term costs, no matter how often you tow.

*Stainless steel receiver is applicable on EcoHitch part numbers ending in “S”

2. Superior Ground Clearance for Clean Styling and Real-World Use

Ground clearance matters—especially for EVs, crossovers, and low-slung vehicles. EcoHitch is engineered to sit up and within the bumper, unlike diaper hitches that hang low and scrape.

  • Maintains the factory look of your vehicle
  • Keeps your departure angle intact
  • Avoids curbs, speed bumps, and driveway drag
  • Ideal for off-roaders, city drivers, and everyone in between

Whether you're pulling into a trailhead or parallel parking downtown, EcoHitch won't hold you back.

3. Hands-Free Liftgate (Kick Sensor) Compatibility

Many factory hitches interfere with your hands-free liftgate sensor—but EcoHitch doesn’t. We’ve designed our hitches to work with your technology, not against it.

  • Maintains full access to hands-free liftgates on vehicles equipped with this feature
  • Keeps your vehicle’s advanced features functioning as intended
  • Perfect for EVs and modern SUVs with smart tailgate sensors

Don’t give up modern convenience just to add a hitch. With EcoHitch, you don’t have to.

4. Industry-Leading Weight Ratings You Can Trust

EcoHitch is strong where it counts. With tongue weights and towing capacities that meet or exceed factory requirements, you’ll get peace of mind when hauling heavy loads.

  • Designed for serious towing, not just light-duty bike racks
  • EcoHitch models support up to 800 lbs tongue weight and 8,000 lbs towing capacity
  • Tested to meet SAE J684 towing safety standards

Need to know how much weight your vehicle can actually carry safely? We’ve made that easier too...

5. Use Our Maximum Tongue Weight Estimator Tool

Safety starts with staying within your vehicle’s limits. That’s why we built the Torklift Maximum Hitch Weight Estimator Tool—a simple calculator to help you determine your safe towing and tongue weight limits before hitting the road.

  • Plug in your weights, gear, and load
  • Get a personalized estimate of max tongue weight
  • Use with EcoHitch and other towing products to stay compliant and safe

This tool has helped our customers ensure safe setups for long road trips, heavy cargo hauls, and daily use.

EcoHitch isn’t mass-produced overseas. It’s handcrafted in the USA by skilled welders and fabricators who understand how towing really works. With 50 years in business, we design each hitch vehicle-specific—no “one-size-fits-all” shortcuts here.

  • Made in America
  • Backed by a Lifetime Warranty
