Key Features:

  • Versatile Combo Rack and Tow Hitch: The EcoHitch allows you to tow or use a bike rack without needing any additional accessories. Some other hitches require separate adapters for towing, the EcoHitch is designed to do it all, providing seamless integration for all your towing and bike rack needs.
  • Completely Concealed Hidden Design: Only the receiver is visible, maintaining your Ioniq 5’s sleek appearance.
  • Patent Pending Stainless Steel Receiver: The world’s only REAL stainless steel trailer hitch receiver—built to stay rust free for life.

Our stainless steel design stops corrosion before it starts, so your vehicle stays sharp, your gear never fuses in place, and your garage floors or driveways stay pristine. Learn more here.

EcoHitch offers some of the highest tongue weight capacity available— for securely transporting bikes, cargo trays, additional gear, etc.
  • Class 3 Compatible? – Check Your Setup: Most E-Bike rack manufacturers require a Class 3 hitch. Many EcoHitches feature designs similar to Class 3 performance standards, but not all hitch offerings support every one of the Class 3 standards. Whether you're using an EcoHitch or another hitch, maintain your confidence that your hitch combination can safely carry your E-Bike setup- use our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator to estimate your set up.

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 Ioniq 5 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.

Overall impressions
Robust, looks and feels like a premium product.
Significantly better design than Hyundai OEM hitch, which is only available in 1.25” size and sits below bumper. The EcoHitch does require cutting the main rear bumper, but thus provides at least 4” more ground clearance vthan the OEM hitch.
Other aftermarket options I viewed also sit below the bumper. This was a no-go as the ground clearance of the Ioniq 5 is already limited.
Part of me wonders if a one-piece hitch design would have worked – with shims or similar to allow for connection to the stock attachment points. The three-piece design introduces some potential failure points at angular pivots.
The retail price of $427 for this hitch seems like a fair price point, especially given its design advantages vs. OEM and other aftermarket hitches. The stainless construction and coating also feel like they’ll outlive the car.
In my initial towing trials, the Ioniq 5 with the EcoHitch tows GREAT. The AWD / 320hp / significant torque made easy work of my 1,500-pound boat.
I would feel comfortable towing up to around 2,500 pounds with this on occasion. The three-piece design does make me leery of too heavy of loads. Having said that, I don’t plan to tow anything big for long distances with this vehicle.

Works well

The EcoHitch for the IONIQ 5 is a great balance of features that allow it to work well for towing and other hitch-mount applications. We've used it for carrying four bikes on a hitch-mount rack and it works very well. I like that it's not as low as the OEM hitch so it won't scrape in low-clearance situations (like steep driveways). I also appreciate that, although you need to cut the bumper to install it, once done, it looks like it was done at the factory and matches the aesthetic of the rest of the car well. It's sturdy, well-built, and feels strong. I'm glad we picked it and would absolutely recommend it!

Great Hitch
Review by
After purchasing my Hyundai IONIQ 5 LTD, I knew that a hitch was in order to carry of a couple of mountain bikes, and occasionally a popup camper on family outings. After reading multiple product descriptions and reviews online I decided that the Torklift EcoHitch was the one for me.

The deciding factor was the fact that the receiver is crafted from stainless steel. I’ve had several hitches over the years on different vehicles and those made from carbon steel products are prone to accumulating layers of rust, flakey paint, and other debris within the cavity. Those hitches create cleaning issues and make year over year usage progressively more difficult. The stainless steel hitch from TORKLIFT eliminates that problem. I’d expect a long serviceable life from this hitch. It was also competitively priced.

Shipment was fast; arriving in Illinois in just a few days. Packaging was secure; nothing was damaged or missing.

Installation presented no issues, and was finished in just a few hours. I did however go with the HYUNDAI OEM wiring harness, as it was essentially a plug and play install to the prewired socket already present in the trunk area; making for a quick and easy process.

All in all, I couldn’t be more pleased with the performance and looks of this hitch; and the support and service from TORKLIFT. I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Good product challenging install
Review by
Complete install took probably 5 hours, and involved a lot of YouTube review as well as the paper instructions which skip steps. Youtube if you watched very carefully captured the sequence. Final installation ground clearance and fit was excellent. The pin hole is about 1/2" different than 3 other torklift hitches moving the hitch back slightly and the receiver dimensions very slightly larger. Doing it again would probably take 2 hours. Taking the first half of the bumper off was most challenging initially. You have to push forward and outward from the bottom....Excellent product.

Best High Clearance Option By Far
Review by
I recently had the pleasure of having a hidden hitch installed by EcoHitch at Torklift Central, and I couldn't be more delighted with the entire experience.

From the moment I contacted Torklift Central to inquire about their services, I was met with exceptional customer service. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to assist me in finding the right hitch for my vehicle. They took the time to answer all of my questions and provided me with a detailed explanation of the installation process.

When I arrived for my appointment, the team at Torklift Central was ready to get to work. The installation technicians were professional and highly skilled. They worked efficiently to install the hidden hitch, ensuring that it was securely attached to my vehicle. What truly impressed me was how they managed to install the hitch in such a way that it allowed for maintaining a high clearance in the departure angle. This was crucial for my needs, and they executed it perfectly.

Not only did Torklift Central provide top-notch installation services, but they also made sure that the hitch was concealed perfectly, maintaining the sleek and clean look of my vehicle. The hidden hitch by EcoHitch was seamlessly integrated, and it exceeded my expectations in terms of functionality and aesthetics.

Throughout the entire process, Torklift Central demonstrated a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. They were transparent about pricing, and there were no hidden fees or surprises. The level of professionalism and expertise they exhibited was truly outstanding.

I now have a reliable hidden hitch installed by EcoHitch, thanks to the exceptional team at Torklift Central. I can confidently recommend their services to anyone in need of hitch installation or related services. They have earned my trust and gratitude, and I am extremely satisfied with the result.

Thank you, Torklift Central, for your exceptional service and for making the process of getting a hidden hitch installed so smooth and enjoyable!

Excellent fit, time consuming but doable install
Review by
Looks and functions great once installed. Videos in the other posts are very helpful for the install. I did it myself without removing the bumper. Budget 3+ hours, faster if you had another set of hands for some key pieces. Also, would recommend a dremel or similar to make the bumper cuts cleanly. Highly recommended—sits tight to the bumper, no range impact, little to no ground clearance impact.

Self installed

Here's the gist: this hitch is excellent. It integrates very well into the bumper, so long as you make the cut correctly (measure twice, cut once!). I found the paper instructions OK, but they definitely missed some details. The following youtube video was incredibly helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z23AbzBngLU. Per their notes, you will definitely break some plastic clips, but didn't seem to make a difference when the bumper is reinstalled.

I would also recommend doing with a friend, though it can be done solo in probably 2.5-3 hours. With a friend, 1.5 hours should do.

God Quality Product, Instructions Lacking
Review by
This is a very high quality item. Seems to me that it'll last a good long time. My only issue is the instructions missed some key steps on how to remove the rear bumper cover for installation. Luckily I had the official Hyundai instructions on removing the bumper available. I made a video documenting the installation process. https://youtu.be/z23AbzBngLU
