***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
One year later and still going strong. I’ve towed and hauled all sorts of stuff behind this car and although the mileage is awful mid 20s with two bikes the hitch works amazing and I love that you don’t see it when you’re not using it. The looks you get launching a boat with a volt are priceless.
My license plate bracket was missing. they found it after I contacted customer support and they shipped it out that evening.
So all in all 2 weeks to get the order to me. (life is what it is people)
The hardest step for me was removing the bumper cover around the tail lamps.
(I admit to breaking a horizontal tab on each side of the cover, while removing it)
Technical note, my 2011 does not have the extra harness faster that must be removed.
I watched the etrailer installation video and that was helpful on a few points.
My car has the backup camera.This means that I had additional wire harnesses coming down the center behind my license plate mount.
I addressed this by using zip tie straps to re-align the harnesses and drilling a couple of holes into the impact bar on the bumper cover to attach to.
See my picture for my routing details.
I also installed safety cables similar as to what is shown in the e trailer installation video.
I ordered the 10 inch version and they successfully come up over the top from behind the hitch bar so that if they ever get used in an emergency, my rear cover will avoid as much damage as possible.
I found that drilling the pilot holes for the receiver access area was best done off the car to avoid any unseen wire harnesses.
I am happy with the end result and it looks good.
the stock license plate lights barely light up my rear plate, so I am off to engineer a different solution for my car's plate. What is included works sufficiently for a plug and play option as long as you do not have a back up camera. My back up camera is what remains in the way...
I plan to use this to haul my 4x8 folding trailer while taking kiddos to and from college.
This setup cost less than one round trip worth of fuel for my 09 suburban, with travel to the university.
it has been a year and no issues. I replaced the included License Plate kit with a 12 inch Stainless Steal Piano hinge and a cheap plastic License plate mounting bracket. this setup clears the Backup Camera and looks very much like it was OEM. I used some T-Nuts with the prongs to attach the Hinge to the Bumper cover. drilled a hole first and T-Nut went in from behind the cover to cinch it to the plastic. anyway no complaints from me and it has been a great success. Cheers!!
