EcoHitch - Hidden:
All EcoHitch models are precision manufactured to have hidden crosstubes when installed. The only part of the hitch that is ever visible is the receiver and has a higher level of ground clearance than most hitches available.

 

*WARNING* Your vehicle may have a lower tow rating than this trailer hitch. If your vehicle's tow rating is less than the rated towing capacity on your Torklift Central trailer hitch, your trailer hitch capacity is limited to your vehicle's factory rated towing capacity.

***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.

Easy installation with clear instructions.

Well placed in the bumper cover for good looks. Been using with a bike rack for a year with no issues.

Works great. Easy to install. Quality construction. Hidden Hitch is the way to go. 5 stars.
Review by
Highly recommend. It was the only 2” hitch I could find for my Golf. The hitch sits high above the ground line so my bike rack does not scrape.
Quality
The hitch is good and works as advertised
Review by
The hitch is good and works as advertised but I was a little disappointed that the hitch was limited to 2000 lbs tow weight when the same cars in Europe have a larger tow capacity. After investigating more, I learned why this hitch is rated for a lower weight even though it's a class III hitch. This hitch mounts to the 7 bolt holes for the crumple zone bumper attached to the body of the car. With European hitches for the same car, they do not mount to the 7 bolt holes in the body, instead they mount via a pair of arms that extend into the subframe of the vehicle.

Regardless, works as advertised and fits it great!
Quality
The hitch was reasonably easier to install on my 2017 VW Golf Alltrack.
Review by
It has held up to a years worth of use, including some offroading sessions with the rack dragging through the dirt. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

My son purchased this hitch for his 2015 Gulf Sportwagen TDI
Review by
My son purchased this hitch for his 2015 Gulf Sportwagen TDI so he can transport his 2 mountain bikes. I have extensive automotive mechanical experience and the installation was painless. We chose this hitch because the mounting was hidden and higher than most others giving more clearance for the bike rack.
Quality
Great fit, and function.
Review by
I use this for our bike rack and it works great! Glad we could find the 2" receiver. The hitch was as described to install and looks great!
Quality
The installation went without a hitch on my 2015 VW Sportswagen.
Review by
The most difficult part was removing the bumper without break the plastic clips but with a little patience it was accomplished.

I plan to use this with my bicycle hitch mount 1up rack and look forward to the convenience of just racking the bikes and going.
Quality
This is a good hitch, but pricey.
Review by
It is the only hitch I could find on an online search that has a 2-inch receiver and that's why I went with it.
I installed it myself with no assistant; the included instructions were very helpful. It took two hours. Bumper and taillights must be completely removed. The taillights are easy to remove: no tools needed. The bumper is harder, just go slow and don't force anything. Jacking the rear of the car was helpful. I did not have to remove the rear tires. There is just enough room to use a torc bit turned by a small wrench; if you leave the tires on, there is not enough room to use a regular screw driver on the wheel well screws. Hitch looks great on the car.
Quality
Super solid hitch
Review by
Super solid hitch, use it with a rocky mounts 2 bike rack and it's been perfect, no flex at all like I've seen with 1 1/4" hitch/racks. Definitely worth the price difference. The coating is also very robust, it hasn't chipped or faded and looks brand new a year after installing (in AZ harsh summers). Can't recommend enough.
