Video Transcript for Review of EcoHitch Front Receiver Hitch - North Hitch Hidden Front Mount 2 Inch Receiver - EH25HR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this EcoHitch North Hitch Custom Fit Hidden Front Mount Two Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver. Now this is designed to fit your 2020 and newer Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTD. This is intended for diesel models only. So if you're looking for the front mounted hitch that'll work with your gas powered Silverado, on your screen, I am including the model number for that particular hitch. You can just take that model number and pop it in the search field or our website and that will take you to the front mounted hitch that's designed for your gas model truck.

It's always a great idea to go through our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com just to confirm the fit. All you have to do is simply add the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something else that will work for you. So this two inch front mounted trailer hitch receiver is going to give you an attachment point for your hitch mounted accessories such as your winch, your spare tire carrier, your snowplow, cargo carrier, and a whole lot more. With this hitch, you're gonna be able to move your trailer by driving forward. All you have to do is hook your trailer up to this front mounted hitch and you can just drive it forward and park it wherever you want it instead of blindly trying to back your trailer up using your rear mounted hitch.

Now this does have a line pull of 10,000 pounds. The vertical load or tongue weight is 1000 pounds and the gross trailer weight is 10,000 pounds. Now this does feature a hidden cross tube that's going to give you a clean from the factory look for your truck. This is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The sleek design is going to ensure that you maintain optimal airflow and ground clearance and this is going to help preserve the integrity and performance of your truck.

Now this hitch's cross tube is going to bolt onto your truck's frame and what's great about this installation is no drilling or welding is required. It does include a complete hardware kit with the installation instructions that I have right here. So it's gonna guide you through that installation process. And once this hitch is installed, only the receiver is going to be visible. This means that your truck can maintain a stylish from the factory look and you won't have to do any major modifications to your truck's body or frame.

Now with a combination of aerospace grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, this EcoHitch is made of a strong metal alloy that will withstand the test of time. The lightweight alloy is composed of recycled materials. As you might know, traditional steel hitch manufacturing can use coal or oil, which can contribute to harmful gas emissions. The EcoHitch's recycled materials limit the carbon footprint during manufacturing, so you get a sturdier trailer hitch while also helping the environment. This is powder coated for durability. The high impact powder coat finish is going to ensure longevity. Now some customers do request the measurement from the cross tube to the end of the receiver. So lemme see if I can move this at just a slight angle here to give you that measurement so you can see. So, as you can see, from the front of the receiver to the end of our tube, we're sitting there right at about a foot long. The pinhole diameter, of course, is five eighths of an inch and the EcoHitch trailer hitches are tested for durability and strength. So using a finite elemental analysis, also known as FEA, individual points of strength on the hitch can be detected and remedied. So designers can accurately test the hitch to ensure its strength and durability and that it meets or exceeds J684 standards. Also with the purchase of this hitch, you will receive lifetime support from us here at etrailer.com. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together has been helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
