Specs:
The EcoHitch Hidden front-mount trailer hitch is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame. No drilling or welding is required. Once the hitch is installed, only the receiver will be visible. This means that your vehicle can maintain its stylish, from-the-factory look, and you won't have to do any major modifications to its body or frame.
This EcoHitch trailer hitch is tested for durability and sturdiness. Using Finite Elemental Analysis (FEA), individual points of stress on the hitch can be detected and remedied. Designers can accurately test the hitch to ensure that it will meet or exceed SAE J684 standards. The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is carefully researched and strength tested for a durable, high-quality hitch that can resist damage while on the road.

Hitch looks great and is well concealed behind the front bumper. The only problem I encountered was that there was a bracket welded to each frame member that wasn’t identified in the instructions. I was given the manufacturer’s phone number and they were puzzled as well. They had never encountered this feature on a 2020 F150. They took my vin # so they could research the problem. My only way out was to cut away a portion of this bracket on both left and right frame members. Then the installation went per the instructions. I was able to install using a floor jack but like the instructions say, it’s not really a one man job.
Instructions were good, but the video was easier to follow. Mounted on a 2024 F-150 Ecoboost. The side mounts went on easily, but it does take two people to get the hitch into place and all the bolts aligned at the same time. Nice and clean look and a much higher mounting than the competitors.
Very happy with my first year of use of the front EcoHitch. It makes maneuvering a 23' boat & trailer so much easier, especially from our narrow street into our narrow driveway. Easy-peasy to put the trailer right where you need it in tight places with the front hitch...and yes, I know and enjoy backing trailers up with the traditional rear hitch, too.
On the ecoboost you need to remove the support bracket. Installation would be much easier if the bolts were a half inch longer. I ended up having to context one side plate bolt it up and then add the other side plate. Otherwise works well and sits up nice and tight.
Nicely built, easy to install, good di rections

Hitch was easy to install. Good quality and well fabricated.
This is well made. I had it installed by a local auto shop and they did not have any problems. Looks good on my truck. I have not used it yet but do not anticipate any problems.
Awesome hitch. Very nice setup. Happy happy happy!
