Features to know about
Keep Your Vehicle’s Original Look: Hidden Cross Tube Stays Out of Sight
This hitch mounts behind the rear bumper so only the 2" x 2" receiver shows underneath. The concealed cross tube keeps everything tucked away, giving the rear end a clean, from-the-factory finish instead of a bulky add-on look. It blends in nicely while still being ready to tow or carry extra gear when you need it.
Built Strong and Light: Alloy Construction with 2,000 lbs GTW and 300 lbs TW
The aluminum and steel alloy design gives you the strength to handle up to 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 300 lbs tongue weight without adding unnecessary bulk. The mix of aerospace-grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel makes the hitch tough enough for frequent use while keeping weight down. The black powder coat finish adds long-term rust resistance for driving in all weather conditions.
Install It Yourself Without Drilling or Welding
The bolt-on design lines up with existing attachment points so you don’t need to drill or weld anything. Most folks can handle the install with common tools in a driveway or garage. Once it’s mounted, it stays solid under load thanks to tight alignment and strong hardware torque specs.
Dependable for Everyday Use: Tested to SAE J684 Standards
Each hitch goes through Finite Elemental Analysis testing to pinpoint stress points before it ever reaches production. That means it’s built to meet or exceed SAE J684 towing safety regulations. You get a hitch that holds up for years of towing small trailers or carrying racks without worrying about flex or fatigue on the road.

I installed this on my 2007 Toyota Prius. It is a solid build and much sturdier than my old 1 1/4 receiver, which I replaced. I will be transporting an E-bike and a mountain bike cross-country, and I need a setup that would handle the stress and extra weight.

Everything about etrailer is fantastic. The easy-to-use website, plenty of options, great prices and super fast shipping! Great installation instructions, too!
This is my second hitch purchase from etrailer and both experiences have been great!

In terms of difficulty, it's a very tight fit where the spare tire wheel well butts up against the end of the hitch. I had the rear tires up on ramps and used a jack to hold the hitch in place. Be aware of the limitations of cars with suspensions that are 15-20 years old as well. I was able to carry a 250cc dualsport 400 miles home, but I would limit yourself to much lighter dirt bikes if you plan to use a carrier. To be clear the carrier was my choice, and the hitch held up well. All in all, it worked well and appears to be one of the few options if you want a class II hitch.

Outstanding customer service & Product! etrailer does a great job of communicating throughout the process. I was able to track the progress from build to shipping easily online. My hitch shipped and arrived exactly when they said it would. Great online installations videos for my specific make/model!

The hitch is fantastic but many people may find it easiest to take it to someone with the proper tools. If you are frustrated easily please take it to a shop. I live in the northeast and had a little bit of difficulty getting the old bolts out. Yay salt. I am mechanically inclined and also have proper tools. Installation a success. I purchased a motorcycle carrier from [online] which pairs perfectly with this 300 pound tongue weight receiver. no regerts.

This hitch installed pretty easily, and essentially no vehicle modifications were needed. When installed, it sits flush with the bumper and you can only see the square hole. The whole unit tucks behind the bumper, which looks way nicer. I also had a couple questions regarding a locking hitch pin and customer service was very helpful. Thanks all for the great service and product!

I buy from no one else. My first hitch assembly was for my old 2008 Prius. I got into ATVs during that time and I only had that Prius, and it worked flawlessly. I, however, put that poor car through hell, lol, and eventually the engine gave up on me, so I purchased a 2012 Lexus RX450h AWD, to handle my newly acquired outdoor hobby. I got a hitch assemble again from etrailer for sais Lexus, and it has worked flawlessly as well. Thank you etrailer for making affordable and durable hitches and wire hardnesses.

Had this professionally installed, went on with no problems and no need to cut/modify any part of the car, and has been operating with no problems ever since. Was told it has a “.5” weight rating so the 300-lb max tongue weight is good to twice that (e.g. if you hit a dip or pothole). Am using a 4-bike North Shore Rack with no issues, although overall loading of the poor little Prius’s suspension has to be watched.

The hitch was perfect. It is very high quality and heavy duty. I had a local mechnic install it for me and it fits and lines up with the can and bumper much mor cleanly than I was even hoping. Since purchsaing this hitch I have purchased another that was just as good. Easy to orer on line and exceeded expecations.

I really love that it doesn't subtract from the ground clearance. It may look like it does when you look from above, but when you look at if from ground level, it doesn't come close to extending beyond what the muffler does.

Fantastic! This hitch is hardly noticeable from behind and it doesn’t subtract from the clearance. I use it mainly to hook up my bike rack, but the Prius can tow a small trailer.

I was able to follow the instructions and self install. YES it did require every step to be followed correctly. YES it did require some "tugging" of the bottom bumper fascia to slip up into place. A 5 gallon bucket came in handy to support it while getting it into place. Excellent for a Prius for light towing or in my case ... a bicycle rack!

See what our Experts say about this EcoHitch Trailer Hitch
- Comparing Trailer Hitch Options for Carrying 2 Bike Rack on a 2006 Toyota PriusBetweeen the Curt # C11468 and Draw-Tite # 24808 for your 2006 Toyota Prius, I recommend the Curt simply because we have found that they tend to have better welds and a thicker powder coat than other options on the market. All of this translates into a more durable hitch that you can rely on. While you can use an adapter like the Brophy # HTAD to carry a bike rack with a 2" shank, we typically advise against this for a few reasons. First of all it's more connection points so there are...
view full answer... - 2 Inch Trailer Hitch that Fits 2009 Toyota PriusHey Mike, so we have a 2 inch hitch that does fit your 2009 Toyota Prius with the EcoHitch part # 306-X7196 but the Curt you mentioned for sure does not fit. Hitch fits are very specific and if there was any possible carryover between two models the manufacturers would have it listed for all of them.
view full answer... - Can The Curt 2-Bike Platform Rack Hold A 60lb E-Bike And 45lb Mountain BikeHi Lynne, The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack # C18085 would not be able to handle the weight of your 60lb e-bike. If you don't have fenders then you could switch to a wheel mount design. If you do have fenders then you'll just need to pick up a bar adapter # HRBA-PRO since you have a step-thru frame. Hitch classes will tell you the receiver tube opening size and typical capacity range. When it comes to certain bike racks, especially ones hauling heavy e-bikes, certain class requirements are...
view full answer... - Is there a 2" Hitch for a 2008 Toyota Prius?Yes, there is! To add a 2" hitch to your 2008 Toyota Prius, I recommend the EcoHitch item # 306-X7196. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Prius with included hardware. This is the only 2" available for your vehicle. It has a 300 lbs maximum tongue weight so plenty of capacity for your bike rack. If you ever plan on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56147 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
view full answer... - Weight of EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch For 2008 Toyota PriusThe EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7196 that fits your 2008 Toyota Prius weighs 30 lbs. This is a superb option for a hitch because this is the only hitch for your Prius which has a 2 inch receiver, and it's tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs is the highest available for your Prius.. This is really important because when using it for accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers, a 2 inch receiver is going to have a much wider range of higher-quality options to choose...
view full answer... - Installation if EcoHitch 306-X7196 on 2008 Toyota PriusI don't have any recommended installers, but any trusted mechanic should be able to complete the installation for you without too much difficulty. If you're moderately handy, you might even be able to complete the install yourself, as the installation isn't too complicated. EcoHitch installs usually require removing the bumper fascia and sometimes the bumper beam itself, but this installation is much more simple. The most difficult portion of the EcoHitch # 306-X7196 installation is temporarily...
view full answer... - Where Can I Get my EcoHitch InstalledIf you're not comfortable installing the EcoHitch # 306-X7196 yourself on your 2008 Toyota Prius, your best bet would be to find an RV dealer with a service department; a body shop might also be able to perform this service for you but RV shops typically are a bit more well versed in the installation of hitches. The EcoHitch is a great choice for your 2008 Prius and the 2" receiver is ideal for a\your Kuat bike rack.
view full answer... - Bolt Hole Spacing of EcoHitch 306-X7196The mounting hole dimensions are 38.06 inches bolt center to bolt center across, and on each mounting flange, the bolt holes are spaced 3 inches apart center to center as shown in the provided photo. None of our hitch vendors provide CAD drawings, as they're considered proprietary information.

- Why Is Trailer Hitch Rated for More Weight Than Vehicle It's a good question and one we get from time to time. The fact is that trailer hitches are rated independently of the vehicle, which just means that something like the EcoHitch Hidden Hitch # 306-X7196 that you referenced has a 300 pound tongue weight capacity for the hitch itself. As with any aftermarket component, you'll always still be limited by the setup's weakest component, which in this case would certainly be the Prius it's installed on. The owner's manual is always the best place...
view full answer... - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver Class Rating For a 2008 Toyota PriusThe EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7196 for your 2008 Toyota Prius doesn't use a traditional class rating system like other receivers since it does use a 2" receiver that does not carry the minimum weight capacities that would give it a class III rating. The best way to describe the receiver is a 2" receiver with a class II weight rating. The maximum allowed tongue weight of the receiver is 300lbs and you will want to verify with your Toyota dealer as to the maximum weight...
view full answer... - How To Carry 70 Lb E-Bike on 2005 Toyota Prius with 1-1/4" HitchI do have option for you but this is too much weight for that size hitch on this vehicle. Therefore you can either reduce the weight of the bike to 66 lbs by removing the battery so you can use the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # Y96FR or you will be forced to change out the hitch to a 2", the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7196. The more cost effective route is the OnRamp but the better long term route is the EcoHitch.
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for Two 70 lb E-Bikes on 2007 Toyota PriusThe trailer hitches that fit your 2007 Toyota Prius are either the Class I Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24808 with a 1-1/4" receiver or the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7196 which has a 2" receiver. Hopefully you have the latter, because the only bike rack that will allow you to carry a pair of 70 lb bikes only fits a Class II 1-1/4" hitch or a 2" hitch, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 2-Electric Bike Rack # HLY74FR. This rack has an 80 lb per-bike capacity...
view full answer... - Complete Towing Setup For A 2004 Toyota Prius Yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7196 that you mentioned will fit a 2004-2009 Toyota Prius. This trailer hitch has a 2" receiver opening, a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 2,000-lbs, a maximum tongue weight of 300-lbs, and is made proudly in the United States. Additionally, you are going to need a wiring harness. I recommend checking out the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141854. This wiring harness...
view full answer... - Installation Troubleshooting for Squeaking EcoHitch on 2005 Toyota PriusThe EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7196 should be torqued to 40 ft lbs. The hitch receiver itself normally doesn't squeak, and lubricating the hardware will not help. Normally you would do the opposite and add lock-tite thread locker like # LT37420. I'll send you the entire installation instruction link.

- Will The EcoHitch 306-X7196 Fit A 2004 To 2009 Toyota Prius?The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7196 is designed to fit the 2004 to 2009 Toyota Prius. This is rated to 2,000 pounds towing and 300 pounds of tongue weight, but I highly recommend checking your owner's manual for your Prius' max capacities. This hitch will most likely be rated higher than your vehicle and you should always load the hitch to the lowest rated component, lest there be a failure.
view full answer... - Why Isn't There a Cutout In the EcoHitch for a 2005 Toyota Prius for ExhaustThe EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7196 is a great option for a 2005 Toyota Prius. It will sit up above the exhaust so there isn't a need for a cutout in the cross tube like the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24808. If you look closely, the brackets are much shorter on the EcoHitch as well as the receiver tube being under the crosstube as opposed to the Draw-Tit which has much longer brackets and the receiver tube is attached to the crosstube.
view full answer... - Trouble Installing Bent Trailer Hitch on Toyota Prius It sounds like you are having some trouble mounting the EcoHitch # 306-X7196 on your 2007 Toyota Prius. I completely understand your frustration but I can assure you that this particular model hitch does fit your vehicle, it's just that the brackets most likely flexed a bit during shipping. I realize this sounds a bit odd, and obviously using some tools to bend back a brand new item you just received isn't the most welcomed item to have to add to your to-do list, but the flex the hitch...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes on a 2004 Toyota PriusFor a trailer hitch to use with an e-bike rack I recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7196 for your 2004 Toyota Prius. This is a 2" trailer hitch receiver with a 300 lb tongue weight capacity, which opens up a LOT more options to choose from when it comes to a bike rack. For a bike rack that has a high enough capacity to hold 2 E-bikes weighing up to 60 pounds each you can use the Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F, Kuat NV 2.0, # NV22G, or the Thule EasyFold # TH903202. All of these racks are rated...
view full answer... - Anti Rattle Hitch Lock that Fits Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110Since the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18110 uses a threaded hitch pin you'd need to use a threaded hitch lock like the SportRack part # SR0901 which we know works with the Curt racks. The other options you mentioned are for hitch accessories that have hollow shanks and would not work. This setup would work great in the EcoHitch part # 306-X7196 as well.
view full answer... - Lightest Hitch for my 2009 Toyota PriusOf the two hitches for your 2009 Toyota Prius the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11468 is a couple of pounds lighter than the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7196. It would also be my choice because it will offer a slightly easier installation. If you need trailer wiring use the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118505 I have linked an installation video for you of the Curt hitch and the Tekonsha wiring.
view full answer... - Will The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Work With A 2009 Toyota Prius Hauling A Kuat Bike Rack?Yes it's absolutely acceptable to use the: -EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7196 with your 2009 Toyota Prius with a Kaut bike rack like # B202-2. This hitch has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000-lbs and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200-lbs, however you'll want to consult your owners manual for your vehicles towing capacity and ensure you are using the lowest capacity between the hitch and your vehicle.
