Hidden Design for a Clean, Factory Look

The EcoHitch Stealth trailer hitch is designed to be completely out of sight when you're not towing. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame, behind your rear bumper. No drilling or welding is required. Once installed, the cross tube will be completely concealed and only the receiver will be visible beneath your bumper. But unlike other hitches with hidden cross tubes, the Stealth goes one further. You can remove the receiver portion of the hitch for a completely out-of-sight setup. To mount the receiver, just insert it up into the access port that is built into the cross tube. Secure the receiver to the hitch with the supplied bolt and washers. When you're done towing, just remove the receiver portion to return your vehicle to its clean, factory appearance.


Eco-Friendly Material

With a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, each EcoHitch is made of a strong metal alloy that will stand the test of time. The lightweight alloy is composed of recycled materials. 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 sturdy trailer hitch while also helping the environment.


Rigorous Strength Testing Ensures Durability

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 Stealth trailer hitch is carefully researched and strength tested for a durable, high-quality hitch that can resist damage while on the road.

The Mercedes GLS install is not for the feint of heart. Thankful for the YouTube video that showed where all the clips and screws were. Did the trailer light conversion kit too. I was dreading putting the bumper/facia back on and was surprised and pleased that it snapped back into place easier than it came off.

  • 2023 Mercedes-Benz E450 4MATIC Fitment for Carrying a Bike Rack
    Hey Andy, thanks for reaching out! The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH37MR fits older models of a Mercedes-Benz but for your 2023 Mercedes-Benz E450 4MATIC we have the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver# EH55SR which is the EcoHitch version of the Stealth Hitches you're looking at. This is a perfect solution for being able to carry a bike rack around, but it also has that removable hitch receiver for a clean factory look when you aren't hauling bikes around. If you don't...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE AMG 53 Coupe
    Hey Larry! I'm sorry to say the EcoHitch # EH55SR is not a fit for the AMG 53 Coupe models. The only compatible hitch is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH99MR. This also has a removable receiver and is designed to handle accessories up to 600 lbs. If you are planning on towing you need the # SH62TR which includes the towing kit.

  • 7-Way Wiring Upgrade For A 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS450
    Hi Bogun! To get your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 set up with a 7-way, you will need to start with a 4-flat. For that, you will need the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. This is a hardwire kit, but it will get you most of the way there. Next, you will need the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 12 Gauge Wires # ETBC7L. This will piggyback off that 4-flat and will get you a working 7-way. Were you wanting this for...

  • Installation Instructions for EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2024 Mercedes GLS450
    Hi Jon; a lot of the EcoHitch instructions aren't listed online so I will have to send you the instructions for the # EH55SR in a separate email. Since this is the style that removes and replaces the bumper cross member it is pretty extensive, but it's definitely doable if you don't want to pay someone to install it.

  • Trailer Hitch that Fits 2021 Mercedes GLS450
    Hey George, for your 2021 Mercedes GLS we only have an EcoHitch part # EH55SR which is a really cool design but I would say that it looks like it has more brackets and gussets than similar Curt hitches. It also really cool that the hitch opening is removable for a totally invisible look. Do you need wiring too? What will you be doing with the hitch?

  • Availability Of Trailer Hitch For 2022 Mercedes Benz GLS63 AMG
    Hello Brian, thanks for reaching out. Sadly, the Stealth Hitch # EH55SR will not fit the 2022 Mercedes Benz GLS63 AMG. This hitch is only confirmed for the GLS450 model. At this time, Stealth Hitch does not make anything for the 2022 GLS63 AMG. If you need to carry cargo, the only option would be to have a welder fabricate a custom hitch for you, or to use a roof rack and roof mounted cargo carrier. What were you needing to use the hitch for?

  • How Difficult To Install EcoHitch EH55SR On 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 SUV?
    Hey Andy, thanks for reaching out. The EcoHitch # EH55SR is correct for the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 SUV. The installation is a bit more complicated than most other trailer hitches. There is no drilling required but you do have to completely remove the bumper to install the hitch. You also need to permanently remove the impact structure under the bumper. The hitch replaces the impact structure. There will also be some trimming of the bumper fascia required. We do have an install video...

  • Avaiablity Of Installation Instructions For The Eco Hitch EH55SR
    Hello John. I do have some info that will be helpful, but it looks like Eco Hitch does not have their instruction for the # EH55SR hitch available online yet. What we do have is detailed instruction for the Stealth Hitch # SH49MR, which is very similar to the Eco Hitch. It is made to fit the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE, and it installs in the same location. I have linked these instructions for your below. Please do give it a read. It should give you a good enough idea of the installation process....
