Worth the price perfect in every way. 3442775

Directions were poor. Could not be assembled as per the instructions. Parts did not fit. Had to drill out holes in car frame for backing plates to slide into. Nice hitch when installed. Hitch fits nicely under bumper plastic and completely hidden when not in use. Also, does not reduce off-road departure angle like most other hitches. Good product, expect additional time an effort for installation.3261448

Just installed the hitch this morning. Very happy with it. Went right in without droping the muffler.3356378

Really like the hitch, easy install. Only issue is I’m not a fan of the star washer supplied. Seems to me a carriage bolt with a square shoulder would have been a better choice to stop the bolt from spinning.3373923

Fits perfectly. I think an improvement would be to have bolt keepers to prevent the bolts from being pushed up into the frame while trying to align the hitch into place. I didn’t have that problem, but it was a bit of a worry.3345889

So easy a caveman can do it! The only challenges was, pushing the hitch into position, without pushing the mounting bolts back into the frame. I recommend a plastic washer, to prevent the bolts from going back into the cavity of the frame. Looks amazing and definitely recommend this product!3319796

Fast shipping. Easy installation. Very happy.3418192

It’s great but one thing I don’t like everything is so well built and fits perfect. But the bolt design kinda sucks. All the other hitches I have put on Subaru’s have had carage style bolts with square shanks and square plates. These just have a star washer inside which even using an impact to get them initially tight didn’t work very good. I couldn’t get them to torque they just spun. So I just hit it with my 3/8 impact and then used a double nut to keep it from backing off. I put a wrench on it and it is tight now. Or I sure hope it is. I’ll be testing it with lighter things before I tow anything. But it looks amazing fits amazing and it’s probably the nicest coolest hitch design I’ve installed. I am a mechanic of 25 years now so I’m not a rookie3319365

While the hitch was expensive, it’s exactly what I was looking for. Love the removable receiver for a stealth appearance. The install was not to bad with the help of a floor jack to hold the hitch in place will I tighten it.. I chose not to lower the exhaust. There is enough room to get the hitch in place for final installation. Like others have shared, be careful not to push any of bolts back up into frame.I used duct tape to hold the bolts in place and removed it once the nut was installed.3391128

Product is good quality. No need to lower the muffler as there is plenty of clearance with two people raising the hitch into place. As others have said the star washer design is poor and makes it difficult to get the recommended torque. Carriage bolt design would be much better.3414441

This hitch should be the only option for those with off-road vehicles who are concerned about ground clearance.3504073

Ecohitch was as a great purchase. Fits and looks as described Simple to install on a Subaru crosstrek. Though it was shipped in a box with no packaging. It came dinged and scratched up. I had to clean and paint a new hitch. O well.3470355

This hitch is very well made. Love how it is hidden when not in use.
I only have one complaint, the star washer that’s used to keep the bolt from spinning when tightening needs to be reevaluated. I had one bolt that started spinning prior to reaching torque. If not for that I would have given it 5 stars.3507737

So far so good. The hitch arrived Monday and today was installed by the local hitch shop. It took them a half hour to install and if looks great. I put my bike rack on it and it works perfect.3231358

Still working great. I use it for my bike rack.

Looks great, works great. My only gripe is what others have said, the star washer is a poor choice for preventing the bolt from rotating when attempting to torque the nut.3604070

Love this hitch. We can put it on for our bikes, but take it off when we go off roading so we don’t bottom out.3603323

I love the way the hitch is hidden, I ended up working around the exhaust and was able to get it in without removing it and just had to use some extenders on my wrench. As others have mentioned, I could not get the bolts on two of the four to be fully to torque even with an impact wrench at full speed. The impact wrench did get the first two bolts to stop spinning but without that I don't think any of the four would be able to be fully torqued with just hand tools. I think there is some work to be done to ensure it doesn't spin. If not for that it would definitely be 5 stars3551383

The product was is grate the fit was spot on easy to install the only problem was the delivery when I received my package the box was torn and my hitch was all scratched with one side of it was chaved of pretty good from it being dragged around other than that the fit was grate3638922

Definitely helps to have two people, but can be a one-man job with the help of a floor jack. There’s no need to drop or lower the exhaust at all, you can easily install it with the exhaust in place. The fish wire makes it super easy to install the hardware in the frame. I do NOT like the star washers it comes with. I think this design needs to be rethought. Maybe a carriage bolt and a square hole in the metal reinforcement washers. I wasn’t able to get one of the bolts to torque down because the star washers don’t bite enough for the bolt not to spin. Overall, great fit and I’m happy.3567277

Hitch works great, can use tow chain brackets with locking cable to secure bike.3247829

This hitch has worked great. Like being able to easily remove receiver to provide more ground clearance. Would definitely recommend this hitch which did not require any drilling or removal of bodywork!

The hitch is a perfect fit on my Subaru Crostrek. I had a little trouble getting one of the bolts to tighten. It kept slipping and I know for a fact that I had all of the washers installed in the correct order. Other than that I am pleased with fit and function.3423665

I am well pleased with this hitch after a year. I have used it numerous times to pull my utility trailer. I have loaded it with a little over 2500lbs, and both the Crosstrek Wilderness and the hitch preformed nicely.
