You don’t have to give up a sleek rear profile just to add hauling power. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver tucks the cross tube behind the bumper so only the 2" x 2" receiver shows underneath. This keeps things looking tidy and close to OEM, even when you’ve got a rack or trailer hooked up. No drilling or welding is needed either—the hitch bolts on using the included hardware for a clean, straightforward install.
Built for light to moderate towing, this custom-fit hitch is rated for 2,500 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 375 lbs maximum tongue weight. That’s plenty for small trailers, cargo carriers, or multi-bike racks. Whether it’s a camping trip or weekend project, this Class III hitch gives you the stability and capacity you need without added bulk or complicated setups.
The hitch body uses a combination of aluminum, steel, and stainless steel in a sturdy alloy made from recycled materials. This mix delivers strength without unnecessary weight and helps keep manufacturing more eco-friendly. The black powder coat finish adds lasting rust protection so the hitch keeps its look and integrity over time, even through wet weather and road grime.
With its 2" receiver opening, the EcoHitch works with common racks, trays, ball mounts, and cargo carriers right out of the box—no adapters required. It’s tested to meet SAE J684 towing safety regulations, so it’s ready for real-world use. Whether you’re hauling gear to work or heading out for a ride, this hitch is built to handle everyday jobs with a hidden style that fits right in.

Ratings & Reviews
Product is sturdy and very well hidden as advertised. Packing in box was poor, with metal ends sticking out on both sides, though there was no damage.
quick deliver as promised by the agent.
The hitch arrived promptly. I had it installed by professionals who said it fit perfectly and they ran into no problems installing. I found it more expensive than expected. I don’t really think the cost was justified. Other than that I look forward to putting it to use.
This is the 4th hitch I have ordered from this company. They are the BEST. Fast delivery, good prices and great customer support.
fast service and a good price and the best product.
This rocks, but the install has some slight issues on a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 LTD. But other than that this works really well.
Well made and a good fit on my '26 Ioniq 5. Tough install mainly due to the bumper cover re-install. Would purchase and self-install again.
GREAT Hitch: VERY challenging install.
The hitch is very well designed and manufactured. I really like that's it's stainless-steel so it doesn't rust. It looks great and is barely noticeable on my 2025 Ioniq 5. It bolts directly to the frame. However, getting to the frame is a BIG task. The problem is not with the hitch design; it is a function of how the Ioniq 5 is put together. The hitch manufacturer provides installation instructions and has a video on their company website showing the installation on a 2025 Ioniq 5. They also provide great customer support which was critical in me getting this hitch installed. (etrailer has no installation experience or videos on this hitch yet).
To install the hitch, the entire rear bumper assembly has to be removed. This requires removing wheel well trim and taillights, unclipping the rear bumper assembly from the quarter panels (This was by far the most difficult task), unplugging some electrical connections, removing a frame cross-member, and finally, bolting the hitch to the frame. The lower bumper assembly has to have a 2-3/4" x 4-1/2" notch cut out of it to accommodate the hitch receiver before you reassemble everything.
I'm pretty skilled and experienced in removing body panels and have a number of tools that are designed for this purpose, but this was by far the most challenging project I've encountered. Brute force can cause you to break clips that hold the panels together, so I proceeded with great caution and relied heavily on help from Matt/customer support from the hitch manufacturer.
My advice is to have the hitch professionally installed. If you are adventurous and want to install it yourself, first watch the video on the hitch manufacturers website so you know what you are getting yourself into.
These are fantastic hitches, had one on our 23 Ioniq 5 that looked brand new until the car was totaled. Took me about 2 hours to install, could probably do faster now that I remember how the bumper comes off. Not the easiest install, but the quality is worth it
So far so good , although mechanic charged $400+ to install on the ioniq 5. Heads up. They have to take both rear wheels off and the entire bumper.
Fits perfectly. The holes lined up perfectly with the carriage and only had to trim the bumper of the Ionic 5 (2025). Works perfect for my Thule Bike rack.
I took it to the dealership for installation, but would recommend taking it to your local U-Haul dealer because they install these all the time. The dealership never does these, so took longer. The hitch is sturdy, and has a very clean stock appearance. Extremely solid. Great hitch. If you are buying this for your 2026 IoniQ 5, I highly recommend buying the OEM trailer wiring harness from Canada Hyundai dealership (not available in USA thanks to current admin). Tekonsha and other wiring harnesses do NOT fit the 2026. The part number is Hyundai Trailer Wiring Harness - 2025-2026 IONIQ 5 (4-Pin) PIF67AC000CA. Plug and play, super easy install, no wire running to the 12V battery, and it enables the built-in Trailer drive mode, weight selection, and auto range calculations for towing. Worth the extra money.
The hitch is great, installation is not. I wouldn't buy it again. There are other options now that are easier. And apparently there is a way to install this one without removing the entire bumper, but I discovered that too late. This is the third hitch I have installed in the last few years and by far the hardest one.
We had the dealer install the hitch on our ionic 5 , 2025. Perfect fit. The dealership said the hitch was easy but the taking the car apart and putting it back together was tough. I believe that having a professional install it was a great decision for me.
