Features to know about

Keep Your Vehicle Looking Clean: Hidden Cross Tube Design

This hitch keeps things tidy by mounting the cross tube behind the bumper so only the 2" receiver shows. It blends right in for a clean, from-the-factory look instead of sticking out like an add-on. You get full Class III capability—3,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 525 lbs tongue weight—without losing your vehicle’s style.

Make the Most of Your Setup: 2" Receiver for Everyday Hauling

With its standard 2" x 2" receiver opening, this hitch works perfectly with most bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts. It gives you the flexibility to carry bikes, haul extra gear, or tow light trailers. The Class III rating makes it a solid choice for frequent use, whether that means weekend trips or daily utility jobs.

Install Without the Hassle: Bolt-On Mount with Included Hardware

No drilling or welding is needed to get this hitch in place. It’s a straightforward bolt-on install that comes with all required hardware. The design aligns with existing attachment points so you can handle it in your own driveway using basic tools. Once mounted, you’ve got a tight fit and dependable strength for whatever you need to tow or carry.

Built Strong and Designed to Last: Recycled Alloy Construction with Rust Protection

Made from a mix of aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, the hitch uses a durable alloy that’s both sturdy and lightweight. The black powder coat finish resists rust so it stays looking sharp through years of use. The materials are made from recycled sources too, so you get a tough hitch that’s built responsibly without giving up performance or longevity.

  • Availability Of Install Video Or Online Instructions For EcoHitch EH72KR
    Hey Daniel, thanks for reaching out. Sadly, there is no online version of the instruction for the EcoHitch # EH72KR for the 2022 Kia Niro PHEV. The instructions only exist as the paper instructions that come with the hitch. I can tell you it will be a no drill install. You will need to lower the exhaust during installation, and you will have to cut a small section of the bumper plastic. Generally it would take an experienced installer about an hour to complete. It helps a lot if you have...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Kia Niro PHEV
    Hey Thom, thanks for the pictures. No, that's not right. This is a complicated install. I found a video for it on Torklift's Youtube page. To install the EcoHitch item # EH72KR on your 2022 Kia Niro PHEV, you'll only use the hole that's covered by the rubber grommet. You'll remove the grommet and use one of the black rectangular pieces shown in the hardware kit, one of the bolts, and the fishwire tool. The other two bolts install horizontally. You'll do this on both sides. The Curt...
