This hitch installs behind the bumper so only the 2" receiver is visible. The concealed cross tube keeps the back of your vehicle clean and factory-looking instead of showing a bulky bar underneath. You get the utility of a hitch without changing the overall style.
Built from a mix of aluminum, steel, and stainless steel alloy, this hitch combines lightweight construction with real strength. It’s rated for 2,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 300 lbs maximum tongue weight. That’s enough for small trailers, bike racks, or cargo carriers on daily drives or weekend trips.
The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver installs using factory attachment points with no drilling or welding required. The bolt-on design makes it a straightforward DIY project in the driveway using basic tools. Once tightened down, it lines up cleanly and feels solid without extra work or modifications.
The black powder coat finish protects against rust and road debris while keeping the hitch looking sharp over time. Each unit is engineered to meet SAE J684 towing safety regulations and tested through Finite Elemental Analysis for strength and durability. The alloy material is made from recycled metals that hold up on the road while lowering environmental impact.

As always excellent
It’s the only
Great instructions, great product, super happy to find a 2" receiver for my Honda Fit!
I needed an unusual hitch for my car and was told by the company that what they will send would be fine. It was and there were no problems in delivery or installation.
Great product. It's the only 2" available for the Fit. I followed the video for the 2016 Fit version of the same product (appears to be the same thing, even same price). Came out perfect. Took about 3 hours, needed an extra hand lifting everything into place. A right angle philips screwdriver is needed to get behind the rear wheels. Read the instructions, and don't remove the two push pins above the exhaust, they just hold in a small plastic exhaust cover. The recommended cut in the bumper cover is a little narrow, I had to open it up about 1/2 inch to fit back over the hitch. But, overall very happy with the product!
I was getting ready to own an E-bike... and needed a new car. My car of choice, Honda Fit, because it would accept a 2 inch hitch.
Car bought.
Hitch ordered.
Darn COVID caused the delivery to be slow.
Hitch arrived.
Found a business to install hitch.
Hauled my new E-bike (meanwhile bought it) from OKC to ABQ.
Absolutely no problems... Hitch stayed put, bike stayed put, color me happy. :)
Added this hitch to my Honda Fit. Wanted to be able to still haul bikes to our favorite shred spots with our tiny car. Jah Fit still gets killer gas milage even with the hitch added. 5 stars my dudes!!
Since this is the only 2" receiver for honda fit I highly recommend it. I did the install myself which took about 4 hours with help from a friend. It is straight forward, but I have the 2019 honda fit Sport model which due to its different rear bumper trim I was concerned the hitch would not fit without having to cut the fascia in a weird way because of the ridges in the sport model trim. I did not need to cut into the middle ridge of the rear bumper. The hitch fit just below it :). Overall the product is great, but it does require some tools which not everyone may have. Autobody shop quoted me about $xxx for the labor so I was glad I did it on my own, but you will definitely want to watch some videos from etrailer before hand and have someone else help.
I bought a trailer hitch and the wiring harness from etrailer on line. I watched several videos on the installation procedures but changed my mind about doing it myself. I searched google for Seattle area companies that install hitches and because of the great reviews I called [local company] and set an appointment.
After the installation one of the Technicians took me out to the shop and went over the install and hooked up the harness to the lights up on the shop wall. Brakes, turn signals, brake and turn signals together and the emergency flashers worked flawlessly. He showed me the fuse on the battery and went over the tongue weight and tow capacity limits. Back into the office, Rob went over the awesome warranty.
This was a super clean install! Great service and price. 4 Stars is not enough for this company.
As for the Hitch itself, the 2” receiver is the way to go. No need for an adapter to bring it up for 1 1/2” receiver that most all companies offer for my Honda Fit.
Thank you eTrailer.
The hitch fits well and works well on our 2019 Honda Fit. The provided Installation Notes are helpful, but the pictures are a bit fuzzy and sometimes hard to read. I suggest watching Etrailer's excellent installation videos when available. There was not one available yet for a third gen Fit like ours, but the 2015 Fit video was close enough to help me figure out some of the trickier part removal steps - and to gather the right range of tools together ahead of time. A power drill with extension and hex bit for removing and reinstalling the bolts is a real time and wrist saver as the spacing is challenging for getting a wrench in there.
As noted in the Q&A, some trimming of the fascia is required to allow the receiver to fit snugly under the bumper. Small price to pay for minimizing loss of ground clearance! And it is below the car so not really visible from the rear. There was no template for the cut included in our directions, but it was easy to make my own from the dimensions indicated. Once we aligned our paper template, we then outlined it in blue tape and used that as a more secure guide for cutting the fascia with a demel side cutter wheel.
Note that the holes for two of the push pin clips that hold the bumper fascia in place on the bottom no longer align due to the extra thickness of the hitch and bumper combination. We secured this part of the fascia with heavy duty wire ties (see picture)

A year out and the hitch is still working fine. Do note that the Honda Fit is a low clearance vehicle. The hitch itself does not add to the clearance issues on our 2019 Honda Fit as it is no lower than the bottom pan. However, you should be aware that a bike rack for example sticking out the back of the car from the hitch will scrape on even modest slope driveways. We pull into the street to park at the curb before installing our rack and mounting bicycles.
