Features to know about

Keep the Back of Your Vehicle Clean: Hidden Cross Tube Design

No one wants a bulky hitch hanging low under the bumper. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver keeps the cross tube completely tucked behind the rear fascia so only the 2" receiver is visible. That means a cleaner, from-the-factory look while still giving you full Class III strength. It doesn’t affect ground clearance and keeps your setup looking tidy when you’re not towing or hauling gear.

Do More with Everyday Hauling: 3,500 lbs Towing and 525 lbs Tongue Weight

This hitch is built for practical use without being overkill. With a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight rating and 525-lb tongue weight capacity, it’s ready for bike racks, cargo carriers, small trailers, or a lightweight camper. The 2" x 2" receiver works with most common accessories, so you can swap between ball mounts, baskets, or racks with no adapters needed.

Install It Yourself: Bolt-On Fit with No Drilling or Welding

The EcoHitch bolts directly to the existing mounting points on your vehicle’s frame, so you don’t have to drill holes or weld anything. The design lines up with factory holes and installs using standard hand tools like a 13 mm, 21 mm, and 3/4" wrench. It’s engineered for a precise fit that makes DIY installation straightforward even in a driveway setup.

Built Strong and Designed to Last: Recycled Alloy and Powder Coat Finish

The aluminum, steel, and stainless steel alloy construction gives this hitch solid strength in a lightweight build. The materials are made from recycled content, so it’s durable and eco-friendly at the same time. A black powder coat finish protects against rust and road grime for long-term use in any weather. It meets SAE J684 towing safety regulations and comes backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Looks very beefy, shipping was very fast. Have not installed yet

has better ground clearance and weight ratings than most others.



by:

The hitch was as described and the installation was pretty simple from the youtube video. I installed the tow hitch with minimal issues. Thank you



by:

This was hard to put on by myself but so worth it. Other videos of trailer hitches needing holes cut and this one not was huge! I will advise that cutting the bumper where it looks like there is a seam would be recommended. I tried installing it without cutting the bumper and that was a TON of time wasted! Just cut the bumper, you won't even notice it gone FR!



by:

Video helps alot. Second person to help would be ideal but managed to install by myself. Looks nice.



by:

The EcoHitch Receiver did not go on my '17 Renegade without a 'hitch'. However, my bad for not seeing Ryan's video on this sooner to alleviate some of my distress for my model Jeep not having the third hole in the frame. My distress was not having to drill the hole but rather which bolts to use. As it turned out, I was missing a plate washer. etrailer supplied that speedily with no hassle. The hitch installed perfectly and easier than I thought possible. Thanks to Wayne, George and Carol for helping me! Great service and product. Oh to follow up, I had zero issues towing a loaded trailer 500 miles.



by:

Took less then 2 hours to install on my jeep renegade 2015 latitude. We ended up buying a pop up camper which I why we needed this and it worked out great. I got the wiring kit with this from e trailer. I highly recommend

Im so happy to hear that, Taylor! We would love to see photos of you guys adventuring with the camper if you feel like sending any in!



by:

2016 Jeep Renegade Limited. Pretty solid product and no hard to install even that in mine I have to drill one hole in each side. Recommended



by:

looks used for one, got about an inch of dust on it, package came destroyed, has cut marks. Not impressed and not worth $[XX]



by:

The hitch is the best upgrade I've done to my jeep renegade. It maximizes its usability. It's holding up really well - no issues.

I installed it in an afternoon with the help of a friend. I can't remember any difficulties. I think there may have been one thing we were struggling with but I can't remember what it was. We eventually figured it out, though.

But yeah, love the hitch. Glad I chose etrailer.



by:

Solid product. Good welds heavy gauge steel. Fit was perfect. I would use the online video library instead of the manual that comes with the hitch. The manual does have a hardware inventory list.

It looks perfect and I had no issues doing the install. If your Jeep has fender flairs order a body panel mounting clip kit from amazon. These will break.

Although it pains me to hear you ordered something from the online jungle, that is some great advice. Thank you for the feedback! I am glad everything went smoothly.



by:

Had a few challenges with the install mainly due to unclear details in the instructions (regarding folding down tabs on the hitch itself.



by:

Perfect fit for my 2016 Jeep Renegade! Definitely not a simple thing to install, luckily the husband owns a battery shop with a car lift on it so that made it a little easier on him to install it. Excited to haul our E-Bikes around now for more adventures!



by:

Shipped in perfect condition. Install took longer as video provided shows 6 pre drilled holes but my 2015 latitude did not. Otherwise fits well and did not affect clearance.

I reached out to the manufacturer and there are some Jeep Renegades where you will have to drilled two holes. It is mentioned in the instructions under 9B.



by:

If you have a Trail Hawk trim the install will be different from the video. At least is was for my 2017 Renegade. The bumper rail was held in by two nuts at each end rather than three, and also on each end, three large bolts into the frame tube, one on the bottom, two on the side. The frame had the third hole (so no drilling was required) and it was a threaded hole. Only after removing all the bolts and nuts and removing the bumper rail did we realize we didn't need to remove it at all since we didn't need to thread new bolts through the frame. Nice looking install once done but it took much longer than it should have mostly due to us not having the right tools but also figuring out the different install.



by:

Shipping was fantastically fast and it arrived in good shape. I was going to install it myself, but the rain and the lack of a life made me choose professional installation. I thought the video was straightforward, but the installation guy didn't want to take the time to watch it. Either way, the installation went well and it looks fabulous!

I was so happy to find this as I didn't want a normal hitch and didn't want the hassle of installing an in-bumper kit. I'm a happy camper!



by:

Great Hitch. The closest match I could find to the factory install. Others are mounted too low under the vehicle. The Ecohitch fits snug to the body frame making it concealed under the rear bumper. Great look !!!
My only complaint is that it arrives marred up from shipping to etrailer before they ship it to you. However, they did give me a paint credit of xx bucks to buy some spray paint to cover the spots. So with some elbow grease and 24 hours of dry time, you have a great hitch to install. Thanks, etrailer for your product, it saved me from paying big bucks for the factory hitch.



by:

Outstanding fit and quality. Video on install was spot on and helpful. Love the finished look, highly recommend this item. All necessary hardware included. I did buy some new plastic trim fasteners for the wheel well trim as a couple broke during removal, recommend getting some prior to installation. Trim removal tools are a big help during disassembly.

Absolutely love this hitch. Pull our JetSki and haul our bikes and it is great. Very durable and can’t tell it’s there when not using. So much better than the low hanging hitches we see else.



by:

It has been about a year since I installed this hitch receiver on my Jeep Renegade and it has performed flawlessly. I am very happy with all of the etrailer products I have purchased and their service.



by:

Looks like installed at the factory on 2023 Renegade Limited. Great hitch and well made. Applause for etrailer who shipped the hitch secured in a heavy duty box, no scratches or scrapes on hitch! Shoutout to GT Arbuckle Inc.in Needham, MA who did an amazing hitch install!

  • Recommendation and Install Instructions for Trailer Hitch on 2018 Jeep Renegade
    EcoHitch won't allow us to link the installation instructions in our product descriptions, but I can certainly send you a .pdf copy in a separate email. The installation of the EcoHitch # EH83VR isn't too involved, but will require that a 6-3/4 by 2-1/2 inch portion of the rear fascia be notched to fit around the receiver tube. The plus side is that the only portion of the hitch that will be visible from the rear is the receiver opening and the safety chain loops. The majority of the...

  • 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailer Hitch Recommendations
    I can definitely help you out with a trailer hitch for your 2016 Jeep Renegade but when it comes to adding tow hooks I would have to defer to a dealership since we don't carry or install those. From what I can see it does look like the rear tow hook sticks through the bumper and some OEM hitches will fit through the bumper as well which is likely why you are getting that response. For a trailer hitch we have 2 options and it all just depends on what you're looking to get out of a trailer...

  • Is There an Aftermarket Receiver Which Exits Rear Fascia Like The OEM Receiver On 2016 Jeep Renegade
    The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH83VR is going to be our lowest profile receiver we carry for your 2016 Jeep Renegade. The factory style receiver was only manufactured by Jeep since they would handle cutting out the rear bumper fascia from the factory. If you only want the style which exits inside the rear fascia you would either need to use a factory receiver or have a custom receiver manufactured. We do have the Receiver Tube # 337RT25806 which will aid in the fabrication...

  • Will The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH83VR Fit a 2017 Jeep Renegade Sport?
    Yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH83VR is confirmed to fit your 2017 Jeep Renegade Sport. I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118651 when you install this receiver. The harness gives you a 4-way flat connector which is the most commonly used for most small trailers you might tow. It will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you are using a hitch mounted accessory such as a bike rack which would interfere with the view of your tail lights.
