Features to know about

Keep the Rear Looking Clean: Hidden Cross Tube Design

The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver lets you add towing or cargo capability without changing the look of your vehicle. The cross tube mounts behind the rear bumper so only the 1-1/4" receiver is visible underneath. It gives you a clean, from-the-factory appearance while keeping full function for towing or carrying bike racks and cargo carriers.

Get More Utility Every Day: Class II Strength for Light Towing and Gear

With a 2,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and a 300 lbs maximum tongue weight, this Class II hitch is built for light-duty hauling. It’s strong enough to tow a small trailer or camper and to handle common accessories like cargo baskets or multiple-bike racks. You can make better use of your vehicle’s space for road trips, errands, or outdoor adventures.

Install It Yourself in the Driveway: 100 Percent Bolt-On Fit

This hitch uses factory attachment points and requires no drilling or welding. The bolt-on design makes it straightforward to install with regular tools—perfect for DIYers who want to get the job done without a lift. Once mounted, it doesn’t reduce ground clearance, so you can keep your normal ride height while adding hauling capability.

Lasts Through Weather and Road Wear: Durable Alloy with Powder Coat Finish

Made from a combination of aluminum, steel, and stainless steel alloy, the EcoHitch offers strength you can count on. The material is lightweight yet tough, and its black powder coat finish resists rust and road corrosion over time. The alloy is made from recycled materials too, so it’s designed to be environmentally conscious while staying strong mile after mile.

@Doug That is awesome to hear! Did you go coast to coast? I am glad it is holding up great for you.


by:

Very easy install but unfortunately the receiver points up a little bit and if it wasn't for that you would not have to trim any of the fascia away witch I didn't do but had to use a little pressure to reinstall it. I may put some spacers behind the top 2 bolts to level out the receiver. I have no idea why its made this way. See pics. Little disappointed in this hitch.

It's totally understandable why the slight upward angle might not seem ideal, especially considering how it could affect the bumper. In most cases, this kind of hitch design is intentional to help with ground clearance. Hopefully, that helps clarify why it’s built that way!

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2017 Mini Cooper S Convertible
    Hey Eric. I guess you could say the installation process is different on a 2017 Mini cooper S convertible. The EcoHitch item # EH87FR you were looking at only fits the hardtop models. For your convertible you'll need the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver item # EH77FR. I do not have an installation video for it. Please note that the item # EH77FR hitch only fits models with center-mounted dual exhaust. What are you planning on using a hitch for?

  • Trailer Hitch Reciever For a 2019 Mini Cooper S Hard Top For Carrying a Bike Rack
    Yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87FR is the correct receiver for your 2019 Mini Cooper S 4 door hard top. I recommend using a bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY74FR due to the exhaust location near the receiver. This rack has a long steel hitch tube which moves the bike rack far away from the exhaust to protect the bikes and your rack. The Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496 will allow you...

    Hey Fred, The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87FR doesn't fit convertible models so you'd need to go with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH77FR instead, which is designed for convertibles.

  • Will EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Fit 2016 Mini Cooper S
    Hey Dean! The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # EH87FR will fit your 2016 Mini Cooper S. It is specifically designed for the S models with a hardtop and dual exhaust. The tongue weight capacity is 300 lbs but you will need to check the tongue weight on your vehicle as well. You will be limited by whichever is lower. What Thule rack are you looking at?

  • Does The EcoHitch # EH87FR Replace The Bumper Beam On A 2019 Mini Cooper
    Yes, crossbeam of the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87FR will replace the factory bumper beam on your 2019 Mini Cooper. This is pretty common with this style of trailer hitch since the whole idea is for it to be as hidden as possible so the manufacturer reinforces that beam enough to handle the impact of a collision like the factory beam would.
