Features to know about

Keep a Clean Look While Adding Utility: Hidden Cross Tube Design

This hitch keeps your vehicle looking stock by tucking the cross tube behind the bumper, leaving only the 2" x 2" receiver visible. You get a factory-style finish without losing any function. It’s ideal if you want the capability of a Class III hitch without adding bulk or changing your vehicle’s appearance.

Strong Enough for Daily Use: Class III Rating with 4,500 lbs GTW and 450 lbs TW

Built to handle towing and accessory use, this hitch is rated for up to 4,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 450 lbs tongue weight. That’s plenty of strength for hauling small trailers, campers, or carrying bikes and cargo carriers. It meets SAE J684 towing safety regulations, so you can trust it under load.

Built to Last and Stay Light: Alloy Construction with Powder Coat Finish

The alloy combines aluminum, steel, and stainless steel for a balance of strength and weight savings. It’s made from recycled materials and finished with a durable black powder coat that fights rust over time. Whether you’re towing or carrying gear year-round, this hitch is built to hold up to the elements.

Easy Bolt-On Setup: No Drilling or Welding Required

Installation is straightforward with a bolt-on design that uses included hardware—no drilling, welding, or major modifications needed. The fit aligns with factory attachment points for an easier DIY install in the driveway using common tools. Once it’s on, you’re ready to tow or mount accessories right away.

2026 Kia Carnival

The hitch is very robust and made of thick steel - I am very happy with the quality. It arrived only shrink wrapped, not in a box, but was fortunately in good condition.

I agree with the reviewer who commented that the brackets that attach to the hitch with carriage bolts are a bad design because they are neat impossible to access with a wrench beneath the fascia and should have been integral to the hitch. The video suggests you install them loose to ensure everything fits, then tighten them after you get the fascia on. Instead, you should tighten them down pretty tight before you put the fascia on. Hold up the fascia without clicking it in on the sides to make sure everything lines up. If you need to make adjustments, take the only partially installed fascia back off and adjust.

Also, one revier commented that the M10 x 40mm long hex bolts are too short for the application where it goes through the spacer and bracket - the spacer and bracket do not sit flush enough to the frame to have enough threads exposed to engage with the flange nut. I bought 50mm long replacement bolts and that worked perfectly.

Nate thanks for the detailed feedback and install tips, let us know what you end up using the hitch for. We appreciate you choosing etrailer!

by: Allen 08/24/2026

The hitch was received in a box suggesting a rough voyage but parts were all present inside the box. I appreciate the product design which allows the cross car to stay well-hidden underneath the carriage. Install took 4 hours with a friend and did require use of special tooling like an oscillator to cut the gap for the hitch and a hole expander. As another reviewer noted, there is a lip that interferes with the placement of the spacer. We had to really tilt the spacer and force it to sit flush against the lip at the bottom which barely allowed the bolts to go through the holes, but it ended up working out after slightly increasing the hole size with a hole expander. Overall I'm happy with the product and give 4.5/5 stars when assessing the value given the high cost and slight difficulties with the install.

by: David 09/09/2026

Great product. Watched the installation videos on YouTube and they were extremely helpful. I've bought your products before for a previous vehicle and would recommend them again to others. Cosmetically I love how the hitch is hidden inside the bumper.

2025 Kia Carnival

The hitch has better ground clearance than any other version, which is awesome. On a previous similar vehicle I owned with a Curt hitch it would scrape on many driveway aprons. The EcoHitch seems to avoid that problem and looks great too!

However, I have to knock off a star for the installation. The instruction manual is not great, and I highly recommend watching an installation video or two prior to starting. A couple of easy fixes for the manual would be:
- keep the diagrams on the same page as they're referenced in the instructions
- list disconnecting the bumper wiring harness prior to removing the bumper
- provide an order for tightening the bolts. For example the 1/2" shoulder bolts seemed like they needed to be fully tightened before the M12s were in order to snug in the spacer plate, but the instructions don't specify a torque order

I also had an issue with the split washer and flat washer for the M10 bolts. Two out of the four had the washers deform into the bolt hole before reaching the required 50 ft-lb torque. The splits washers split apart, so a trip to the hardware store was required to find heavier duty split & flat washers.

Works and looks great! A lot more expensive than the non hidden version but I feel it’s the only way to go if you care about the appearance. Their instruction video is also spot on and amazingly helpful!

Couldn't agree more with you, Brad. Best hitch for appearance and esthetics. Also, great bike! How often do you get to take that out for a ride?

Got to use it right away during a group vacation. Worked well and provides more clearance than the other options.

by: Gabe C. 03/21/2026

The look is much much nicer than the Curt or OEM trailer hitches. I took off a star because installation could be much simpler if the manufacturer would care to make it simpler. First, the 2 M10 bolts that go in the bottom position aren't long enough for the nuts to go on the back side. A 50mm length instead of a 40mm would be ideal. The nut is able to thread on after tightening the long main bolt but the nut is only half way on. Then the bumper mount brackets. First, the brackets are adjustable, which is horrible since well, the adjustment can only be done with the bumper off. Which means you have to leave bolts loose. The brackets could be mounted at the factory in the known hole location on the bumper. Second, why are there nuts to be threaded on the inside of the bumper?? It's almost impossible to stick your hand between the bumper and the metal trunk pan to hold the nut. And why aren't they nylon locking nuts? It would just be easier to have a welded nut on the bracket for the screw to connect to. Another suggestion would be to have a place for a trailer wiring connector to mount to. I have been really struggling to find a good place to mount the 7 pin connector, nothing works

Lastly, and this is not a hitch problem, the 2026 Carnival has a piece of metal 1/8 inch thick that protrudes ~1/4 inch that needs to be cut for the spacer plate to fit properly. So if DIYing this project, make sure you have a Dremel or small grinder available.

by: William 06/17/2026

Very pleased with the end result. Took some time to do the install but it was straight forward. I did not want the under-mount hitch for looks as well as not having something hanging down to drag into the snow ruts we often have around here. (in the interior of Alaska)

The overall look of the hitch is great. I was disappointed with the install as the hitch did not fit as expected. I do not recall any mention of having to cut the bumper to make it fit. After the modification was made to reinstall the bumper cover, it had to be cut more for the bumper cover to be reinstalled. Unfortunately the since the bumper cover it cut to its maximum, it has to be forced back on as the hitch is bigger than it should be making the side clips of the bumper cover forcefully hold onto the body clips. Make sure you are comfortable with cutting the OEM bump and that after the bumper cover fits as it was before without you forcing it back into place.

Additionally, the shipping method was just a plastic bag which still contained all materials for the hitch but left the hitch scratched in multiple places. I paid the installed to paint the scratched so it will not give it a quick place to rust.

by: Michael 07/25/2026

This is my third time installing a hitch from etrailer and it was a lot less smooth than the previous installations. Two of the M10 bolts were far too short (as other reviewers have already mentioned) and I had to buy longer ones. Some of the black paint was already peeling off when we opened the box. Some welds were really messy and needed to be filed down before we could get hardware to fit. I didn't like the way that the carriage bolts were retained in the slotted holes, which made installation difficult. But the basic design seems fine once we finally got it installed.
