Specs:
The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame, behind your rear bumper. No drilling or welding is required. Once the hitch is installed, only the receiver will be visible beneath your bumper. This means that your vehicle can maintain its stylish, from-the-factory look, and you won't have to do any major modifications to its body or frame.
With a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, each EcoHitch is made of a strong metal alloy that will withstand the test of time. The lightweight alloy is composed of recycled materials. Traditional steel hitch manufacturing can use coal or oil, which can contribute to harmful gas emissions. The EcoHitch's recycled materials limit the carbon footprint during manufacturing, so you get a sturdy trailer hitch while also helping the environment.
This EcoHitch trailer hitch is tested for durability and sturdiness. Using Finite Elemental Analysis (FEA), individual points of stress on the hitch can be detected and remedied. Designers can accurately test the hitch to ensure that it will meet or exceed SAE J684 standards. The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is carefully researched and strength tested for a durable, high-quality hitch that can resist damage while on the road.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

This custom-fit trailer hitch with a hidden cross tube installs behind your vehicle's rear bumper, leaving only the receiver visible beneath it. Aluminum and steel alloy construction is durable and eco-friendly. Powder coat finish resists rust.This is a great product! The only “hitch” from my order is that etrailer forgot to include the hitch straps in my package so my installation was delayed a couple of weeks. Hunter from Torklift and Theresa from etrailer sorted it out for me. Installation is fairly easy as long as you have all the tools. I recommend lifting your car or using a ramp which makes so you have enough room to work with. It’s a great product and I won’t have problems looking for attachment because it’s a 2” receiver. I am excited for our next camping trip!
I was looking for a hitch that would handle light duty with strength to spare and this product did not disappoint!! Installation was easy with the guide and video. The Hitch was delivered on time and looks great. I apologize for the photo it's hard to see the hitch but--- that's the point isn't it.
etrailer's 2016 Prius V and 2017 Prius V videos were great. Followed the vid step-by-step. The paper instructions from Torklift were next to useless for me; tried reading but couldn't follow.
Definitely suggest having a second hand on standby while you are installing under the car.
etrailer's customer service was great. Kept me informed the entire way, even though they were short staffed and took longer than useless to ship out order; understandable during these times.
Sit flush, clean, and neatly tucked underneath bumper. Glad I got this over the cheaper lower hanging ones 1.25" options.
Problems:
No where, either from Torklift or etrailer, did it specify that I needed TWO 19mm sockets. So when it was time to tighten the bracket bolts, I had to make due w/ one 19mm socket and clamps. It was a giant PIA. Added close to an hour to install.
One major problem I discovered is inside of the hitch receiver is not coated properly, making it susceptible to rust. I installed it on Sunday. Monday night had a rainstorm come through (no rubber hitch cover yet since it's coming in the mail). Tues morning I discover rust inside the receiver already. I haven't even used this hitch yet. If I had left it uncovered for months it'd be understandable, but after one night of rain? I can and will obviously spray inside receiver w/ some rust enamel protection, but for a new xxx+$ hitch, I would expect Torklift to properly coat their hitch inside and out. I tried cleaning off the best I could but there's still rust where water sat overnight; you can see in the picture.

This is an excellent hitch. It bolts to Prius with not too much difficulty and is mostly hidden behind the bumper. The main reason I like it so much is that it is a full size class III hitch which can be used with the majority of bike racks and other hitch accessories. I also use it to pull a small utility trailer. Who needs a gas guzzling pickup truck?
Great Hitch Receiver! I used it to attach a cargo carrier and drove it out to Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
My hitch arrived on the scheduled date. I am glad to have found a 2 inch hitch receiver. The build quality of the hitch is very good. I was especially impressed to see that it was stainless, so no unsightly rust in the hole over time. I would definitely recommend this hitch and etrailer.com
The package was damaged so we were missing a few washers but we could easily replace those. The product itself is extremely solid and well designed. It is much much better than our old hitch, and we are very happy we bought it. We highly recommend it!
Brooke M - 07/26/2022GREAT PIECE OF GEAR. Fit perfectly and easily on my 2012 PRIUS V. All parts were included and fit together exactly like the EXCELLENT install videos on your page. Well designed to easily fit into car area, and VERY solid once installed. Only issue I had was using the Larger split washer to attach to car, when they are for support bracket use, and on one side the hanging strap support ended up outside hitch support area rather than on inside. Both of these were easy fixes once I went back and watched directions again. Could be a one man job, but highly recommend having a buddy around to help with at least the initial attaching of Hitch to car. I was very impressed with quality of hitch and all pieces and parts. I would enthusiastically recommend this product and this provider. Delivered within 3 days even during the height of the bad weather. Came well packaged and easy enough for one person to move around. Also LOOKS GREAT on car.
James - 03/06/2022my only reason for purchasing a class III hitch to my previous was to accommodate electrical lift for my wife's mobility scooter. Additionally I had a class I hits installed by the car dealer but it proved to be unable to meet the demands of what I needed. This hitch has proved to be an outstanding purchase and has provided superior performance. As a side benefit the 2 inch receiver has been extremely beneficial in accommodating other applications. The performance, price and ease of installation ( with the video) is excellent.
The hitch works great. I can carry my mountain bikes and even tow my sports bike.
I even have a 4x6 trailer that I use when I need to garb large things from [hardware store]. My Prius is like a Tacoma with this hitch.
Easy as hell to install and has been hauling my 1up bike rack + bikes for over a year now on my toyota prius. Far better than putting bikes on the roof and is a quality product. Online installation videos make installations a breeze.
Excellent service coupled with effort to provide good advice. Love the bike rack I chose. Thanks, Kyle. Thanks, E-T!
Got the hitch to put on the back of a 2015 Prius V, the larger Prius model. I wanted it to hold a Thule bike rack that would fit 4 bikes. We have used it for 2-4 bikes over the year, and it has worked perfectly.
Chris - 06/25/2021The hitch has been great so far. When I switched to the Prius V I didn’t want to change out my Kuat bike rack that I really like, so finding a 2” receiver was a plus. I haven’t tried to tow anything, but having the 2” receiver and rack combo is very stable when transporting my bikes.
Shipping was amazingly fast. I appreciated multiple videos of how to install. Everything went great!
Installed the hitch in 1.5 hours. Easy install and high quality parts.
Many many miles driven either with a One Up rack with bicycle or my On1Moto trailer. Hitch installed in the driveway pretty easily, and is super secure. No issues.
I have a prius v toyota I ordered the 2" hitch. Very strong, fit like a glove and looks good. Installed it myself. Very happy with it.
John C - 06/01/2022The paper instructions were a bit confusing but the instructional video on this website helped with install. Took me a half hr to put on and it looks great! Will it hold the old WR is the real question, she weighs 255lb so we'll see. Yeehaw I done got a hitch on my prius!
From initial order to GREAT packaging, from prompt and courteous notification of delivery to recognition of receipt, from the detail available in digital and printed instructions to the offers of assistance all along the way, the folks at etrailer.com have been most professional and most helpful. Two thumbs up for a company that helps the do-it-yourselfers get it done -- right! THANKS!
Fits my Prius V perfectly. Opted to have it professionally installed which cost about $100. Use it for a bike rack.
love the hitch - the way it installs makes for a very clean fit on a 2012 Prius. Install done shade-tree mechanic style with no problems. Product more expensive than others, but feel it was worth it for our situation - would rather see pricing more in line with other hitch offerings. Delivery, instructions, customer service all went well.
Very fast shipping. Great looking hitch. It took me 2 hours to install. It is not that easy by yourself.
I love the trailer hitch. It has allowed me to take my bike everywhere I go easily and with confidence.
Works as described and easy timo install
