This completely hidden, custom-fit hitch installs behind your vehicle's factory knockout panel. Aluminum and steel alloy construction is durable and eco-friendly. Powder coat finish resists rust.

Specs:
The EcoHitch Invisi trailer hitch is designed to be completely out of sight. The hitch cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame, behind the body of your vehicle. No drilling or welding is required. The receiver portion of the hitch will sit just behind the factory knockout panel in your bumper. Just pop the panel off to tow and put it back on again for a from-the-factory look when you're done using the hitch.
With a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, each EcoHitch is made of a strong metal alloy that will stand 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 Invisi trailer hitch is carefully researched and strength tested for a durable, high-quality hitch that can resist damage while on the road.

This completely hidden, custom-fit hitch installs behind your vehicle's factory knockout panel. Aluminum and steel alloy construction is durable and eco-friendly. Powder coat finish resists rust.by: Paul06/10/2018
The hitch looks high-quality, and the installation went smoothly. I would recommend you watch the install video before installing the hitch (it made it easier for me) The only issue I had was when trying to tighten down the four mounting bolts - they want to spin (there's nothing holding the bolt heads from turning). So I ended up holding the exposed threads below the nuts with a small vice-grip, and using a wrench to tighten them down - it worked. I used a uni-bit to enlarge the above/access holes to 1" vs. using a hole saw. No pictures because it is hidden up under the car (which is what my wife wanted). I am very pleased with it. 519941

The installation was complicated, but that was made clear in the product's description. It fits perfectly and looks fantastic. I love the fact that it's not visible when not in use, and that it doesn't reduce my clearance. 510141

Product was packaged good and parts were easy to figure out. Instructions were incorrect regarding which hole to expand, but luckily for the Youtube video by Crosstrek Central I already knew that was going to be the case. Can easily be installed by one person and it took about 3 hours to install the receiver hitch and wiring, which is sold separately. I used two of the four plugs, along with black RTV silicone, that are removed from underneath to cover the expanded holes. I highly recommend the hitch. You can't tell it's installed since it's hidden by the bumper and fits perfectly behind the factory knockout plug in the center. 475148

This product is exactly as described; a more expensive hitch to get the specific, streamlined look on your Subaru Crosstrek. As with the other reviews, WATCH SOME INSTALL VIDEOS FIRST. Using the Curt hitch installation vids help, and doing some research online pulls up some more useful clips. The hitch comes with printed instructions with (2) methods for install. I highly recommend going with the trunk ->widening eyelets method over the remove bumper-> remove impact bar method. Bolts were a serious pain to get off, and ended up breaking some push clips in the process. Really difficult to access and torque as well. In retrospect I would have rather taken the dremmel to the eyelets through the trunk as most people have done than trying to deal with the bumper/impact bar. All-in-all a solid product that fits the look I was going for. 551458

the hitch worked great. install was super easy. did it myself -but could have used an extra hand when lifting for bolting on. The directions were super clear but I didn't need to enlarge 4 holes- just two. everything was as promised. fits like a glove in the little trailer hitch area which is way nicer than it hanging below the bumper. 487447

After installation, I wondered if the product was even there! Intallation took about 2.5 hours, with the push tabs on the bumper being the hardest part. I tried finding videos on YouTube, but couldn't find any. I ended up breaking a few of the tabs and need to reorder. As soon as the bumper was off the rest of the installation is a breeze. I can't wait to use this hitch now! 561925

Very nice product, and a fun project to take the car apart a bit! Only 3 complaints / requests: 1. It was fairly difficult to get the bolts to bite and stop turning inside the frame. 2. It would also have helped to have a reminder in the instructions to check that the hitch is centered before tightening the bolts :) 3. More detailed descriptions of the different snap fittings on the bumper would have saved time. 399415

If you follow the directions you can be done in less than an hour and a half. I prepared the car by opening up the holes, installing the bolts in the frame and dropped the exhaust by myself. I asked my brother to lift the hitch into place and start the bolts then finished tightening everything down. The installation was a breeze and it is great not seeing the hitch when the receiver is not installed. My wife was even on board once she knew it wouldn’t be visible. The cost is twice as much as any other hitch but not seeing it and not losing any ground clearance are worth it. Angela was extremely knowledgeable and a joy to work with. Hopefully it will work as great at it looks when we start pulling our jet ski with it. 485971

This hitch works very well and installation went fairly easily. It tucks up nice behind the bumper fascia and is unseen. The instructions were very clear. I am very satisfied and it has made our 2015 Crosstrek even more versatile. 437733

The hitch and end result are top notch. I took my time and got it done in 3 hours. My only issue is the steep price... etrailer made the order easy and had the hitch shipped to Alaska in 5 days 440212

The order came to us very quickly. This hitch fit perfectly. It wasn't hard to install, but we are DIY'ers and had the right tools to get job done. We bought the hitch to support the Swagman 2-bike rack. We are thrilled with that too! We gave the system a trial run last weekend. It's very stable for two bikes and we think the design is exceptional. 552723

Product arrived well padded and packaged. Easy to read instructions. Install was simple with leaving the rear bumper in place. Very happy with the install and purchase. 547970

After one year hitch still rust free and all connections good. Love the concealed design of this model. Simply the best hitch for Subaru crosstrek! 522575

Installed on a 2014 XV Crosstrek: Hitch installed fairly easily following instructions. There are a few more clips/pins holding on the bumper than the instructions say, but if you look for them they're not hard to find. I was able to get it installed without having to drop the muffler. Only tricky part was getting the bolts to tighten and not spin once the hitch was installed, but that went pretty quick once i borrowed an impact wrench. The only complaint I had for the whole process was the estimated 7 days for shipping/delivery ended up being around 5 weeks. 505231
