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.This was on the only hitch receiver option that I could find that used the factory knockout on my 2019 WRX. I really did not want to use an under-mount receiver because of reduced clearance. Also, it would place my bike rack too close to the exhaust. Installation was fairly complex compared to the last receiver that I installed (on a different vehicle). However, I expected this after viewing the installation video. The video was very helpful. I have been very happy with the product so far. Placing a locking hitch pin is a bit of a pain, but I plan to leave my bike rack attached to the car most of time, so this is not a big deal for me.
Simply amazing! No rattles, great fitment and above all a great video delineating all the details on every screw and clamp removal. I did this on my own without raising the car on jack stands or even dropping the rear hanger bushing. Total install time thanks to the video was under 2 hours and that included cleanup! Also the hitch was delivered quickly so I got a jump on it before the weekend came. Very happy with etrailer and this hitch. I’ve gotten a few from etrailer already including one for my S2000 a few years ago that worked perfectly. Thank you
The whole installation took about 5 hours with a lift and shop full of tools. Fit perfectly and the video instructions make it a breeze. the written instructions left a little to be desired with the pictures but the site has plenty of those.
Installation was straightforward, just follow the video. Love the stealth mounting on my WRX, very clean appearance. Works perfectly with my 1up USA rack.
Love this hitch, getting the hitch pin in is a little tricky but I love that it's hidden unless in use.
Good instructions, not horribly hard to install. Package complete.
Mike D - 05/15/2020Install took some time but went smoothly. Instructions were very well written but omitted a detail about the bumper cover fasteners in the wheel wells. A few minutes online got that sorted, but I would have liked for the instructions to include that detail, since you truly cannot remove the bumper cover without removing those fasteners. If you’re mechanically inclined, this is a fairly straightforward installation, and I’m very happy with the end result.
This is a good looking piece. I didn't try the instructions, but watched the manufacturer's video which was great. I was able to get the job done solo in just a couple hours. The cuts into the heat shields only need to be about an inch deep, 1/4-1/3 of what they tell you to remove. I just measured 3-3/4" from the existing hole and drilled my own home into them. I needed to leave out 4 of the plastic clips under the bumper cover to get to the hitch pin. A bit of a pain, but I'll live.
Got the 2inch version because of bike rake weight and bike weight. It's awesome, the cutting of the bumper is needed especially for pin and lock installation. It's a great alternative to putting expensive bikes on the roof of the car.
Fantastic product very low profile I do not recommend any other product but this one. Well worth the cost
Great! Waited until I installed this to review. It's a bit of a pain to install, but not that bad and only took roughly 2-3 hours. The hidden part is definitely my favorite and having a 2 inch receiver means I can haul my dirtbike. Couldn't be happier!
Solid product. Only complaint is the restricted access to the hitch pin. Not really a valid complaint because you can clearly see this will be the case before buying. Make a small cut away from the underside of your bumper and getting your hand is is doable but still not easy. Overall happy with the construction and material available for technical support on the web.
Great Hitch. Installation notes are very clear, but would be helpful to include wrench sizes. I believe the least amount stuff should be removed to make an installation easy. the more you remove the more things that can go wrong. That being said, I did not remove the tail lights or the plastic trim by the trunk latch. i just removed the the plastic push pins on the bumper and it came off fine. Installed fine too. It'll save you a good 20 mins overall. Other than that, no snags or rattle with the Aftermarket N1 Exhaust.
Fits perfectly and install was straight forward! A ratchet strap is helpful in positioning the hitch during installation, and make sure to remove the two rear most exhaust hangers prior to installing so the hitch can slide in.
All the instructions were simple and on point. Installation was a breeze but did take a few hours. Recommend having a buddy to help out. The fitment of the receiver is absolutely perfect seriously. Great product definitely would buy another if I needed one.
The hitch is well made and fits perfectly. The bumper cover is very simple to remove and re-install, and I managed to do it without causing any damage. I lowered the exhaust and mufflers as the video shows - but if I had to do it again, I would completely remove the back portion of the exhaust & mufflers. It can be done without removing the mufflers, and I did the whole install alone - but you really need two or three people to lift the hitch into position while you get a couple of the nuts started and the mufflers are difficult to work around. The WRX pulls my aluminum 4x8 trailer easily. I also used the Curt-T connector. I already had power run to my truck for my audio system - and was able to tap into that power feed without having to run a separate wire all the way up to the battery - which made life simple.
thanks etrailer.com for great customer service. live in HI ordered on monday didn't expect to receive until next week but George [email protected] was able to upgrade shipping and i received the hitch and rack on wednesday. installed hitch and rack over the weekend. hitch fits like a glove on wrx.
This hitch and the site met/exceeded expectations. Shipping was quick and painless, and the hitch is perfect. I put it in my 2016 WRX for a way to get my bikes around, but also have the hitch hidden so as to preserve the optics of the rear end of the car. I also found a cool plug to put in for the majority of days were the bike rack is on in place.
I've installed a few of these on different vehicles and this was by far the most challenging installation. I installed it by myself and could have definitely used another pair of hands getting the hitch in place. Once it's in, you'd never know it was there. That was the major selling point for me. I did have to do a significant amount of cutting on the bumper cover to get it to sit right. You'll have to cut out the mounting bracket for the JDM 4th tail light and center areas around the receiver for access. I also had to cut notches where the side flanges meet the bumper to get it to sit flush. I have a Kuat Transfer bike rack and it fits great. Installation and remove of the bike rack takes some practice but I've got it down to 5-10 minutes. You'll have to pop out the middle fasteners and pull on the bumper cover to get your hands in there which is kind of pain. It's not the best set up but it's manageable. I used to remove the bike rack often on my previous vehicle but I tend to just leave it on the WRX unless I know I won't need it for a while. Overall, I'm happy with the hitch. My biggest priority was that I wanted the receiver to be hidden when not in use which it is. For me, the invisibility of hitch makes up for the hassle of getting your hands in there to mount anything to it.
Installation facile si vous êtes un peu habitué de modifier légèrement 2h total la partie la plus dur est de remettre les clip de plastique a la fin ;) Translation: Easy installation if you are a little used to modifying slightly 2 hours total the hardest part is to put the plastic clips back at the end
Very good product! It fits right in. I did it myself and I never installed a hitch before. The how to instructions were very helpfully
I like to say thank you for such a fine product. This hitch seem to do the job and fit just right on my 2019 subaru Wrx. I did have to add a 6 inch extension, but other than that this stand speaks for itself and can sustain trailer with dirt bike.
Straight forward install. Really couldn’t get any easier Unless it was held on with magnets. I even completed the installation without jacking the car up.
Hidden and very efficient! Easy to install and very sturdy installation.
The hitch itself is a very good product. It is built like a tank. The instructions missed one part about threading the bolt through the frame of the car to bolt through the hitch. Other than that, it was pretty straight forward. I am using it for my bike hitch and installation was easy enough. This hides well with the 2016 WRX. It sits higher than the class 2 hitches so ground clearance is much better. Worth the investment if you're looking for a hitch.
