No complaints about the hitch, and the install video made it possible to do this project myself. And I'm not a particularly handy person. I would definitely recommend!
The EcoHitch of TorkLift fits perfectly on my Honda Clarity 2019 (see the picture). It leave the bottom of the car free clearance, just the 2 inch hitch housing sticks out. I recommend it strongly !
Installation was straight forward, but the pin hole was so skewed that the pin would not insert when a hitch was installed. I had to drill the hole out and now the pin fit is sloppy.
I also wish the receiver was tucked up higher. It scrapes on steep driveway approaches.
This is a solidly built hitch, good welds and paint finish. It integrates excellent with the Clarity. Slides in between the factory aluminum rear bumper and the subframe. Instructions were good enough for me to follow, and it took me one hour to install. Basically peel off the rear bumper skin and remove tail lights, unbolt the rear bumper, and then reassemble with the hitch under the bumper using the provided longer bolts. Requires a simple 4”x4-1/2” cut on the rear bumper skin bottom, soft plastic that cuts easily with snips. The end result is great as well. Location and protrusion of the hitch is right where it should be. My only comment is that the hitch could be built to a lighter duty spec with the 1-1/4” opening instead. The 2” hitch size is overkill for the Clarity, and the structural sturdiness of the hitch supports the 2” design spec. Again, it’s solid, but for this car, a lighter duty version would be a better fit, it will never tow anything and is only for accessory bike racks and such. Lighter duty might allow the price to come down a bit too, which would also be nicer. Would buy again though!
Love this hitch… honda never designed one for the clarity and this is a perfect match! Thank you! It was easily installed by my husband and I (yes you need 2 people at 2/3 different points) and took relatively little time. Under 2 hours.

Awesome!
The only problem I had was in the video he tells us to move the sensor out of the way and flatten the bracket for the sensor but never tells us what to do with the sensor afterwards. Just puts it back together. And the directions are the same way. As it stands car is back together and the sensor is laying loosely between the cross bar and the hitch cross bar. Not sure if that is right. But everything else went as planned.
Great fit. Wondered why the instructions had me pull somme wires loose from the frame. Just move them aside so they don't get pinched later.
Quick delivery, great written instructions, with even better video, showing the steps to install this on my Honda Clarity. Installation done in 3 hours from first opening the box and collecting tools to everything being put away. I would highly recommend

The hitch has worked well and looks good after a year. I am still very pleased with the purchase.
This hitch has worked great with my Honda Clarity. It's very discrete and most folks are surprised when they see my car with the bike rack. The instructions from etrailer would great too. The install was not a problem. This was my 4th hitch from etrailer and I'm still referring friends to etrailer.

Excellent. The EcoHitch was a bit more expensive but worth it for the recessed hitch.
Hitch installation went just as described in the video, no problems at all. Fabrication welds on the hitch are ok, room for improvement there.
Great product ultimately!
It took 2 of us 3-4 hours to install the hitch and the new bike rack... overall, it wasn’t complicated, but a little nerve wracking on a new car (so a lot of checking and re-checking instructions), and we had to run to the hardware store to buy a torque wrench.
Also, you have to sort of pry off the bumper from the clips. Apparently there are tools for it, but we used an old plastic spatula knife that worked well (metal will scratch the bumper).
I recently purchased a Honda clarity. I needed a 2" receiver and hitch for a bike carrier I have. I tried all of the usual avenues to determining if I could place a hitch on the car, but was not successful (U-Haul, etc.). I then tried an online search and was surprised to find E-Trailer had a custom hitch that was both reasonably priced and easy to install. i ordered it online, had it delivered within a few days of purchase, and then had it installed by the Honda people (wanted them to do it for convenience, etc.). It was a very simple process of bolting it onto the cross member of the rear bumper, and within about an hour, voila! I had the hitch placed exactly where I desired it to be, it looked great, and its durability is guaranteed by E-Trailer! Best decision I have made with this car!
I am so impressed that someone makes a hitch receiver for my Honda Clarity. This has allowed me to carry my bicycles with ease. The install was somewhat labor intensive, but very doable for anyone willing to get their hands a little dirty. It took me (one 40 yo female) with no experience with mechanics to install and it works great! I used a dremel tool to make the cut out for the bottom fascia piece which worked great. So happy to have a hitch receiver on my little plug in hybrid!
This was a great hitch for my Honda Clarity. There weren't many available for this newer make of car and it worked well. I use it for a bike rack and have taken bikes on it for a 3,000 mile camping trip,
Sales team very polite and helpful over phone. Helped me to find an item not found easily in listings.l. Very fast delivery.
This bike rack was ordered to install in hitch for an electric bike. Easy to remove for storage as it has wheels. Also has a ramp so I do not need to do any heavy lifting of this bike.
Just waiting for installation of the hitch to test it out. Will update review once installed.
Bought and installed a year ago. A great addition to my car so I can attach my bike rack easily. Product was designed specifically for my car and had no problems with installation.
Great directions and designed to fit. Did it myself in about an hour and a half. This is my third Ecohitch Hidden Hitch and they have all been great!
The service was first-rate and the product high quality. I cannot say enough how impressed I am at the level of follow up service I received, from the time I placed my order. Keep up the good work.
Installation a breeze, but take your time and don’t rush!
I like you guys did give me manual to remove bumper and install your hitch was working and excellent and I did recommend to anyone I know. You guys doing good work and I love parts make in USA and keep our jobs alive. Thank you.
Fast shipping, fast delivery, clear installation instructions, done in under 2 hours as promised.
Well made , easy to install. Challenging to deal with the bumper cover, but that’s not anything that can be changed. I believe that it is somewhat overpriced is my only concern. But, the price is the cheapest available at etrailer.com.
With the included instructions and an online video, everything went together in a reasonable time.
Working great with my Elliptigo bike.

Still working well. Only issue is minor and probably universal with the bike rack I need to use to fit my Elliptigo. Would be great if there was some way to set the lock hole distance so the receiver is always in right place. It always takes time to pull back and forth on rack centimeters at a time to line the holes up semi-blindly under the bumper. Anyone else have a solution for this issue?

I have been using it for more tha a year. It a robust hitch and reliable. The only drawback, it has a loose fitting with my bike adaptor. i needed to had some fillers to avoid vibration while riding with the car.
