Hidden Cross Tube for a Clean, Factory Look
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.
Eco-Friendly Material
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.
Rigorous Strength Testing Ensures Durability
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.

2013 MiniCooper
***THIS ALSO FITS THE ROADSTER S*** I ordered this hitch for a 2013 Mini Cooper Roadster S even though the roadster is not included in the description. I figured it's almost the same as a Mini Hardtop so I would see. As I expected it fits perfect. I use this receiver with a CURT 45592 Euro Trailer Hitch Mount with 2-Inch Ball to pull a 5x10 utility trailer. The trailer is 1K lbs empty with 100lb tongue weight. This receiver installs quick and easy.

2013 MiniCooper
This is a very solidly built hitch and is designed perfectly to fit my 2013 Mini Cooper S. Once on you can barely see it and it required no cutting of bumpers or any special tools. It’s a two person installation but barely. Only when holding it up to the car body is when you’ll need another set of hands. It’s basically bolt on and forget it. I highly recommend this product. The instructions left out describing a few small parts and where they go but we figured it out.

Extremely easy to install. Only needed my husband to help hold one side up while I attached it to my Mini Cooper. Now I can pull my teardrop trailer with no problem.
