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.

Perfect fit. Installed alone, which made it a bit harder, but directions were perfect.

A fine product. Still looks good.

2018 ToyotaRAV4

I had the ECO-Hitch installed by my Toyota dealer on my brand new 2018 Rav4. The instructions that were sent with the hitch were poorly written and the pictures were basically black with some yellow highlights in them. Impossible to see what the picture was. There was so much confusion about what needed to be done to the 2018 to get the hitch in place. Out of all the confusion and my insistence that the hitch be hidden and no damage be done to the bumper it was finally done...it was hidden and a hole had to be cut into the bumper for the receiver. Better and more specific instructions for 2018 Rav4 would have been good. It took 4 hours to finally install it . Was happy with the hitch itself and looks good now.

It was an absolute breeze installing this hitch onto our 2015 Rav4. We followed the instructions but found that removing the bumper altogether made it way simpler to install. Took about 2 hours to take everything off and on again with no cutting needed. The 2" receiver is the only part you see completely hidden and fits like it came preinstalled by the manufacturer. Very impressed with it.

The hitch was I stalled on a new Toyota Rav4.. I sprayed the it initially with ACF 50 which is an aircraft non rust protectant used in the aerospace industry. It is available on [online retailer]... I just sprayed it a second time a year later... Be aware if you use this it can eventually disappear if you use the cR wash soaps... I use ACF50 on my 4 wheeler for parts that could rust...

After a year the ecohitch is just fine. I bought it as the metal appears to be more rust resistant... I spray some acf 50 on it a couple tines a year and mi imal stai ing appears on the metal.. In Wisconsin salt us an issue from roads on just about anything. As a tip, ACF 59 was developed for aircraft corrosion control. It works great on battery terminals in cars ro keep down any corrosion...Just clean up the terminals, spray on some acf50, take a soft brush on the area a few days later and spray some more on and leave it... acf 50 does NOT affect electrical conductance or short anything.

Just installed the Ecohitch on my 2018 Rav4 Hybrid. The hitch is well made and fit my Rav4 just fine, nice and hidden. I was able to install this without jacking car up, I was able to reach everything just laying on my back. Lifting the hitch in place by myself was a bit of a puzzle, but if you get one of the forward bolts in the exhaust side, you can then lift the other side into place.

Just a few notes, the instructions are for earlier years and the pics of the cover panels do not match. The hole you have to cut in instructions was 3/4" by 3 3/4". This was too small for my 2018. I had to cut a 1 1/8" by 3 3/4". It was still a little tight, 1.5" by 3 3/4" would have been better.

The pass side end cover is not even close to the earlier models. I had to cut, test fit and try again and again. I had to fully cut one attachment point as well as a good sized piece from the side. The panel was too loose with the missing attachment, so I had to loop a long tie wrap around the hitch to firm up the cover.

But everything did fit eventually. Looks very nice!

I wish I remembered to order the rubber hitch cover when I ordered.



by:

Product arrived in-tacked. Heavy piece of equipment. Need 2 people for installation. Instructions were ok, but photos did not match my 2016 Rav4 rear underside panels. The small square of Velcro for reattaching the remote key less entry receiver was disappointing. Took a long time to install and I still have to hook up the wire harness. I like the low profile and that it is mostly hidden. All in all, I probably just should have taken it somewhere to be installed where they have all the tools and can easily work under a vehicle.



by:

The order I placed had a long lead time but the etrailer team was very proactive in communicating the date, options that could ship more quickly and a final follow up when the product shipped and arrived. Truly one of the best online shopping experiences I've had.



by:

Hitch was great. Could have used a video from etrailer on how to install but found enough online to get it done.

Fast delivery and easy to follow instru ctions.

The eco hitch is very well built product. It took about 2hrs. to put on.

Haven't pulled anything yet but installment was pretty simple and directions were clear. Seems heavy duty and that it will last. Very happy

  • Recommended Hitch, Wiring Harness, and Mounting Brackets for a 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
    Hey Shannon! I'll start by confirming that the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7219 will fit the 2017 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. Out of those two wiring harnesses, I recommend going with the Curt item # C56350 over the Tekonsha item # 118578 because of reliability. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Toyota's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area. It will provide you with a 4-way connector. The Curt item # C42CR and item # C57202 are not going to be the...

  • Recommended Hidden Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Toyota RAV4
    If you don't like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98864 because of the visible crosstube then check out the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7219 which has a concealed crosstube that provides a much cleaner look and factory like appearance. It features a bolt-on, drill-free installation and provides a 2" opening which can be used for bike racks or cargo carriers or towing a trailer. In order to complete your towing setup you'll also need a wiring harness and...

  • Best Available Hidden Hitch for 2017 Toyota RAV4
    I have a solution for you to add a hitch with a hidden cross tube on your 2017 Toyota RAV4, but the Draw-Tite hitch you were looking at is not a confirmed fit on your vehicle. The best solution for a hidden style hitch is the EcoHitch # 306-X7219, which will mount completely behind your bumper and leave only the hitch receiver visible. It sits up a little higher and installs a bit differently than the other available hitches with concealed cross tubes, so it's going to do a much better...

  • Hidden Hitch that Fits 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
    We have a similar hitch to the EcoHitch part # 306-X7219 that you referenced that does fit your 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid but this hitch does not fit (as of May 2019). Instead you'd want the etrailer part # e23ZR which is a fit for your vehicle (hybrid models too) and is also mostly hidden too with only the hitch opening hanging below the rear bumper. If you wanted to do some light towing you'd also need to install a trailer wiring harness which for that you'd want the Curt kit part # C56434...

  • Comparing EcoHitch and Curt Hitch for 2018 Toyota RAV4
    The Curt hitch part # C13406 and EcoHitch part # 306-X7219 are both a confirmed fit for your 2018 Toyota RAV4 and will provide a trailer hitch that has a concealed crosstube making it less visible than most hitches overall. The key differences are that the EcoHitch claims a shorter install time, is quite a bit more expensive, and is made from all recycled materials. So you pay a bit more for a shorter install time and a more environmentally friendly hitch. I attached a picture of what the...

  • Mostly Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
    The Curt trailer hitch part # C13406 is what I recommend for a mostly hidden trailer hitch that fits your 2017 Toyota RAV4. Only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper, so you get a mostly concealed look like you are looking for. I attached an install video for more info for you to check out as well. This will work really well with your Thule bike rack too. For a roof rack extender, the Rhino-Rack T-Load part # RTL002 is a really great option too. It fits this hitch and is also...

  • What Is The Ground Clearance Of The EcoHitch For My 2018 Toyota RAV4
    I was able to speak to a representative from EcoHitch today. I was told that the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # 306-X7219, measures from 10-1/4" from the ground to the top of the hitch receiver.

  • Will EcoHitch for 2018 Toyota RAV4 Allow Thule Apex Swing to Fit
    The EcoHitch part # 306-X7219 that you referenced does fit your 2018 Toyota RAV4 and will easily allow the Thule Apex Swing bike rack # TH9027XT to fit and work. If you check out the picture I attached you can see that this hitch sticks out from the rear bumper enough to allow any portion of the rack to fit without any issue. The Apex Swing is no longer available unfortunately but I was able to find a demo video of it on a very similar Rav4 as yours that I attached a link to. The hitch...

  • What is Weight of Curt and EcoHitch Trailer Hitches that Fit 2017 Toyota RAV4
    The EcoHitch part # 306-X7219 that you referenced weighs 42 lbs and the Curt part # C13406 weighs34 lbs so there really isn't a significant difference. Also worth noting is that the weight of hitches do not count against the towing capacity of the vehicle since essentially the hitch becomes a part of the vehicle frame.

  • Why Are 2 inch Hitches Made for 2017 Toytoa RAV4
    This is a great question. There are two main reasons people prefer the 2 inch trailer hitch size over the smaller 1-1/4 inch. One being the higher capacities like you mentioned but the other is that since this is the most popular hitch size there are more accessories made for it like bike racks, ball mounts, and cargo carriers. So you have more options. That's why we offer 2 inch hitches for your 2017 Toyota RAV4 like the # e98864 you referenced or the more hidden # 306-X7219 which only...

  • Trailer Hitch Compatible with Hands Free Liftgate on 2018 Toyota RAV4
    For your 2018 Toyota RAV4 I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - 2" # C13149. This hitch is a custom fit for your vehicle, is easy to install, and will allow you the hands free liftgate function. The sensors will work well on either side of the center receiver tube. I've attached a video of this installation to assist. If you want a more hidden option for a cleaner look, you can alternatively use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - 2" # 306-X7219. This is a more difficult...

    I have linked the installation instructions of the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7219 that fits your 2018 Toyota RAV4 for you to check out so you can make up your own mind on if they are good or not because the quality of directions is a pretty subjective thing. The EcoHich isn't necessarily made of better corrosion-resistant materials than something like the etrailer # e98864, it simply states it has a black powder coat finish that offers protection against corrosion, though so...

  • Curt Class II Trailer Hitch # C12108 Compatibility with Bike Rack on 2016 Toyota RAV4
    For your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12108 for a 2016 Toyota RAV4 XLE, the stabilization strap # 18050 is recommended for any non-trailer load according to the installation instructions. Since it is not required as other hitches often state and could cause damage to your spoiler, you will need to determine if you use it or not. I would recommend using the EcoHitch trailer hitch # 306-X7219 which does not require a stabilization strap, but since you...

  • Recommended Hidden Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Toyota RAV4
    The only concealed cross tube trailer hitch we offer for a 2018 Toyota RAV4 is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7219. This trailer hitch features a bolt-on, no drill install with 2" receiver that can be used for towing or other hitch mounted accessories. In regards to ground clearance, a concealed cross tube hitch will have more than a visible so that's what I recommend as the best overall, the EcoHitch in particular.

  • Is There EcoHitch that Fits 2015 Toyota RAV4
    We do have an EcoHitch that fits your 2015 Toyota RAV4 LE with the part # 306-X7219 but the part number you mentioned fits older RAV4s.

  • Could Trailer Hitch Installed on 2018 Toyota RAV4 Be Used as Jacking Point
    Hitches actually work great as jacking points generally as they are reinforced steel beams that attach directly to the vehicle frame. I wouldn't think twice about using a hitch installed on your 2018 Toyota RAV4 like the EcoHitch # 306-X7219 you referenced if ever needed. For you vehicle it has not been an issue we've seen from our customers or manufacturers as well.
