Question:
Hi, not sure if you’ll be able to answer this but, I wanted to know what torque rating I should set the bolts to, Or what torque they were set to in the video? I looked online and asked the factory but couldn’t find the details on that part.

Expert Reply:
The torque values for the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7311 which is a fit for a 2017 Volkswagen Jetta are listed on page four of the instructions. The value is much lower than what you'd expect but still accurate nonetheless. I have emailed this to you as well. If you don't already have a torque wrench we do offer these such as the Powerbuilt Beam-Type Torque Wrench part # ALL644044.
