How Difficult To Install EcoHitch EH75KR On A 2024 Cadillac Lyriq

Question

Question:

Hi , I am interested in the Eco stealth hitch for my 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ Luxury 3. Can I get a copy of the install instructions. I would like to get an idea of how much disassembly and mods are required, so that I allow for enough time to complete it. Thank you

Hello Dan, thanks for reaching out. We do carry the EcoHitch Class 3 Hitch # EH75KR which is a fit for the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Luxury 3. I am sorry to say that we do not have a PDF of the instructions that I can send you. They only exist in paper form as far as I know. That said, I can still provide some information that will be helpful. This hitch install will be pretty involved. You will be temporarily removing the rear bumper and permanently removing the impact structure behind the bumper. The hitch replaces the impact structure and assumes its functionality. Relocation of the hands-free liftgate sensor will also be required. If this is your first time installing a trailer hitch, I estimate this will take you around 3 to 4 hours. It really depends on how long it takes you to get the bumper off. I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

@Danr That is correct. You will remove and reinstall the bumper but according to the manufacturer there is no trimming or cutting of the bumper. I wish I could give you more details, but we have not actually had the chance to install one on a Lyriq yet here at our shop.

Thanks for your question, Erald. The converter box pretty much dumbs down the Jeeps wiring when towing a trailer. Wiring on a trailer is pretty basic compared to how the wiring is on a newer vehicle. The best route to have both would be to get Curt…

Generally, we don't recommend using wheel-mount carriers like the RockyMounts Backstage, part #RKY10002 with bikes that have fenders, as it can bend and damage the fender. Instead, I'd recommend a frame mount like the Hollywood Racks Sport…
