Does EcoHitch Require Lowering Exhaust For Installation On 2026 Toyota Crown Signia

Question

Question:

Does this hitch have a video coming for installation? I notice that there are more fasteners for this. Does that mean you dont have to lower the exhaust to install this?

Hey Steve! We won't have an installation video for the EcoHitch # EH44ER unitl someone brings their vehicle in for installation. EcoHitch does not require lowering the exhaust in their installation instructions. This is probably because the cross tube is a separate piece which is part of the reason why you have those extra 4 bolts on each side. However, you may find that lowering the exhaust makes it significantly easier to get the hitch into place.

What will you be using the hitch for?
