EcoHitch Strength and Durability
Each hitch is sandblasted prior to powder coating to ensure maximum adhesion and durability, a step many manufacturers skip. The result is a hitch built to handle years of use while maintaining a clean, rust-resistant finish.
Important Safety Notice
Although the EcoHitch is rated up to 3,500 lbs towing and 525 lbs tongue weight, your vehicle’s factory tow rating may be lower. Always follow Subaru’s factory tow limits as outlined in your owner’s manual. Accessories such as extensions, adapters, bike racks, or cargo trays can reduce tongue weight capacity by 25% when under 12 inches in length and by 50% when over 12 inches.

Why Choose EcoHitch Hidden Design
EcoHitch Hidden models feature concealed cross tubes with only the receiver visible when needed, providing superior ground clearance and a cleaner appearance than traditional exposed hitches. This design eliminates bulky metal hanging below the bumper while delivering full functionality.
***Always verify your Subaru Forester’s factory towing capacity before use. No aftermarket hitch can increase the vehicle’s rated tow limits.
