HOW TO INSTALL A TRAILER HITCH BY TORKLIFT CENTRAL | HYUNDAI IONIQ 5

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive, albeit challenging, DIY guide to installing a Torklift EcoHitch on a Hyundai Ioniq 5. The reviewer rates the installation difficulty as an 8 out of 10, estimating 2.5-3 hours for the hitch alone, and an additional 90 minutes if wiring is included. Key challenges highlighted include the difficult rear bumper removal, with Torklift's instructions omitting crucial steps. The reviewer also notes a correction to the torque spec for the receiver bolts (68 ft-lbs instead of 50 ft-lbs). Despite the difficulties, the reviewer expresses satisfaction with the final result and the hitch's functionality, particularly for bike racks and trailers. The video also includes a helpful 3D-printed wiring harness holder and a planned range test with a teardrop trailer.
