Put the EcoHitch trailer hitch on my 2026 Air last weekend. Overall fit was very good. Wasn't super impressed with the supplied hardware. Should be using flange head bolts and much beefier washers. They had you double up on washers to make them strong enough. The hitch itself was well built though. The instructions were printed really small and black and white making the pics hard to follow. No reason not to print them full size and in color. Other tip I would give is a razor knife worked great for cutting the bumper hole. They suggested a jigsaw which is way overkill. I marked out the hole on the back side and just pushed the knife through. Overall install took me a little less than two hours start to finish with the help of my 9yr old.
One interesting thing is when you back up the car freaks out for a second seeing the bikes on the rack saying "stop". Then it changes to a message that says "mounted object detected". Kind of funny since from the factory there is no way to mount something back there.
Forgot to snap a pic of the hitch mounted to the car before I put on the bumper cover.
