Forklift Ecohitch fits

The Torklift Ecohitch came last week and I installed it last weekend. Fits great, install wasn't too much trouble, and my OneUp bike rack fits well, still allowing for the back to open with it on (but not with bikes loaded**).

I put it on DIY. Used car ramps to lift it a few inches, then just used some sockets and screwdrivers to install it. To put the plastic splash shield back on with the hitch, you do need to cut some chunks out of it, which the instructions all show. I used a reciprocating saw and a razor to clean up.

Took a few hours, but mostly due to wrangling the plastic bits. The actual hitch install was only like an hour, maybe.

I haven't actually driven with the rack on yet, so not sure about alarms, sensors, etc. but I'll update when I do.

** Edit: unless the rack is tilted down

Edit: I didn't catch the typo in the title. It's "Torklift" not Forklift
