I just finished it today on my 24 model y Performance, it took about 3hrs, with just pretty basic knowledge of tools. Tips - 1. Get a deep 15mm socket. I got one about 2.5in to 3in deep. 2. Don’t need a drill but it would speed things. 3. Was able to get under the car without lifting it or putting it in stands. 4. This guy is strong, he made pulling out the clips easy, don’t be afraid to pull harder than you think. I’ll try to reply if anyone has questions.

So many steps - just installed mine today on my 2020 Model Y. Took about 2.5 hours. A few things that happened to me: 1. When I was removing the inner trunk panel (both driver and passenger side), the video showed only removing the lower portion but I had to pop out the upper portion as well to fit my hand and tool behind the taillights. If you do that, be VERY careful on the pins, when I was reinstalling it towards the end, my passenger panel wasn't aligning up properly. I somehow kept hitting it and it eventually snapped into place. Not 100% sure what I did but it "looks" fine now. 2. When reinstalling the lower back bumper, take note of where the clips are. I didn't really know where the pins were and got lucky with the bumper placement. I lightly shoved the bumper from multiple angles and it seemed solid to me. 3. When I reinstalling the push pins on the rear panel (under the trunk), the push pins were so incredibly hard to put back in, I had to use a hammer to get them flush again. Probably not the wisest on my part but they are there and I'm not taking it out again. Overall, this video was amazing. Followed it to a T (tee?) and eventually got it installed. Thank you UHaul!

Wiring is a Separate Video specific to the part shown. Here is the quick connect for the 2021 and 2022 only. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZq0nGNth5Jrn5o The 2023 and 2024 need a universal wiring kit and we do not yet have a video. However the previous video will help with the removal of your interior trim, and how to access the taillights wiring. Also the 2024 Tesla Y was recently seen with a wire harness under the bumper fascia that had a unused 12v power to connect the convertor box to. So that may be helpful instead of running your power wire thru the interior like Aaron does in the video.

I question why the original bumper beam is not reinstalled. The OEM hitch and the Eco hitch require reinstalling the bumper beam. I highly doubt that this hitch can replace the bumper beam that is designed to absorb the impact of a catastrophic rear-end collision. Can this hitch be installed with the original beam?
@trailerhitches Жыл бұрын
This hitch acts as a replacement for the bumper beam and meets all manufacturer specifications and requirements for a bumper beam. Its completely safe! The original bumper beam will not fit on top of the hitch during installation. Most Eco hitches allow the reinstallation of the OEM bumper beam because they did not design their hitch with those specifications in mind. We do carry Eco hitch product though!
