This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.The install videos really gave me the confidence to purchase and install the hitch myself. Although I've installed the same hitch on another car, having the videos is a great benefit. One of the bolts didn't thread on as easily as the rest but I was able to eventually get it screwed in using a socket wrench, whereas the other 5 bolts threaded in easily by hand. Thankfully the bolt isn't cross threaded. I think it was just a small measurement miscalculation from the manufacturer. It also helps that I've removed multiple Subaru bumper covers so I have a good idea of how they're assembled, but still I appreciate that the install videos are available to the consumer.
Install was very straight forward. It only took me about an hour, video was very easy to follow. Everything fit perfectly and it’s great that the hitch is hidden when not needed on my 2022 Subaru Ascent Touring. Great quality and price!
High quality hitch, well packaged, delivered quickly, excellent written and video instructions.
Did the installation myself and your video tutorial is amazing. Well done........
That was easy.....Thanks
Videos helped make the install easy and straightforward.

Absolute perfect fit and easy to follow guides and videos.
Performs as expected. My vehicle towing capability is rated at 5000 GVWR. I had no issues when hooking my trailer and hauling a ton and a half load of dirt.

The trailer hitch has been working as expected. I have been able to pull my trailer and loads without any issues.
Good fit with detailed instructional video.
Very minimal knowledge needed to install it yourself.
The installation was too easy. I thought I was missing something.
Awesome product and DIY was excellent. My 12 year old daughter and I did it together in no time.

I have had no issues. Been towing my dual Jet Ski trailer without incident.
Easy to install, great instructions, and sturdy for pulling a camper or a boat.
The items look good. I haven’t installed yet but it is all there.
I've bought Curt hitches from etrailer for every vehicle I owned and this was no different. This is the first time I've purchased and installed this newer style (as opposed to mounting it under the vehicle) and I would NEVER go back if I had the option. This was the easiest install of all time. Quite honestly, removing your bumper is the only part that requires any effort, and still, I had the bumper off, the hitch installed, and the bumper back on in less than an hour, including installing the wiring harness.
I bought it to be able to utilize the Ascent's 5000lb towing capacity, but right now, it's being used for the cargo carrier in my pictures. Couldn't be happier with how it all went. Also, I don't know how necessary it is, but I purchased a torque wrench for this install to be sure I was tightening to manufacturers specifications for peace of mind, which I'd recommend.
Bonus: This got to me in only a few days after ordering, and shipping was free. Can't beat that!
Easy installation. Just follow the instructions and I would recommend watching the installation video on the website. Very easy install.
Great hitch don’t care for the safety chain hooks on top of the receiver but that is just preference still great hitch and looks factory
This could not have been easier. I’m so glad I didn’t pay someone to install this. Great quality product. The instructions were clear and made for a smooth install. The only thing I forgot was the electrical wiring but I called customer service and Joshua K was extremely helpful in directing me to the harness I would need.
I installed this on my Subaru 2020 Ascent. Install was pretty straightforward and took me a couple hours along with the harness. I had a buddy help me but this could be done with 1 person if need be. Hitch has been great. Helped move over 600 miles with a uhaul trailer and no issues.

Used it for an additional move and pulling a trailer off and on for past year. Been great!
This receiver was very easy to install, including removing and reinstalling the body panels from the vehicle.
I would highly recommend this.
It fit perfect
Worked out great! The instructional video on the etrailer website made the installation a breeze on my Subaru Ascent. Top. Itch experience.
I recently purchased a trainer hitch for my 2019 Subaru Ascent. Shipping was incredibly fast. Box came damaged, and I was worried the bolts may have been missing, but no! Even with the giant hole in the box, the instructions and hardware were securely sealed and taped to the receiver. There was a scratch from the shipping damage but it was going to be in an area that was not visible, but that’s on UPS. Everything lined up perfectly start to finish. Instruction pictures were dark but the online tutorial was great! Total time was 90 minutes, most of which was trying to locate and retrieve my torque wrench from a trunk of a locked car with a dead battery. Word of advice, even being only a couple years old, the plastic number fasteners did not all come out nicely. Have some spares on hand. Luckily, my 2005 dormant Subaru used the same bumper fasteners.
Install on 2022 Subaru Ascent Onyx Edition. Couldn’t be more happy with everything. Delivery was fast, and the install was super easy especially following the instruction video. Everything went smooth from beginning to end. My brother helped and it took us only about 30 minutes. Really happy with the product itself but more importantly this company. Highly recommend. I will definitely be using this company for future needs.
Installation instructions made this a straightforward job, etrailer's how-to video was also super-helpful. Took about 90 minutes including cleaning up and putting away all the tools.
The hitch was delivered quickly, was reasonably priced, and was crazy simple to install. If it wasn’t for trouble removing my mud flaps this would have taken maybe a half hour to install.
It has been about a year since I purchased this hitch for my Ascent. It has been great, it was very easy to install for me. I highly recommend it.
First time I have so quick process of shipping. I installed already. Instructions were straight forward.

It could be a manufacturing issue, or there is a possibility that the bolt holes on the vehicle could be needing to be cleaned. I have a link below with more information on that possibility below.
