  • What is the Difference Between the Draw-Tite 76253 and Curt C25VR for 2020 Subaru Ascent
  • There are some slight differences between the Draw-Tite # 76253 and the Curt # C25VR, but it's mostly down to the quality of the powder coat on the two hitches. The powder coating on the Curt hitches is traditionally applied a bit thicker and is a better quality, in my opinion. This is going to translate to less dings and scratches and generally means that the hitch is going to be less susceptible to corrosion over the long term, so I do recommend going with the Curt # C25VR hitch for your...

  • Axle Weight Capacities Compatible with Lippert Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit LC696740
  • The Lippert Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 is rated for use with two axles that each have a weight rating up to 8K so it will be fine to use with your two 5200-lb axles. The rubber cores in these equalizers will absorb much of the road shock and chucking that occurs with standard non-cushioned equalizers. If you need shackle bolts you can use # TRFA73Z916DLNZ for standard bolts/locknuts or part # 126B2 for a wet bolt that has a built-in grease zerk fitting for using...

  • Gen-Y or Curt RockerBall For 300-400 lb Tongue Weight in 2 Inch Hitch
  • For your tongue weight, you are right about the Gen-Y Glyder like # 325-GH-12001 not being the best option as that requires a tongue weight of at least 400 lbs to reap the benefits. So for your tongue weight below that, I recommend the RockerBall for the best shock absorption. The Convert-A-Ball and its polyurethane interior won't give you as much cushioning as the RockerBall (which is not compatible with the Convert-A-Ball or other cushioned ball mounts), which is why I like it more....

  • Our Tekonsha RF brake controller part # TK94FR is the same as the Tekonsha part number 902502 that you mentioned. This can basically fit any vehicle that has an active 7-way so it would fit your 2021 Subaru Ascent with one as well.

  • 2024 Subaru Ascent Hitch Recommendation for Carrying a Bike Rack

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2019 Subaru Ascent
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76253 is the best option for your 2019 Subaru Ascent in my opinion. This 2 inch receiver has a hidden cross bar that allows you to have a very clean and factory look to your Ascent. This hitch itself is rated for up to 750 lbs tongue weight and 5,000 lbs towing so it is a heavy duty hitch. It will fit right behind the factory panel so you can simply remove the panel when you want to use it or trim that panel if you want it exposed. ...

  • There are options for standalone bike stands, though the bike stand is not available by itself from the HideOut 2 Bike Storage Stand and Transport Kit for Lets Go Aero BossHog Hitch-Mounted Cargo Carrier # H01564, it does come only with the stand, cover, and net.

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Pionner Platform Rack # RR85TB Work with the Malone Aero Crossbars?
  • I have an answer for you. Unfortunately, the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray - Aluminum # RR85TB will only fit Rhino-Rack accessories (including light brackets, cargo bags, and awnings). However, the largest pioneer rack that Rhino-Rack makes that will fit the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 is the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 58" Long x 47" Wide # RR42115BF. The # RR42115BF comes with the same low-profile, aerodynamic design reduces wind...

  • How to Convert a 4-way Trailer Connector on a 2019 Subaru Ascent to a 5-way
  • The 4-pole to 5-pole adapter part # 20036 is the best way to adapt the 4-way on the Subaru Ascent to the 5-pin connector on the trailer but it does require you to splice into the reverse light wire. The reverse light circuit signals the lockout on the brake actuator while backing up the trailer, so the surge brakes do not activate. The blue wire on the adapter splices into the reverse light circuit on the Subaru The reverse light wire is normally located behind the taillights of the vehicle....

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2023 Subaru Ascent
  • The trailer wiring harness I recommend for a 2023 Subaru Ascent is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56040 which offers a direct plug-in-play fit for an easy install and it comes with the most common type of trailer connector, a four way flat. Please note, the four way flat is used on small and medium sized trailer but if you have a larger trailer with electric brakes then you'll need a few other items as well, a seven way and trailer brake controller. I recommend the...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee High Altitude Edition
  • It sounds like you've got flush mounted rails (a matte black flush mounting "molding" that runs from front to back) on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee High Altitude edition, and while they're more intended for cosmetics you can install a roof rack on this vehicle. The best combination of quality, durability and price point is the Rhino Rack Roof Rack for 2019 Jeep Cherokee, which uses parts # RRVA137B-2 , # RRRLKVA and # DK234 to provide you with the crossbars, foot pack and mounting kit...

  • Comparing Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitches for 2019 Subaru Ascent Touring
  • The benefits of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76253 that fits your 2019 Subaru Ascent Touring are that it has a concealed crosstube and also that it has a 750 lb tongue weight, which is the highest capacity tongue weight for any hitch that fits your vehicle. That said, the tongue weight will not come into play when you are using your bike rack and it is unlikely to be a factor for a tent trailer. The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13400, which will also fit a Touring model of '19 Ascent, has a...

  • The Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ballmount # C45900 weighs approximately 30lbs. That includes the receiver pin and cotter pin. The Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit # AM3461 is one of our lightest weight adjustable hitches. At only 12lbs the aluminum construction not only makes it light but it will not rust or corrode in salty and wet areas.
