The brake controller that I recommend for your 2022 Subaru Ascent is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # RED44FR. I recommend the Tow-Pro Elite because it eliminates the bulky brake controller under your dash and has just a knob that mounts on your dash or console.
If you don't have a 7-way plug, the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires # ETBC7 will be the part you need to connect... view full answer...
If all of your signals are working there may be no need to connect the wire that is for the 12 Volt trailer power on the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector part # 118290 but I can not advise you to do anything except what is found in their instructions which states to connect the wire. In some cases not only does this wire power the 12 volt connector but may also be used to power the converter taking the excess strain off of your vehicles wiring harness. view full answer...
The 12V power to your 7-way and brake controller should be separate so it wouldn't impact the power to # RED44FR. It sounds like you have the tow package so the # RED63RR will be a better option. This comes with an adapter that will allow you to use the # 3062-P wiring harness for a plug and play installation. view full answer...
The heat shield on your 2020 Subaru Ascent should have been trimmed so that it doesn't rub against the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13400 and make noise. It sounds to me like your installer was just too lazy to do the job properly. I would take it back and have them trim it around the hitch or you can do it yourself if you don't trust them to do a good job. view full answer...
According to the instructions for the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3062-P for your Prodigy P3 # 90195 the plug should be located up under your driver's side dash by the left side kick panel (see attached photo).
The wring adapter doesn't come with a fuse as it has a ground wire and the OEM factory tow package wiring should be protected. If you didn't have factory tow package wiring then you need to hardwire the P3 in and you would use a 30A circuit breaker from the battery to the... view full answer...
To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite brake controller, part # RED44FR, in your 2019 Subaru Ascent you need to find the white connector with the standard red, white, blue, black wires coming out of it behind a kick panel to the left of the driver. The picture I attached shows the location.
Use part # 3062-P to plug into that white connector to install and use the Redarc controller. view full answer...
I have not had this issue pop up before and the Curt Echo # C51180 controller does require input for it to signal the brakes on the trailer to actuate. There will be absolutely no way for this to self actuate on its own.
With the accelerometer being set from Curt, there will not be a way to change how it activates, unfortunately. If this is a negative for you, I do recommend going with a hardwired option, which I actually prefer anyway.
With that being said, I highly recommend the Redarc... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13400 for the 2019 Subaru Ascent does require the spare tire heat shield to be removed during installation. The spare tire shield does not reinstall because the side plates of the hitch are between the spare tire and the exhaust. The side plates of the hitch now act as the heat shield that was removed. I have attached a photo to show how the side plates protect the spare tire from heat from the exhaust.
There is a heat shield above the exhaust that does not... view full answer...

The connector you are looking for to install the Curt trailer wiring kit part # C56040 on your 2019 Subaru Ascent is located behind the driver side rear panel in the cargo area. If you check out the picture I attached you'll see where to find it. view full answer...
Yes the upright mast of the Swagman Current Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4 and 2 Hitches - Frame Mount # S64678 that you referenced does fold down so it can store in a smaller area. Check out the picture I attached as well as the review video for more info. view full answer...
If your 2020 Subaru Ascent has the factory tow package with the factory installed 7-way trailer connector, it will have the factory brake controller connector located above the driver's side kick panel forward of the hood latch as shown in the provided photo. The wiring harness is part # 3062-P.
If your Ascent does NOT have the factory 7-way, you'll need to install a # 118790 wiring harness to provide one. You'd then use the # ETBC7 brake controller wiring kit to install controller. view full answer...
Due to the thinner gauge wiring of the # 118290 for the 12 volt accessory circuit you'd be limited to the 20 amp charger for your battery. view full answer...
As the Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1094R will fit in between the slats of the coil spring on your 2020 Subaru Ascent, it will not lift the rear up at all. However, they will definitely help if the back of your vehicle is sagging as they will supplement your factory springs and give them a little support when needed. view full answer...
I did some research and did find a way to turn it off, but there is not a way to calibrate the system to recognize "common" items and this will need to be done every time the vehicle is restarted.
With that said, what you need to do is when you put the vehicle in reverse, the camera will appear on your dash monitor. In the lower right hand corner of said monitor, you will see a green P with several curved lines radiating out from it and ON directly underneath it. All you need to do is... view full answer...
The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR can definitely be installed on your 2021 Subaru Ascent, but how it hooks up to your vehicle will depend on how it came wired from the manufacturer.
If you have the factory tow package, the install will be quick and easy. The Tekonsha Harness # 3062-P will allow you to plug directly into a port under the dash, and the # 331-TPH-017 will then adapt that harness to attach directly to the # RED44FR controller. There is not currently... view full answer...
Yes, we have an adapter that you can use with the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR to plug in under the dash of your 2022 Subaru Ascent with tow package. You will want to pick up the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3062-P and the Redarc Tow-Pro Wiring Adapter for Tekonsha Brake Controller Harness # 331-TPH-017. The # 3062-P adapter will plug into the Liberty using the # 331-TPH-017 and then into the port under your dash just like you were... view full answer...
The location to plug the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter part # 3062-P is just above the driver's side kick panel just behind the hood release latch mounting block. It will be wrapped in black (most often) tape to keep it clean and free of debris. It will be taped up to another main harness and this is likely causing your issue. Please see the attached photo for the exact location. view full answer...
There are two different 7-way trailer wiring harnesses for a 2019 Subaru Ascent dependent on whether or not you have the factory tow package. If you do have the factory tow package then you should be using the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118290, not the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7. If you found a plug under the dash for the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3062-P then you have the factory... view full answer...
The lid of the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier w/ Lid # M2205-2201 will actually need to be completely removed when you are completely folding it up. You will want to put the lid elsewhere, like inside your vehicle, if you do not need to use the carrier but still have it in the hitch.
To mount it to your hitch you can use Pin and Clip # PC3 though I recommend using the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 to lock the Carpod to your and protect your investments.
