  • Trailer Hitch for 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with Higher Tongue Weight Capacity Than Vehicle
  • Long story short a towing setup is only as strong as it's weakest component. So even if you install a higher rated trailer hitch on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek like the Curt # C13382 you'd still be limited to the 200 lb tongue weight capacity of the vehicle. The hitches are designed to fit the vehicle and also designed to be as strong as possible. They are rated off of the vehicle and independent of it too. This is why the hitches will have much higher capacities than the vehicles typically.

  • The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365 you were looking at for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek does have a 2" square opening.

  • Is it Okay to Use a Hitch Extender in Between a Swing-Away Extender and a Bike Rack?
  • You are correct that using a hitch extender such as the #e88YR will reduce the hitch's total tongue weight capacity by 50%, so if your daughter's hitch normally supports 350 lbs TW, with the adapter it can support only 175 lbs. I contacted Yakima in regard to using a hitch extender off of a swinging arm such as the the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # Y02483, and they are strongly against using it this way. Although the arm is rated to support up...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek
  • Congrats on the new car! Our website can be confusing sometimes when it comes to hybrids. For your non-hybrid 2023 Subaru Crosstrek, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e98912. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Subaru with included hardware. I really like the etrailer hitch because the crosstube installs behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but it also helps with ground clearance. The etrailer Hitch item # e98912...

  • Weight of Trailer Hitches that Fit 2019 Subaru Crosstrek

All of these hitches have 2 inch openings too. You should note that the weight of a trailer hitch does not need to be factored into the towing capacity of the vehicle. Reason being that essentially the hitch becomes a part of the vehicle frame.

  • How Much Does EcoHitch # 306-X7365 Weigh
  • The EcoHitch part # 306-X7365 that you referenced weighs 36 lbs. When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. I recommend looking it up online. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

  • Do Both the Curt C13382 and etrailer Hitch e98912 fit a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness?
  • Not only do the Curt item # C13382 and the etrailer item # e98912 hitches have the same measurements they are identical with the exception of the finish. Curt manufacturers our etrailer branded hitches to the same specifications as their own. Both have been confirmed to fit the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness. I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e98912 for the exact same reason you prefer it. I find that the flat matte finish tends to blend in better beneath a vehicle than the glossy...
