For your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13382. This Class III trailer hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening and a towing weight capacity of 3,500 pounds. The hitch is custom-fit for your Crosstrek, which means that it will use existing holes in the vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation. I have attached the installation details that you can also look through.
It looks like there was a bit... view full answer...
Brake controllers can't activate the brakes of a vehicle being flat towed so you will have to look into a supplemental braking system. Some do require power to operate and on vehicles that also require the battery be disconnected the solution is to use an outlet kit like part # RM-9332 which wires to the battery and then gives an outlet.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot... view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at Draw-Tite and the Class I - 1-1/4" # DT24959 is a confirmed fit for models through 2017. The Class III -2 inch # 76084 is also a confirmed fit for models through 2017.
They have not yet (as of Sept 2017) confirmed the fit for 2018 model years of the Subaru Crosstrek. view full answer...
I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912 for your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. The Receiver # 76271 is custom fit for a Forester and WRX and will not fit correctly on your Crosstrek.
I recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which is most commonly found on small trailers you might tow. It will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with any hitch mounted accessories... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C11286 does for sure fit a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek as we have had the chance to install it on one. Check out the install video link I attached to see. view full answer...
According to EcoHitch, the # 306-X7203 isn't a fit to for the 2021 Crosstrek, as there have been changes to the rear of of the vehicle between the 2018 model and the 2021 model that would prevent the hitch from fitting.
The good news is that EcoHitch has a completely concealed hitch available for the 2021 model, part # 306-X7365. The receiver tube of the hitch is completely removable, so when the hitch isn't being used and you remove the receiver tube and the hitch will be 100% hidden... view full answer...

I checked the owners manual of your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek and only the AWD models can't be towed with a tow dolly so as long as your manual transmission model ISN'T AWD you'd be fine to use a dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1.
You'd need gear selector in neutral with the key in the off position so that the steering wheel would be locked. view full answer...
Installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912 on your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek will not void your vehicle warranty unless you were to use the hitch in a manner it was not intended or exceed the manufacturers specifications. The same is true for the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040. This will provide you with a 4-way flat connector for small trailers and it will also accept Auxiliary Lights # C53201 should any hitch mounted accessory you carry impair the view of your tail lights. view full answer...
To install the etrailer hitch part # e98912 that you referenced there isn't any drilling required but you will need to use a file or rotary tool to slightly enlarge holes on the vehicle frame.
I attached an install video for this hitch that shows the entire process for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Tire chains that use cables, like what you find with part # TC339DC, are pretty much a one-time use as they are essentially a cheap way to say that you have chains when the law requires it. If you're needing to use actual chains then I have a few options that are Class S compatible and will fit the 225/60R17 tires on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek.
The Konig CB12 # TH01221104 are the next step up, will be easier to install, and will be a major upgrade to entry-level cable-style chains when... view full answer...
The Bright Way Solar Battery Charger # BRW54FR has a one way diode to prevent it from draining your battery. The electricity will flow one way and one way only. As far as over charging goes, my co-worker had this charger on his enclosed trailer ALL WINTER LONG to charge his two 6V batteries and it did not overcharge them. I don't see there being any overcharging issues at all. Your batteries will be safe with this charger.
I've used the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger # 329-GENIUS5 while... view full answer...
Both the hitches you mentioned have the same ground clearance. The Draw Tite # 76209 and the Curt # C13382 both have 15 inches from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground. view full answer...
Curt and us have not test fit the Curt hitch part # C13382 on a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek that has a Nameless exhaust kit installed. If anyone was to have tested this it would have been the exhaust brand as Curt basically only tests things with factory equipment.
The best help I can be is to have you check out the picture I attached that shows how the hitch fits with the factory exhaust for you to compare to what you have. view full answer...
For your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek the Curt hitch part # C13382 is a confirmed fit for a 2 inch hitch and the part # C12184 is the correct fit for a 1-1/4 inch hitch. The part numbers you mentioned are not a fit for your vehicle so they will not work. view full answer...
The Sportrack part # S64720 can fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/8 inches wide and 1-7/8 inches tall which shouldn't be an issue for your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek but you should still double check yours. view full answer...
The Ecohitch part # 306-X7203 that you referenced which is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek can be used with a hitch mounted cargo carrier like the # C18151.
You'd just have to move the panel on your vehicle to allow the carrier access to the hitch.
We don't have any listed installers in your area, but a decent mechanic in your area with a good reputation would be all that you need as hitch installs are pretty simple for mechanics. view full answer...
Yes, the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag part # TH869 would easily fit in the Thule Canyon part # TH859XT. The bag is also water resistant which means in a light rain the contents of the bag would stay dry but a heavy rain would allow water in.
Either way it's a good idea to wrap your cargo in a plastic bag. view full answer...
When we installed Curt 2-inch hitch # C13135 on a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek we did find that the hitch pin hole was positioned 2-1/2-inches from the rear edge of the bumper cover. This is a fairly close placement and this means you will not need too much clearance from a bike rack in order for it to clear the bumper. A rack that offers at least 4-inches of clearance from the hitch pin hole should be just fine since this gives you 1-1/2-inches of space between the bumper and the rack.
