  • Yes, the RoadMaster XL kit, part # 909-1, will fit your 1993 Subaru Impreza. There are two methods for setting up lights on a towed vehicle.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The best towing hitch for your 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon is going to be the etrailer Trailer Hitch item # e25TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware.

Not only does this look better once installed but it also improves ground clearance over a hitch that would mount below your frame. I...

  • Hitch Cargo Carrier to Carry a Wheelchair on a 2013 Subaru Impreza
