Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
Question:
I have been having trouble finding an in-stock trailer hitch for my new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. I do not want the Curt brand because it requires modification of the vehicles existing frame holes enlargement. What do you have that you can 100 confirm is in-stock for a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek other than the Curt? Also, the hitch needs to have a 2inch receiver opening. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76209 is a fit for your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. It requires no modification of the frame. There is no drilling required for installation, and exhaust must be temporarily lowered for installation. It has a receiver opening of 2" x 2".
If you are towing a trailer and it has lights, the 4-way Flat Trailer Connector # 118467 is required. The plug-in location is behind the driver side trim panel.
The etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches 7,500 lbs # 989900 is an excellent product to consider. It includes two ball mounts, two hitch balls and pin & clips.
If your hitch or trailer has a different towing capacity or has electric brakes, contact me back. I can make tailored recommendations according to those specifications.
