What is the Best Hitch for a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek?
Question:
Need your best hitch for a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek.
asked by: Gloria
Expert Reply:
The best hitch for a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is the etrailer item # e98912. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight.
The reason this is the best hitch is because the crosstube mounts completely behind the rear bumper. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible. Not only does this help with ground clearance but it also looks much better. On top of that the flat matte finish will blend in better beneath your Subaru's trim then the glossy finishes on the Curt item # C13382 or Draw-Tites item # 76209.
I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video to help you get this hitch set up and show you what it looks like once installed.
Please note that the etrailer item # e98912 hitch does not fit the hybrid models. If your 2024 Crosstrek is a hybrid the only option to add a hitch is to use the Draw-Tite item # 76209.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56040 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
