Do Both the Curt C13382 and etrailer Hitch e98912 fit a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness?

Question

Question:

hello, checking if these hitches have the same measurements: Curt 13382 and e98912. I am going to install one on my Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness, and I see that someone used the Curt 13382. Id rather have the matte black one - e98912. Please let me know if they are the same, outside of the finish. thanks!

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 finish Curt puts on their item # C13382 hitch.

We had a chance to install the etrailer item # e98912 on a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek recently. I have linked the installation video below to help you get it set up.

f you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56040 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

For your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek the most hidden trailer hitch we have is the Curt part #C13382 which only has the hitch opening that hangs below the rear bumper. This gives a more hidden look and also helps with ground clearance.

Brake systems are not dependent on the hub bolt pattern. So you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA for 12 inch hub/drums or #AKEBRK-35-SA for 10 inch hub/drums. Then use #10-1-1 wire sold by the foot for your brake magnet wiring.…
