Expert Answers about Subaru Crosstrek


  • What Trailer Hitch Receiver Is Going to Be Hidden Behind The Bumper On a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek?
  • Sorry Steve, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912 is going to be the only receiver we have manufactured for your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. We do carry the EcoHitch # 306-X7365 which is going to have the most hidden cross tube of any receiver custom fit for your Crosstrek. It also has a removable receiver shank so when not in use you will not even see the receiver. I have included a installation video below so you can see exactly how all the components will fit. I do recommend installing...

  • What Crossbars Are Going To Allow Thule Hullavator Pro To Fit With Rapid 450R Feet On 2023 Crosstrek
  • The Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711320 paired with 4 of the Thule Rapid Crossroad 450R Feet # 753-3399-02 will allow you to install the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack # TH898 on your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek with the raised rails. I verified with Thule that there is enough overhang with these crossbars to allow the use of the Hullavator.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation For A 2022 Subaru Crosstrek With Factory Raised Rails
  • Hey Jim, we do have some good roof rack options for your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek with factory raised rails. That said, the # Y00447-2 that you were looking at is not going to be a fit for our vehicle. If you want something similar in appearance, we have the Rhino Rack Vortex Roof Rack # JA7987. This is an Aero bar roof rack and like the Yakima rack, the bars will be flush with the factory rails. The Rhino Rack also includes locks and keys, whereas the Yakima does not. If you prefer to...

  • Does the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Flat Tow Brake System Work w/out the Monitor?
  • The Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Flat Tow Brake System item # RM-9400 will work without the Receiver for the Roadmaster Even Brake Braking Monitor item # RM-9410 but you won't be able to adjust the settings. The Transmitter item # RM-9420 is required for the system to work. The transmitter not only sends signals to the monitor in the cab so you know that everything is working properly but it also communicates with the system as you apply the brakes to allow for proper function. Without...

  • Recommended 7 Way Mounting Bracket for a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
  • Kyler, you do have other options but the mounting bracket that came with # ETBC7 should be either installed on the hitch or drilled into the fascia, but since you're not a big fan of that I'd recommend going with a no-drill option # 18136. This option does not require any drilling anywhere so you'd just need to feed the hose clamp around the cross tube and you'll be good to go.

  • Recommended RV Smart TVs

  • Availability of Keyed Alike Lock Pods for RockyMounts WestSlope 3
  • There is a way to make the Replacement Hitch Lock Pod # RKY12006 keyed alike but they won't come that way by default. What you can do is order the two lock pods and then swap out the cores for a matching pair using # RKY0332. The other option is to order them and after they show up choose one of the lock cores to keep and order a single like the E110 # RKY0331-E110 that matches whatever lock number you have. However, some of the single lock cores cost about the same as the pair so it would...

  • How Does The Thule Hullavator Pro 898 Kayak Carrier Attach To a WingBar Evo Crossbar Roof Rack?
  • The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack # TH898 will either clamp around the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 or can be held inside the channel. The Bar Mount Assembly # 7521741001 included with the carrier allows for either style attachment to work. I have linked the installation instructions for the carrier below which you can use to decide which mounting method you would prefer to use. Then you can let me know exactly what parts you may need so I can help you locate all the correct...

  • Is There A Hitch Made Specifically For The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness?
  • Hey Sandy you are absolutely correct about the bumper/design differences with the Crosstrek Wilderness edition. As of right now (February 2024) none of our manufacturers (Curt, Draw-Tite, Stealth Hitch) make a hitch specifically for the Wilderness edition. I did check with my contact at Curt, and I was told that at this time, there is nothing on the drawing board specifically for the Wilderness edition, but that could always change as demand increases. The hitch we are currently recommending...

  • Troubleshooting Autowbrake Not Functioning with Brake Pedal
  • Hey Michele, since you have replaced the Autowbrake part # 3430001 already the issue has to be the wiring of the controller. I would recommend going over all of the connections that the brake controller has made to your trailer. Since it's not working with the brake pedal I would start there. Make sure your stoplights on your trailer are activating properly.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek
  • Hey Pat, so if your 2021 Crosstrek had factory raised rails then you could use something like the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 on both vehicles, but if you had a bare roof on your old Crosstrek then the bars are not going to be interchangeable. But, If you have flush mounted rails on the new Crosstrek you can use something like the Custom Fit Roof Rack Kit With TH25KE # TH93GG. If you also need a kayak carrier, the Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # S512 will work great...

  • Bolts Not Long Enough For etrailer Trailer Hitch on 2019 Subaru Crosstrek
  • Hi Steven, I'm not 100% certain what you are referencing by the plate isn't long enough with the # e98912, would you possibly be able to clarify or describe what you mean regarding the length of plate? And for the bolts not long enough, is there any thread showing? Is it all four bolts? Did you use the spacer at the back of the hitch to level it out?

  • Can The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat Trailer Haul A Sea Eagle FastCat14 Catamaran
  • Hey Doug, The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 has a maximum boat length of 14'. With your FastCat14 being 14'-4" you're just a bit over that maximum length. It would likely still fit but you'd be going against the manufacturer's requirements. Instead I recommend the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107, which can accommodate boats up to 17' in length. It has a 250lb weight capacity that can be increased to 350lbs with HD Shocks # Y08110.

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek With Manual Transmission Behind 2021 Winnebago View
  • The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 52922-1A which fits your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek is going to require a Crossbar # 910021-00. You are also likely going to need a Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # BLU28XR to keep the Tow Bars # RM-676 within 3" of level. The Accessory Kit # RM-9284-2 along with the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 will take care of the electrical components you are going to need. For the braking system I recommend the Demco systems as they are the best in...

  • Is The EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365 Hidden Completely on 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness?
  • With the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365 installed on your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness the only portion of the receiver you will see is the removable 2" receiver opening. I have included an image of the receiver installed on a Crosstrek in our shop where you can see the cross tube and mounting flanges cannot be seen. I always recommend having a 4-Way # C56040 installed when you install a receiver. This will allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 or connect...

  • Recommended Crossbar Pads for Subaru OEM Crossbars
  • Thanks for the picture! I recommend the Yakima Crossbar Pads for Aero Crossbars item # Y07413. These come in a pair and measure 30" long x 3" wide x 3" tall. These pads have four Velcro strips that run the entire 30" length. They will ensure the pads stay snug on your factory crossbars. I have linked a review video below so you can see them demonstrated on a Crosstrek we had in the shop awhile back.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller on a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek With Factory 4-Way
  • Yes, our 7-Way Kit # ETBC7 will connect into your factory 4-way on your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. This means you will not have to splice into the tail lights. The kit does include universal wiring for both a charge line and Brake Controller # RED52VR which will require you to connect to the battery and splice into the brake switch since your Crosstrek does not have a factory plug and play option for the brake controller.

  • What Vehicles Does The EcoHitch 306-X7203 Fit?
  • No, they are not. The EcoHitch # 306-X7203 is not a fit for the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness. The EcoHitch # 306-X7203 will fit the following vehicles: 2016 - 2017 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid models 2016 - 2017 Subaru Crosstrek non-Hybrid models 2013 - 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek 2014 - 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid models 2014 - 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek non-Hybrid models As of right now (February 2024) all of the hitches for the 2024 Crosstrek, such as the etrailer class 3 hitch # e98912...
