Yes, the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket # Y07138-08 can be used without the middle extension if you wanted it to be shorter. That would take it from being 62 inches long overall down to 44 inches long. view full answer...
If you are not experiencing sag then you can start with just the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit part # 83660 and the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts part # RP26003.
There is no good way to attach this other than welding to avoid putting holes in the frame. I know it is not much better.
If this does not get the results you are looking for a weight distribution setup with built in sway control can be a very effective way to resolve it completely. view full answer...
There isn't a trunk mounted bike rack setup that allows you to open the rear hatch with the rack installed as the weight of the rack would cause the shocks that hold the door open to allow the hatch to slam down and be rather dangerous.
The only type of rear mount bike rack that can allow you rear cargo area access with the rack and even bikes loaded is a swing away hitch mounted bike rack that would require a hitch to be installed first like the Draw Tite part # 76253.
Then for a bike... view full answer...
It sounds like you've got flush mounted rails (a matte black flush mounting "molding" that runs from front to back) on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee High Altitude edition, and while they're more intended for cosmetics you can install a roof rack on this vehicle. The best combination of quality, durability and price point is the Rhino Rack Roof Rack for 2019 Jeep Cherokee, which uses parts # RRVA137B-2 , # RRRLKVA and # DK234 to provide you with the crossbars, foot pack and mounting kit... view full answer...
Yes, you will need a brake controller. To add one to your 2019 Subaru Ascent, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR. This is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailer's brakes when your Subaru decelerates. It has a unique installation method where the only visible portion is the control knob that's about the size of a nickel. The main unit is hidden away inside your dash to be completely out of the way and out of sight.

Yes, there is a plug in 7-way connector for your 2019 Subaru Ascent. It is the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector item # 118290. It uses the same connector as the 4-ways. I have linked the installation instructions below. view full answer...
More than likely the dimly lit display you're seeing is from the voltage taking a while to dissipate. It doesn't take much power for the LED display to show up. Give it a few hours and check again to see if it is still lit. Even if it is, the power draw isn't enough to drain your battery.
It may also be from the separate power wire running from the battery to the stereo system for memory. This small amount of power allows your AWM965 to keep the settings, just like the stereo in your... view full answer...
There are just a couple parts needed in order for you to add a 7-way and brake controller to your 2019 Subaru Ascent.
Because you already have the required 4-way 118790, to add a wireless brake controller, which I strongly recommend due to how very easy they are to use, you'll just need the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L.
This will allow you to use the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.
The Curt Echo will simply plug into the... view full answer...
If your factory hitch on your 2021 Subaru Ascent sits flush to the bumper like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C25VR, you will have no problem with attaching the MaxxTow 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier w/ 48" Long Ramp - 2" Hitches. The closest part of the MaxxTow carrier is 4-3/4 inches from the center of the shank pinhole to the platform (while in the folded position). In order to know for sure if it will clear your bumper, I recommend measuring the center of... view full answer...
Yes, you can use a ball mount like item # DTSTBM6800 that has a higher capacity than your Subaru Ascent. You will just have to go off of the lowest capacity either your vehicle or hitch has.
A better option would be to use the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.

I checked with Curt (the manufacturer) about the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C25VR (13348) for a 2022 Subaru Ascent and they indicated it to be a confirmed fit. They also indicated that it is tested for safety in accordance with SAE J684 as with all of their hitches.
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76253 which is the same style of hitch offered by another manufacturer, is tested and in accordance with both V-5 and SAE J684. Therefore, if you are looking for... view full answer...
It sounds like there may be a damaged or missing fuse on your 2020 Subaru Ascent. I recommend checking your fuse panel for any damaged or missing fuses that are identified as trailer or turn signal fuses. You can also test the wiring going into the powered module for signal with a Circuit Tester # PTW2993. This will help you to determine if the module on the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118290 is faulty or if you are not getting the signal from the Ascent that tells... view full answer...
For you 22' Airstream Bambi I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW Item # EQ37060ET. This is not only a weight distribution system but it also has sway control and allows backing, comes with the shank and the ball. With your camper tongue weight being 500lbs and the gross trailer weight rating being 5000lbs this hitch will have you covered. view full answer...
The crossbar length that INNO quotes does include the crossbar endcaps. The # INB137 crossbars you'd looked at are stated to be 54 inches in length, but they are actually 137 cm long, which translates to 53.937 inches.
Inno actually recommends the # INB127 crossbars for your vehicle, which are 127 cm in length which converts to exactly 50 inches long. view full answer...
The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR will use the Universal Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED69FR. This will connect to the 4 wires you referenced.
The Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob you are seeking isn't vehicle specific for your Subaru. You will want to adapt your current switch blank or use the Universal Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob # 331-TPSI-001. view full answer...
There's a chance you could use a modern set of 10 inch brake assemblies on your trailer with the part # AKEBRK-35-SA but due to the age of your trailer the axle would have had to have been replaced at some point. If the bolt pattern that holds your current assemblies to the brake flange is a 4 bolt pattern that is 2-7/8 inches square these would fit and work great. view full answer...
The hitch that I recommend for your 2022 Subaru Ascent is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. This hitch will also mount behind the bumper and you can access the hitch receiver by removing the bumper panel like you were looking for.

Yes, we do have a similar pattern of tire chains like the # TC2323 that will fit your 2021 Subaru Ascent with a tire size of 245/60-18. For the correct fit, you will need the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2317. These chains come with the same diamond-shaped pattern and include the same manganese nickel alloy construction as the # TC2323. view full answer...
The best size for a cargo box for a vehicle normally is the biggest size that allows the rear hatch to open with the box installed. So to determine which size(s) would allow the rear hatch of your 2020 Subaru Ascent to open you'd need to measure from the center of the front bar back to the rear hatch seam on the vehicle. If the measurement is 55 inches or over the 22 cubic foot Thule Motion XT part # TH629906 would fit whereas the # TH629806 only requires 51-1/4 inches.

I certainly understand the concerns you mentioned for the Draw Tite hitch # 76253 which fits your 2019 Subaru Ascent but Draw Tite rigorously tested the capacity of this hitch and found it has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs. Draw Tite is normally very conservative with their capacity figures as well and tends to err on the side of caution always in this regard. As long as you plan to tow under the capacity of this hitch and your vehicle you will be... view full answer...
