- Best Trailer Hitch for 2019 Subaru Ascent for Hitch Bike Rack
- Between the Draw-Tite hitch # 76253 and the EcoHitch # 306-X7381 that both fit your 2019 Subaru Ascent if it were my money I would get the Draw-Tite.
Both hitches will take about the same time for installation (2+ hours) but because the Draw-Tite costs much less than the EcoHitch I would go that route.
But if you prefer a USA-made hitch then the EcoHitch model is currently the only such option. And you might care to check out the two articles on hitch bike carriers that may help you in...
view full answer... - Comparing EcoHitch and OEM Hitch to Curt and etrailer Hitches on 2022 Subaru Ascent
- I'll start with the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7381. The price on any EcoHitch comes from the material used in the construction of the hitch. It uses a special alloy made of recycled materials and combines aluminum, steel, and stainless steel.
You are right about the OEM hitch too, a lot of times they come with a wiring harness. On some vehicles if you get it with the OEM hitch the bumper may also be different to allow for an OEM look. For your 2022 Subaru Ascent that...

- There are some slight differences between the Draw-Tite # 76253 and the Curt # C25VR, but it's mostly down to the quality of the powder coat on the two hitches. The powder coating on the Curt hitches is traditionally applied a bit thicker and is a better quality, in my opinion. This is going to translate to less dings and scratches and generally means that the hitch is going to be less susceptible to corrosion over the long term, so I do recommend going with the Curt # C25VR hitch for your...

- The Malone Runway Max Bike Rack part # MAL72VR and Thule Camber 4 Bike Rack part # TH9056 are both great options and have very similar features such as a folding/tilting design, anti-rattle hitch pin, 1-1/4" to 2" adapter, and anti-sway cradles to name a few. That said, the Camber is a more refined option with better appearances. The frame straps use a ratcheting mechanism so they are much easier to use than the ones on the Runway and the tilting mechanism is a single latch so no dealing...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between the Curt and etrailer Hitches for a 2022 Subaru Ascent
- The difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch # C25VR and etrailer Trailer Hitch # e55ZR for your 2022 Subaru Ascent is that the Curt has the classic glossy black finish while the etrailer has a newer matte black finish. I personally like the matte black design better because it blends in better with the trim on your vehicle and does a better job at fighting damage from road debris than the glossy finish does.
If you were planning on using this for a bike rack then I recommend checking...

- The benefits of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76253 that fits your 2019 Subaru Ascent Touring are that it has a concealed crosstube and also that it has a 750 lb tongue weight, which is the highest capacity tongue weight for any hitch that fits your vehicle. That said, the tongue weight will not come into play when you are using your bike rack and it is unlikely to be a factor for a tent trailer.
The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13400, which will also fit a Touring model of '19 Ascent, has a...

- We offer two primary types of hitch for your 2020 Subaru Ascent. One installs so that the receiver tube sits up against the underside of he back bumper fascia with most of the hitch being visible from the rear of the vehicle. The other type would utilize the removable knockout in the bumper fascia and would be much more concealed. The knockout panel can be reinstalled when the hitch isn't in use.
For the fully exposed type hitch I'd go with the etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e35ZR....

view full answer... - Does Install of Curt Hitch on 2021 Subaru Ascent Void Warranty
- The warranty of your 2021 Subaru Ascent will not be voided as a result of installing the Curt Hitch # C25VR because of the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act (P.L. 93-637). The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act in short states that manufactures cannot void the entire warranty of a vehicle simply because they installed an aftermarket component. I do however recommend you look this up for yourself though to be safe.

- The difference between the Curt # C25VR and etrailer # e55ZR trailer hitches for your 2022 Subaru Ascent is that the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish that is a bit more robust than the Curt. The matte black finish does a better job at matching black trim on vehicle as well as hiding scratches that might happen from road debris hitting the hitch.
Attached is an installation video of the etrailer hitch on a 2021 Ascent for you to check out. The installation will be the exact same...

- Yes, both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13400 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76253 are confirmed to fit your 2020 Subaru Ascent and are both rated to tow 5,000 lbs. The main reason for their very different designs is the final look once the hitches are installed.
The installation of the # 76253 hitch is more involved, requiring temporary removal of the bumper/fascia and permanent removal of the impact structure, which is then replaced by the hitch itself. After...
