Expert Answers about Subaru Ascent


  • Which Trailer Valet RVR3 to Use with 2022 Lance 1475S for Easier Reversing
  • Since the ball mount version of the Trailer Valet RVR3 part # TVRVR3-BB225 attaches to the center of the trailer it's going to be easier to move the trailer in reverse since the frame mounts will be off to one side a little bit which will make it hard to predict when reversing. If that doesn't bother you though the frame mount style part # TVRVR3 would work great too.

  • Comparing the Best Hitches for the 2020 Subaru Ascent
  • The biggest difference between the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" part # 76253 and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" part # C13400 is going to be how they look when installed. The DrawTite has a look extremely similar to the factory style hitch. It sits behind the factory hitch cover and is not visible at all when not in use. The Curt will sit below the rear bumper cover and has an exposed cross tube and receiver tube...

  • Thule Easy Fit Tire Chains that Fit 2021 Subaru Ascent with Tire Size 245/50-20
  • For the tire size of 245/50-20 that you have on your 2021 Subaru Ascent the Thule Easy Fit chains part # TH04115255 are definitely a fit and the best option to go with as they provide excellent traction and install in a matter of seconds. If this is same size tire you have on your Impreza these would also fit but if you have a different size let me know and I'll see which part number you need. I attached an install video for these on a similar Ascent for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Class S Snow Chain or Tire Sock for 2019 Subaru Ascent with 245/60r18 Tires
  • This isn't an uncommon problem to have, and I have the perfect solution for you. Have a look at the ISSE Hybrid Snow Socks - Size 72 # TCH72, which are a Class S compatible and designed with vehicles that have limited wheel well clearance in mind. I prefer these to spring chains since they're easier to install than any type of chains, and they won't damage the vehicle if there is a break like a spring chain potentially could. These socks are DOT compliant in all 50 states, so you'll be...

  • Recommended Parts and Wiring for Adding LED Lights to Aluminum Cargo Carrier with Ramp
  • Thank you for all of the helpful information! I do have a few different options for you to add LED lighting to your scooter carrier. You can definitely use the Optronics Streamline LED Trailer Tail Light # STL79RB with wiring like the Hopkins Endurance # HM38134 by just using heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-5. Since your carrier is aluminum you will need to cut off the eyelet on the ground wire and splice it to the white wire on this harness. The Hopkins wiring harness is only 48"...

  • Light Kit To Illuminate The Yakima License Plate Holder For Bike Racks
  • In order to illuminate the Yakima PlateMate License Plate Holder for Bike Racks # Y02713 I would look into Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB. This LED light kit uses the common 2 wire design; the black wire connects to positive wire and the white wire connects to ground. You may need to use 10 Gauge Primary Wire - Blue # 10-1-1 (sold per foot) in order to run the necessary wiring from your vehicle to the license plate light. I have attached an installation video...

  • Carrying Four E Bikes On A 2019 Subaru Ascent
  • E bikes test the weight limits of many bike platform racks. For example, the Saris MTR Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, can carry heavier bikes in the trays closest to your vehicle, but the maximum weight the trays can hold drops on the two trays furthest from the vehicle. As a result, your e-bikes will be too heavy for the last two trays of this hitch bike rack, even if you do only carry three bikes most of the time. You will still exceed the recommended weight limit....

  • Recommended Cover for a Sunset Park RV Sun-Lite 16BH
  • I looked up the Sunset Park RV Sun-Lite 16BH and the official length is listed at 16' 6" therefore in order to find the correct cover we'll need to subtract 3' for the tongue and round up which means we're looking at a cover for a 14' trailer. I recommend the Adco SFS AquaShed RV Cover part # 290-52238 which will provide excellent protection from the elements including rain and snow. It has a cinching system to provide a tight fit and weighted buckles for easy installation.

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2024 Subaru Ascent
  • I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR as the best option for your 2024 Subaru Ascent. This receiver hides behind your factory removable fascia so when not in use it is completely hidden. The Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040 will give you a 4-way flat connector. This is the most commonly found connector on small utility trailers and will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with your hitch mounted accessories. If you are going to need to a larger trailer with...

  • Recommended 4.80-12 Tires for a Fiber Stream Camper Trailer
  • The Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel part # AM30540 is my recommendation for a Fiber Stream Camper Trailer. This is a pre-mounted combo that comes ready to mount on the trailer. It comes with a bias ply tire which will be fine for this trailer and the only option for this size pre-mounted. It will also have plenty of capacity for the weight without going over and causing a rough ride. They are both (tire/wheel) backed by warranties as well.

  • Can Weight Distribution Hitch Be Used On 2021 Subaru Ascent
  • I do have an option for you buy you cannot use any sort of weight distributing device on a 2021 Subaru Ascent due to the design of the vehicle. Therefore, the only option you have for weight distributing is suspension enhancements for which the only option currently is the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs part # CSS-1094R. These work well and are easy to install. Then for the sway control you can use the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control part # 335TSC-1000 if the trailer has electric...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Thule Camber Bike Rack on a 2020 Subaru Ascent
  • The Thule Camber # TH9056 is a really great option that I know you'll be happy with! The trailer hitch that I recommend using for this application is the Draw-Tite # 76253 because it installs behind your rear bumper which means you can cover it with the rear panel when you aren't using it for a complete OEM look. This hitch is also the most cost-effective when it comes to this style so you are getting the best of both worlds without sacrificing quality. I've attached some pictures and...

  • Hidden Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Subaru Ascent
  • The etrailer hitch part # E55ZR is a great option for a hidden hitch for your 2022 Subaru Ascent. It installs behind a removable panel in the rear fascia of the vehicle. The panel is already on your vehicle and would not require you to source that elsewhere. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

  • Will The CIPA Custom Mirror # CM11401 Fit a 2023 Subaru Ascent?
  • For your 2023 Subaru Ascent you will need to use the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # 7070-2. The CIPA Custom Mirror # CM11401 you found is for a Ram truck and there currently are no custom fit towing mirrors for your Ascent. The CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # 7070-2 use a simple strap system with adjustable arms to conform to your mirrors. This makes them easier to use and with the availability of a replacement Mirror # 7070 and Straps # 11952STRAP you will not have to worry about getting...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2020 Subaru Ascent with Hitch and 4-Way Wiring Connector
  • To add a brake controller to your 2020 Subaru Ascent you'll need the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 and then for the actual brake controller I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR and Pigtail # RED69FR. I really like this controller because the main body of the controller can be installed anywhere in the vehicle so you can place the control knob in a convenient location. This makes it easier to use the controller but also saves on cab space in your vehicle since you don't have...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2023 Subaru Ascent
  • The trailer wiring harness I recommend for a 2023 Subaru Ascent is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56040 which offers a direct plug-in-play fit for an easy install and it comes with the most common type of trailer connector, a four way flat. Please note, the four way flat is used on small and medium sized trailer but if you have a larger trailer with electric brakes then you'll need a few other items as well, a seven way and trailer brake controller. I recommend the...
