I recommend going with the 2" EcoHitch # 306-X7365 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. It allows you to use a wider variety of ball mount options as well as accessories like a bike rack.
I have attached an installation video that you can check out. The installation is identical for both trailer hitches so it is a good reference no matter which way you go.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B because it combines a great look... view full answer...
We have exactly what you are looking for. The EcoHitch part # 306-X7365 is custom fit for your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek and when not in use is totally out of sight as the hitch opening removes from the hitch all together. If you check out the picture I attached you can see that the hitch opening is a separate piece from the cross tube that easily can be removed. It's a threaded bolt that holds the two pieces together that when tight won't rattle at all. I attached an install video for this... view full answer...
I checked out all of the Class III trailer hitch receiver options for your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, and the lightest hitch is a tie between the etrailer # e98912 and the Curt # C13382 with both of them weighing in just over 30lbs.
Both of these hitches have the same 525lb tongue weight rating and 3,500lb trailer weight rating, and have the same hidden crosstube design so you cannot really go wrong with either hitch.
However I do recommend going with the etrailer # e98912 due to its matte... view full answer...
For your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Limited, you should use chains or cable chains only on the front tires of your vehicle not on all 4 wheels. I've attached the page of the online owners manual that states this. Just to clarify, the owners manual states no use of chains and then states you can use cables, so the parsing of terms here an interesting way for them to get around liability for use.
I recommend the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link... view full answer...
For your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek the wiring harness I would recommend is the part # 118467 which is a confirmed fit and because the Tekonsha brand of wiring harnesses has shown to be the most reliable of all of the kits we offer.
It may not seem like it, but storing the trailer wiring on the interior of the vehicle is actually the preferred way. It keeps the connector dry so corrosion doesn't develop and you don't have to worry about debris on the highway damaging it. view full answer...
I feel the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365 is our best receiver for the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. It is the only receiver we have with a removable receiver tube. When removed you will not be able to tell a receiver is even installed as the cross tube is hidden behind the bumper fascia. The receiver tube is easily removed and installed as it only take one bolt.
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467 will provide you a 4-way flat connector. This is the most common connector... view full answer...
I did some research on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek with standard 225/60-17 tires, and I discovered that the owner's manual suggests class-S tire chains installed on the front tires only. It is important to go by the manufacturer's guidelines outlined in the manual to make sure you avoid damage in your vehicle's wheel wells.
With that being said, we always recommend tire chains over tire cables because tire chains ultimately give you more traction on snow/ice. For the tire chains route,... view full answer...
Yakima redesigned their roof racks a few years ago which means what you have now is not adaptable to fit the rails of your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek but I have a very cost effective solution that would still work really great with the Malone part # MPG202. This will give you a square bar roof rack that fits your raised rails at a really great price. view full answer...
You are correct that both 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch hitches are made for your 2018 Crosstrek, but we always recommend going for the 2-inch size for their usually higher weight capacity and broader compatibility with accessories like cargo carriers and bike racks. There are simply more options for these items in the 2-inch size.
I suggest the Draw-Tite 2-inch Class III hitch # 76209 because it offers the highest tongue weight rating of any hitch made for your car, 675-lbs, and because it offers... view full answer...
Yes, I checked with Roadmaster and base plates # 52922-1A will fit the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek but does not include hybrid models. They also note that they only work with models with a manual transmission.
For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2 # RM-520 and for safety cables you can use # RM-643. I have linked a video on the tow bar for you. For lighting you can use a 4-diode kit # RM-15267. Or you could use a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120.
You may also need a high/low adapter... view full answer...
You will indeed need to upgrade the existing Curt 4-Way connector on your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek to a 6- or 7-Way as well as add a brake controller to power the electric brakes on your cargo trailer. I highly recommend using the 7-Way Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L for all the needed wiring to make this happen and the Curt Echo # C51180 to serve as your brake controller.
The wiring kit is designed specifically for vehicles like your Crosstrek that are already equipped with a 4-Way. The 7-Way harness... view full answer...
In order to find the correct Thule AirScreen Fairing for your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek with a factory roof rack, we need to measure the distance between the mounting feet and then select the size closest to that. For example, if the distance between the mounting feet on your roof rack is 48" then we need to use the Thule 44" AirScreen Fairing part # TH82WV.
I have attached a list of the different lengths for the Thule AirScreen Fairing. view full answer...
In regards to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13382 which is a fit for a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube opening is 15". Therefore, if the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler (while level) is 21" then you need a ball mount with a 6" rise. The Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45100 will work for this but you also need a Pin/Clip part # C21500 and Hitch Ball part # 40038. view full answer...
Leaving the Curt LED 4-Way Flat Connector # I26 plugged into a 4-way for an extended period of time would not be an issue at all. Since you used dielectric grease like the part # 11755 you wouldn't have to worry about corrosion either. view full answer...
For your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, I recommend taking a look at the following from Yakima:
- Yakima TimberLine FX Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # Y28UV
These crossbars are able to be locked via Yakima's same key system (SKS) with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07202.
The SKS will keep your roof rack secure as well as your roof mounted accessories like the awning you're wanting to add as well. view full answer...
The best kayak carrier for your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with factory crossbars to carry a pair of kayaks is the Thule Stacker Kayak Carrier System # TH830.
The Stacker # TH830 will comfortably haul a pair of 10' kayaks. It comes with enough tie-down straps and bow/stern tie-downs for both kayaks although you may need Yakima Hood Anchors # Y07416 if your Crosstrek does not have built-in tie-down points. view full answer...
Since you already have a set of Yakima round bars like part # Y00408 all you need to install them on the raised rails of your 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is # Y03536 and # Y33TR and you'd be set! view full answer...
For your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek we have the Malone Roof rack part # MPG202 which has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. This rack would easily have the capacity for a 120 lb boat but you'd also want to check the owners manual of your vehicle to verify that it also has the needed weight capacity. view full answer...
In order to three carry kayaks on a Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack you'll indeed need to use j-style carriers. I recommend the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier part # TH849000 which are folding since they can be mounted in a channel. This will be needed as the Thule TracRac Crossbars are very thick.
In regards to load assist, I would not really have any good options unfortunately. view full answer...
Yes, the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C56040 does fit your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. This also stores in the rear cargo area when not needed so that it won't be exposed to the elements. view full answer...
