• Trailer Hitch for 2012 Subaru WRX With Receiver That Fits Through Cutout in Bumper Fascia
• When installed, the Curt # C11317 receiver tube would sit right under the bottom edge of the rear bumper fascia. It would not use the cutout in the bumper cover. We do offer a hitch that would install in that manner, though. The EcoHitch # 306-X7279 would indeed install so that the receiver would fit through the cutout you describe. The hitch also includes a magnetic cover that would conceal the receiver opening when the hitch isn't being used. For a trailer wiring harness, you'll want...

• 1-1/4 Inch EcoHitch InvisiHitch for 2015 Subaru Impreza
• We do indeed offer the EcoHitch X7212, which we offer as part # EH22RR which is compatible with the 5 door wagon Impreza models with a single exhaust and the knockout panel on the rear bumper face. If you'll be using the hitch for light duty towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118573, a ball mount like # 3592 and # 19256 for a 1-7/8 or # 19258 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

• Can a 2015 Subaru Impreza Tow a Small 1,460 lb Tent Trailer
• According to my research you can safely tow a 1,460 lb trailer with your 2015 Subaru Impreza as long as that trailer has brakes that you're able to activate. I recommend checking to verify this in your copy of the owner's manual or with your local Subaru dealer prior to towing though. It's kind of a toss-up on whether or not a trailer that light will have brakes so I recommend checking on that first, and then installing the following parts if you don't already have wiring and a brake controller...

• Availability of 2 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2009 Subaru Impreza
• For your 2009 Subaru Impreza you will need to use a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver as there have been no 2 inch options manufactured. For a 2 inch hitch receiver you would have to get it custom made. From the options that we have to choose from, your hitch receiver will depend on your model. Part # DT24959 will fit a 5-door wagon with single exhaust, part # C11317 will fit a sedan. Neither option is a confirmed fit for a WRX STi though. You can use a hitch expander, like the Brophy # HTAD,...

• Once you've installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11286 on your 2012 Subaru Impreza you can add a ball mount and hitch ball to tow a trailer. Before you select a ball mount you'll want to make sure you know the rise or drop you'll need with your trailer. I've linked an article to help you determine what you need. I've also linked our selection of Class I ball mounts for you to look at once you know what you need. Then you'll need a hitch ball. Your trailer's coupler probably...

• Class II Ball Mount with Highest Rise Available for a 2018 Subaru Impreza
• The Class II ball mount we carry that's closest to the 7 inch rise you need is part # C45014. However, it only offers 5 inches of rise. I've also attached our article on determining the amount of rise you need. You want to measure from the ground to the top of inside of your hitch receiver on your Subaru. Then compare that measurement with the distance from the ground to the underside of your trailer's coupler. The difference is the amount of rise you need. Just make sure both are...

• What Trailer Hitch Will Fit My 2005 Subaru Impreza
• When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2005 Subaru Impreza I recommend The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11497.

• What Roof Rack do You Recommend for My 2018 Subaru Impreza with Fixed Mounting Points?
• I have a roof rack solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Malone that there is no foot pack available to attach the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG216 to your fixed mounting points on your 2018 Subaru Impreza. This is because the AirFlow2 can only attach to raised factory rails. However, we do have an option that is engineered to fit your fixed mounting points: - Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 47" # TH712200 - Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point # TH460R -...

• What Base Plates and Wiring are Needed for Towing a 1993 Subaru Impreza
• Yes, the RoadMaster XL kit, part # 909-1, will fit your 1993 Subaru Impreza. There are two methods for setting up lights on a towed vehicle. You can use temporary kits, usually magnetic, that will add a light fixture to the car. These kits are favored by those that do not want to do the wiring otherwise involved. Custer Magnetic Tow Light Kit, part # RM-2120 is our best selling magnetic kit. I have added a link to all of them below. If you would prefer to hard-wire the Impreza, you would...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for Towing Small Rental Trailer With 2008 Subaru Impreza
• I'm seeing conflicting information regarding towing with a 2008 Subaru Impreza. Online searches seem to agree that the 2008 Impreza can tow 1200kg, or about 2600 lbs if the trailer has brakes. The owner's manual bluntly states that the car isn't intended to be used as a towing vehicle and lists no capacity. I'd recommend checking with a Subaru dealer for clarification. My suspicion is that the the 1200kg towing capacity I found refers to vehicles outside the US. This wouldn't be the first...

• How to Install Thule Hull-A-Port T-Slot Kayak Carrier on a 2020 Subaru Impreza
• The Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # TH849000 is a model specifically designed to mount into T-Slot channels on crossbars so since your OEM 2020 Subaru Impreza crossbars don't have this your only option is to install aftermarket crossbars that do have the T-Slots, and for that I recommend the Malone roof rack: - Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 This is a cost-effective solution to your problem which is why I recommend it. This system is a bit more clunky than you'll...

• Flat Tow and Trailer Tow Wiring Recommendations for a 2008 Subaru Impreza
• The wiring kits used for flat towing are designed to receive signals while the wiring for trailer towing is designed for sending signals. For your 2008 Subaru Impreza I recommend using the Tow Ready Tail Light Isolating Diode System # TR118821 for your flat tow wiring and then the Curt # C56111 is you have a 5-Door Wagon or the Curt # 56061 if you have a Sedan for your trailer wiring. The Tow Ready wiring will splice into your OEM wiring while the Curt options tee in behind your tail lights...

• Are Extended Exhaust Hangers Needed to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2005 Subaru Impreza
• You should not have to replace any of the exhaust hangers on your 2005 Subaru Impreza to install Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11497. But if you feel that you need to you will need to wait and see how much space there is, or isn't, available to get the right length hangers. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you plan on doing some towing you will need ball mount # 3593. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a...

• Trailer Hitch Fit for 2014 Subaru Impreza 5-Door Hatchback
• As long as your 2014 Subaru Impreza isn't a WRX or WRX STi model (and it sounds like it isn't), the Curt # C11286 is the correct fit. If you DO have the WRX or WRX STi, you'd then need the # C11120. If you'll be doing some light duty towing, you'll also need the # 118573 for the non-WRX models or # 119250KIT for the WRX and WRX STi. You'll also need the # C45521 ball mount, the # PC2 hitch pin and for a trailer ball, part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 ball or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball.

• Hitch Cargo Carrier to Carry a Wheelchair on a 2013 Subaru Impreza
• The hitch receiver you installed on your 2013 Subaru Impreza is a Class I hitch that has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The Flint Hill Goods Wheelchair Carrier # FHG77ZR fits Class III, 2-inch hitch receivers so it will not fit your hitch receiver. We do offer three cargo carriers that will fit a Class I hitch: Curt # C18145 Curt # C18110 Reese # 63155 Another thing to pay attention to is the weight of the wheelchair you plan to put on the carrier. Many electric wheelchairs weigh a...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback
• There is an adapter to go from Roadmaster base plates to Blue Ox tow bars. However, you will have to use the XL style base plates # 919-1. Then you can use adapter # BX88178. You said you bought the tow bar used, if it did not include the safety cables then you will need to add some using # BX88196. You will also need a lighting solution when flat towing the vehicle. If you will not be towing it very often then I recommend a magnetic kit # RM-2120. But if you want a more permanent solution...
