  • Does Curt 4-Way Wiring Harness For 2022 Subaru Legacy Interfere With Any EyeSight Features
  • Nope, none of the EyeSight features on your 2022 Subaru Legacy will be interfered with whatsoever when installing the Curt 4-way wiring harness that fits, which is the following part number: - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C79CR The Curt # C79CR plugs into the taillights on your Subaru so it knows when to activate the turn and brake signals on your trailer, but that's all it does; the 4-way won't have an affect on any part of your electrical...

  • Will RockyMounts WestSlope 2 Bike Rack Fit 2019 Subaru Legacy with Curt Hitch Installed
  • Thank you for the picture of the Curt hitch # C12290 you have installed on your 2019 Subaru Legacy. Based on that we know that the RockyMounts WestSlope 2 Bike Rack # RKY10222 will easily fit as there's plenty of clearance on this rack to clear the rear bumper.

  • Radial Trailer Tire and Wheel with Speed Rating Higher Than 65 MPH
  • You didn't say the tire size you need but you looked at a 145/80-12 size tire. We have similar sizes with a higher speed rating but all of our 145/80-12 size tires have a 65 mph speed rating. Instead, take a look at a 5.30-12 or a 4.80-12 size tire. The former is about a half inch larger in diameter and the latter is about an inch smaller. You also didn't specify a wheel type or bolt pattern. The one you asked from was a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. All of our tire and wheel combos of those...

  • Where is Stoplight Circuit Switch on 2011 Subaru Legacy for Brake Controller Install
  • Use a circuit tester like the part # PTW2993 to test the wires that run to the brake light switch you have found till you find one that has voltage only when the brake pedal is pushed. This is the correct circuit to tap into for the red wire of your brake controller install.

  • Location of the Trailer Wiring Connector on a 2002 Subaru Legacy Outback Wagon
  • On the 2002 Legacy Outback Wagon the wiring harness is sometimes hard to find. For some reason it gets routed differently and can be in the spare tire well, up along the back near the bottom of the rear seat or under the rear panel nearest the hatch. I spoke to our installation technician and he said that he removes all of the panels and follows the vehicle wiring harness along until he comes across the connector. It is there you just have to search for it. Our instructions are correct...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2015 Subaru Legacy
  • I see the vehicle you entered is a 2015 Subaru Legacy. The Curt hitch part # C12108. This hitch is designed to fit Toyota Rav4 for 2006 through 2018. That hitch weighs in at about 26-lbs. If you are looking at the trailer hitch for a 2015 Legacy I recommend the Draw-Tite, part # 75673. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. I recommend the Class lll hitch because it is much more versatile than the Class ll hitch, part # 36493. A 2-inch receiver has many more...

  • Subaru Legacy 2004 Snow Chain Recommendation
  • The best way to determine what axles of your vehicle should have snow chains installed on them is to check the owners manual of your 2004 Subaru Legacy to see what they recommend and if there are any restrictions. Having chains on all wheels is ideal though as that will give you the best traction for stopping, turning, and accelerating. You don't want to run chains on dry pavement ever. That will wear them out very quickly and will damage the road. Chains typically have a speed rating...

  • How Far Below Vehicle Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36493 Sit On 2017 Subaru Legacy
  • I went out to the warehouse to take a look at the Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch # 36493 referenced in your question. I measured a distance of right at 9 inches from the top of the bracket where it will mount to the vehicle to the bottom of the receiver. You can take this measurement down from the frame rails on your 2017 Subaru Legacy to see exactly where the receiver will sit when installed. I have also attached an image of this hitch installed on the 2016 Legacy so you can get a better...

  • Where is the Wiring Harness Connector for Installing Trailer Wiring in a 2007 Subaru Legacy
  • On the 2007 Legacy Outback Wagon the wiring harness used to install the # 118461 is sometimes hard to find. For some reason it gets routed differently and can be in the spare tire well, up along the back near the bottom of the rear seat or under the rear panel nearest the hatch. I spoke to our installation technician and he said that he removes all of the panels and follows the vehicle wiring harness along until he comes across the connector.

  • How to Change my Thule T2 Bike Rack from a 2-Inch to a 1/1/4 Inch Receiver for my 1998 Subaru Legacy
  • Since there isn't any 2-inch trailer hitch receivers that are a fit for your 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback, you could use the adapter such as # HTAD. Although there are adapters available, we typically don't recommend them because they reduce the TW capacity of the hitch by half. If you don't have a hitch quite yet, the trailer hitch I recommend for your 1998 Subaru Legacy is the Class-II Curt # C12270. The maximum gross trailer weight is 3,500 pounds and maximum tongue weight is 300 pounds....

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2024 Subaru Legacy
  • Congrats on the new vehicle! To add a hitch to your 2024 Subaru Legacy, I recommend the etrailer item # e25TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the etrailer Hitch item # e25TR because it mounts behind your Legacy's rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but helps with ground...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2 Kayaks on a 2016 Subaru Legacy
  • For a square bar roof rack you can use the Rhino Rack roof rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK416 that you referenced. I really like the Rhino Rack roof racks as they are great racks at a very affordable price. Then for a kayak carrier the Thule Hullaport part # TH834 would carry each of your kayaks and would work well on the square bars of the Rhino Rack. You would need one carrier for each kayak. Be sure to check the roof capacity of your vehicle and...

  • Roof Rack For 2016 Subaru Legacy
  • Yes, you are correct! The best option is to install a new compete roof rack. Because installing the factory rack from the Mazda 5 on your Subaru may be a more difficult install than what I can provide you, and also the rack may not even fit since it's not meant for the Subaru. The Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # RR37XR is affordable and gives the appearance of a factory installed roof rack after install. It features integrated locks that deter theft. This quiet, aerodynamic...

  • Does Installation of Trailer Hitch on 2017 Subaru Legacy Require Heat Shield to be Trimmed
  • The installation of a trailer hitch on your 2017 Subaru Legacy will require the trimming of the heat shield. I have added a cut out of the linked instructions of Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36493 that fits your '17 Legacy so you can see what will need to be trimmed. It is a small part of the heat shield that needs to be trimmed and I have not heard of any type of sound proofing being compromised due to this trimming. I have added a link to a video of Draw-Tite hitch # 36493 being installed...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2014 Subaru Legacy
  • I do have an option for you, however the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12290 referenced in your question is not confirmed to fit your 2014 Subaru Legacy. This particular hitch is designed for certain model year Subaru Outback Wagons, as you noted, and it will also fit 2015-2018 models of the Subaru Legacy. It looks like there was a generation change after 2014 on the Legacy and the differences in the rear frame on the new generation allow this hitch to fit, but it will not work...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1998 Subaru Legacy GT and Yamaha YZ250 Dirt Bike Motorcycle
  • For your 1998 Subaru Legacy GT, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12270 is the best hitch option you have for tongue weight and is a 1-1/4 inch receiver. We don't have a motorcycle carrier for that size receiver, so I recommend using the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs # C18110. Then you can use the Erickson Motorcycle and ATV Tie-Downs w Soft Ties and TCS Buckles - 1"x6' - 400 lbs - Qty 2 # EM05729 to secure your bike to the carrier. You may want...

  • Replacement Hardware for Old Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier
  • The Replacement Carriage Bolt M6 x 65 # 915-066-554 are 65 mm in length which is 2.559 inches so these are the length you need. You may also want the Replacement Metal Bracket for Thule Roof Mounted Carriers # 853-5513 and the Replacement 3-Wing, Low M6 Hand Knob for Thule Roof Mounted Carriers # 753-0783.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2016 Subaru Legacy
  • We have a great solution for carrying two kayaks with a Rhino Rack roof rack installed on your 2016 Subaru Legacy like the part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK416. For that we have the Yakima # Y04073 which would fit and work well. It would get a little sketchy trying to fit two kayaks on the roof of your vehicle with foam block roof rack carriers.
