There are two different 7-way trailer wiring harnesses for a 2019 Subaru Ascent dependent on whether or not you have the factory tow package. If you do have the factory tow package then you should be using the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118290, not the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7. If you found a plug under the dash for the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3062-P then you have the factory... view full answer...
The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR can definitely be installed on your 2021 Subaru Ascent, but how it hooks up to your vehicle will depend on how it came wired from the manufacturer.
If you have the factory tow package, the install will be quick and easy. The Tekonsha Harness # 3062-P will allow you to plug directly into a port under the dash, and the # 331-TPH-017 will then adapt that harness to attach directly to the # RED44FR controller. There is not currently... view full answer...
I did some research and did find a way to turn it off, but there is not a way to calibrate the system to recognize "common" items and this will need to be done every time the vehicle is restarted.
With that said, what you need to do is when you put the vehicle in reverse, the camera will appear on your dash monitor. In the lower right hand corner of said monitor, you will see a green P with several curved lines radiating out from it and ON directly underneath it. All you need to do is... view full answer...
The location to plug the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter part # 3062-P is just above the driver's side kick panel just behind the hood release latch mounting block. It will be wrapped in black (most often) tape to keep it clean and free of debris. It will be taped up to another main harness and this is likely causing your issue. Please see the attached photo for the exact location. view full answer...

To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # RED44FR on your 2022 Subaru Ascent with factory tow package, you will also need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Dual Plug In # 3062-P.
The # 3062-P is a plug-and-play wiring adapter and will plug into brake controller port underneath your dash. Then you will just need to mount the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite to complete the installation.
I have included the installation... view full answer...
According to the instructions for the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3062-P for your Prodigy P3 # 90195 the plug should be located up under your driver's side dash by the left side kick panel (see attached photo).
The wring adapter doesn't come with a fuse as it has a ground wire and the OEM factory tow package wiring should be protected. If you didn't have factory tow package wiring then you need to hardwire the P3 in and you would use a 30A circuit breaker from the battery to the... view full answer...
Yes, we have an adapter that you can use with the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR to plug in under the dash of your 2022 Subaru Ascent with tow package. You will want to pick up the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3062-P and the Redarc Tow-Pro Wiring Adapter for Tekonsha Brake Controller Harness # 331-TPH-017. The # 3062-P adapter will plug into the Liberty using the # 331-TPH-017 and then into the port under your dash just like you were... view full answer...
I have not had this issue pop up before and the Curt Echo # C51180 controller does require input for it to signal the brakes on the trailer to actuate. There will be absolutely no way for this to self actuate on its own.
With the accelerometer being set from Curt, there will not be a way to change how it activates, unfortunately. If this is a negative for you, I do recommend going with a hardwired option, which I actually prefer anyway.
With that being said, I highly recommend the Redarc... view full answer...
It's true that a high-low adapter, like the Roadmaster # RM-076, will help reduce the height of the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 but the problem you're then looking at is the weight capacity of your hitch receiver is cut in half so if you're weight capacity is 350 lbs of tongue weight it'll be reduced to 175 lbs. This is due to moving the weight further back from your hitch so it amplifies the weight (think of it like a seesaw).
Gen-Y is the only high-low adapter system that doesn't have... view full answer...
Yes, if you add the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 to your 2021 Subaru Ascent's raised factory rails, you will still be able to operate your sunroof. I went ahead and attached a video of the crossbars installed on a 2019 Subaru Forester that has similar raised rails as your vehicle.
In order to complete the crossbars system, you will also need the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails # RRSX100. These legs will give you attachment... view full answer...
To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite brake controller, part # RED44FR, in your 2019 Subaru Ascent you need to find the white connector with the standard red, white, blue, black wires coming out of it behind a kick panel to the left of the driver. The picture I attached shows the location.
Use part # 3062-P to plug into that white connector to install and use the Redarc controller. view full answer...
Due to the thinner gauge wiring of the # 118290 for the 12 volt accessory circuit you'd be limited to the 20 amp charger for your battery. view full answer...
If your 2020 Subaru Ascent has the factory tow package with the factory installed 7-way trailer connector, it will have the factory brake controller connector located above the driver's side kick panel forward of the hood latch as shown in the provided photo. The wiring harness is part # 3062-P.
If your Ascent does NOT have the factory 7-way, you'll need to install a # 118790 wiring harness to provide one. You'd then use the # ETBC7 brake controller wiring kit to install controller. view full answer...
Yes the upright mast of the Swagman Current Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4 and 2 Hitches - Frame Mount # S64678 that you referenced does fold down so it can store in a smaller area. Check out the picture I attached as well as the review video for more info. view full answer...
You are right to be concerned with the integrity of the vehicle's frame when it comes to towing and tongue weight capacities. The towing and tongue weight capacities of a hitch are just what that specific hitch is rated for and does not transfer over to what the vehicle can handle. Subaru lists two different Gross Towing Weight (GTW) and Tongue Weight (TW) capacities based on the model of the Ascent.
Models with air-cooled continuously variable transmission fluid cooler*1: 5,000lbs (2,268... view full answer...
If all of your signals are working there may be no need to connect the wire that is for the 12 Volt trailer power on the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector part # 118290 but I can not advise you to do anything except what is found in their instructions which states to connect the wire. In some cases not only does this wire power the 12 volt connector but may also be used to power the converter taking the excess strain off of your vehicles wiring harness. view full answer...
First off, congratulations on your new vehicle!
Now, to answer your questions:
One of the great features of this controller is that it will automatically adjust your trailer's braking based on deceleration of your Ascent. Once installed, you do not need to adjust the settings on the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 as long as you leave it plugged in. If you unplug the controller, you'll need to go through the initial set-up once again because it assumes the controller... view full answer...
The brake controller that I recommend for your 2022 Subaru Ascent is the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # RED44FR. I recommend the Tow-Pro Elite because it eliminates the bulky brake controller under your dash and has just a knob that mounts on your dash or console.
If you don't have a 7-way plug, the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires # ETBC7 will be the part you need to connect... view full answer...
