Your 2019 Subaru Ascent with the factory tow package does have wiring ready for the easy install of a brake controller but it does not have a brake controller. For that the P3 part # 90195 is a really great option. All you need to install it is the part # 3062-P which plugs in under the dash of the vehicle and you'd be set. The Coachman Viking would have trailer brakes which is why a brake controller would what you'd need. view full answer...
The assisted kayak carriers are a bit more expensive but you could go with two of the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG113MD which is a fit for your 2019 Subaru Ascent and since the rack is wider it could fit on the opposite ends of the crossbars and have space for both. It's a rear loading assisted setup.
I attached a review video for more info on this carrier for you to check out as well. view full answer...
If the manufacturer of the vehicles states that you can't use a weight distribution system then you should not use it. They designed the frame of the vehicle and are the authority on whether or not it could handle the additional stress of a the system. I'd recommend finding a trailer that is under the towing capacity of your 2019 Subaru Ascent and then installing the Draw Tite hitch part # 76253 you referenced which would give you a 2 inch hitch that fits behind the rear bumper panel.

There are just a couple parts needed in order for you to add a 7-way and brake controller to your 2019 Subaru Ascent.
Because you already have the required 4-way 118790, to add a wireless brake controller, which I strongly recommend due to how very easy they are to use, you'll just need the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L.
This will allow you to use the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.
The Curt Echo will simply plug into the... view full answer...
I'd recommend going with a concealed option like the # 76253 from Draw-Tite. When the hitch isn't needed, it'll be completely concealed behind the center panel in the rear bumper cover. Many folks don't care for the appearance of a trailer hitch such as the Curt # C13400 which will be fully visible below the rear bumper.
If there's a chance you might use the hitch for towing purposes some time in the future, you'd need a few other items to complete your towing system. For a trailer wiring... view full answer...
I do have an option for you, but there is not a version of the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 9-Hole Shank - 10K GTW, 1K TW # BLU87FR you were looking at that includes a 11 hole shank.
To get the 11 hole shank you will need to order it separately using # BLU86FR.
The # BLU87FR does include a pre-installed 2-5/16" hitch ball so you will not need to purchase a hitch ball unless your trailer coupler requires a 2" hitch ball. If you need a 2" hitch ball you will need... view full answer...
I have another option, but while I really wish Thule would offer the 2" shank for your Thule T2 Pro that currently has a 1-1/4" shank, it is not a part that is sold.
The only option to use your Thule T2 Pro in your 2" receiver would be to use the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 which will still be very strong and has been approved by Thule.
If you are worried about any movement in the bike rack I recommend Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061... view full answer...
The assisted loading devices we offer for your 2019 Subaru Ascent like the Rhino Rack # RR-RUSL require aftermarket crossbars installed on the vehicle as none of them are a fit for factory racks. So you'd need to also install the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2 and # RRSX100 as well. Then you can use the mentioned load assist with a carrier such as the Thule Stacker # TH830 which allows carrying all three kayaks up on end. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
We can absolutely get your 2021 Subaru Ascent with raised side rails set up with a roof rack so you can carry a canoe. The rack I recommend for your '21 Ascent is from Rhino-Rack, and is made up of the following parts:
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2
- Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails # RRSX100
There are a couple of reasons why I like this rack set up the best. The first is because Rhino-Rack gives you the best overall value... view full answer...
We don't have a wider bracket than the # RP26005 for your ball mount so the best option we would have would be a new ball mount that has the bracket already attached like the Curt # D320 which has a drop of 2 inches since you aren't wanting to do any welding. view full answer...
I checked with Curt (the manufacturer) about the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C25VR (13348) for a 2022 Subaru Ascent and they indicated it to be a confirmed fit. They also indicated that it is tested for safety in accordance with SAE J684 as with all of their hitches.
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76253 which is the same style of hitch offered by another manufacturer, is tested and in accordance with both V-5 and SAE J684. Therefore, if you are looking for... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
If your trailer does not need a 12 volt accessory circuit then you do not need to run the black wire of the # ETBC7 up to the battery. If all you need are taillight and brake controller functions this circuit does not need to be connected. This circuit is mainly used to charge trailer batteries but not all trailers have batteries. view full answer...
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.... view full answer...
The best option for tow mirrors for a 2019 Subaru Ascent are the CIPA universal mirrors part # 11953-2 as we've had the chance to install and use them on a similar 2020 Subaru Ascent and found the fit well and provided a great view behind the vehicle and trailer thanks to the very stable dual mirror face setup.
Check out the install video I attached and the picture that shows the mirrors installed on a similar Ascent as well. view full answer...
If your tire size is 245/50-20 on your 2019 Subaru Ascent the Titan tire cables part # TC3010 are a fit or if you have the tire size 245/60-18 you'd want the Titan # TC2029. view full answer...
Draw Tite does not offer replacement spring bars for your current weight distribution as all of the replacement parts are no longer available. Only solution would be a new a weight distribution like the Fastway e2 part # FA94-00-0600 which has a similar tongue weight rating of 400-600 lbs. view full answer...
