Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. Connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.The wiring, platform, and hitch fit with no issues. A couple of brackets had to be removed but my car service guy said it was no problem. My only problem is I still need a pick up truck. The set up is good for small light loads but my Subaru is just too light weight.
The trailer wiring harness was perfect for my Subaru! It was easy to install and worked correctly.
It helps a lot to read the directions. Well made product and worked perfect first time connected.
True plug and play! Video was great except my harness was on the driver side of my 08 outback not the passenger side.
Worked out great, installed on wife's 09 Outback and not mods needed, direct install just like described.
I'll start off and say that this product looks and feels five star, but I'm docking it one because the installation docs and video are very mismatched and conflictive. The one-page paper installation doc was barely applicable, while the video was much, much better. Use it!
Pulling out the few pieces of the car necessary to gain access to the OEM plug was relatively easy. Where things got messy was where to actually put the "control" block for this thing. The video shows a self-adhesive backing which was not present. There are included zip-ties but no really good place to use them. I didn't want to leave it loose in there to become yet another rattle in the car, so I ended up securing it with that foil tape used for duct-work. It seems to have done the trick.
Routing the cable was easy, and I dropped it under the spare tire and through a grommet, resealing it with silicone when I was done. I'd have loved to see some kind of cable management included for under the car and around the hitch, rather than the four independent wires being just ad-hoc wrapped around things.
Electrical testing worked flawlessly, and all outputs were signaling correctly.
Great product. This took under 5 minutes to install. The Forester 2006 had the electrical connector under the floor tray on the passenger side at the very rear under the taillight hidden by a plastic flap. Lift up flap, plug in, then snug the hardware into the side well.
You can run the wire and trailer connector through the 1" hole at the rear of the wheel well capped by a large rubber plug so the wire disappears under the spare.
Box arrived with a couple holes torn and hitch hanging out one corner, but l accepted it hoping for the best. Installed hitch and wiring harness by myself in about 2 hours from start to finish... probably could have done it faster with help, starting the bolts was frustrating but doable nonetheless. Product seems well made, no complaints there. Dealing with Etrailer has been a good experience so far and will most likely be a returning customer.
Attached pic of hitch hiding under bumper, just how l like it!
Product, shipping, website, return policy all were perfect. Will for sure use this site in the future. Only reason i didn't give it full excellent review was because I found my hitch cheaper two on 2 other sites. That being said those sites didn't have the amount of reviews etrailer did which further explained the ease of install by customers....and gave me that desired warm and fuzzy feeling when ordering from the World Wide Web :)
Wiring installation instructions complete with pictures made me feel like superman with a phd. Well done etrailer. Well done.
Great internet service, good customer service, great experience will use this company in the future for sure !
I'm used to the pain of wiring small trailers but this harness makes it pretty idiot proof. Find the plug-in on the vehicle, plug it in, install fuse, fish the plug through the spare tire area and boom. Easy peasy! I haven't checked it to verify it works but I'm guessing it does. Thanks Etrailer!
quick install, and worked well! So much easier than trying to freestyle the wiring.
Easy peasie is what this is. Quick connect inside vehicle makes it easy and the videos are great too. Thanks again
just what it was supoded to be.nice clean uneventfull install and it works great.instructions were spot on.pictures on instructions could be clearer but were goodenough.would buy this product again.
Shipped on time as advertised and complete. Instructions were well written and accurate for hitch itself, but missing a couple steps for the electrical connector kit, (as for taking apart the car trim) so took some time to figure out. (The instructions were from the manufacturer and not etrailer.com itself). Connector worked fine on installation.The fit of the hitch was very precise, so precise that at first I thought it wasn't the right model. But I persevered, and it did fit. The close and precise fit is appreciated, it should help eliminate possible looseness, rattling, and weakness. This is my third Curt hitch from etrailer.com on 3 different cars. I would definitely buy from them again.

These are not the first Curt products I ordered from Etrailer. After a year, I have no complaints about the products, and certainly none about Etrailer. I find the Curt products well designed in form, fit, and durability, and etrailer a fast and efficient way to order them.
2008 Outback
Wires are good quality. Instructions could be a lot better. "remove left and center black plastic, after locating wire..." The words "wire connector located just forward of left tail light assembly would of been better than all of the instructions given. The plastic on the side goes from the tailgate past the back seat and you don;t need to remove it. You only have to remove a screw in the corner but I had no idea which panel it was behind, center or left towards the front back or middle. Step 2 for outback refers to fig A but mine looks nothing like it, mine looks like fig C.
They also say Tools needed : phillips screw driver. That's it. And step 2 they talk about using a pry tool.
The kit also includes a grounding electrical connector, a electrical splice fitting and a self tapping sheet metal screw with no reference as to what to do with them.
Spending ten minutes to write some instructions would make this about perfect.

I use this frequently and have had no problems with it.
Complete kit,easy installation. The wiring harness connected directly to the auxiliary wiring found in the left rear inside pockect of our 08 subaru Outback. All lights on our 2 trailers worked the very first time . We've had this kit for a little over a year, With zero problems. Many thanks to Curt for quality product. Also many thanks to etrailer.com (Laurae) for their fast friendly service.

Its a great product. Still performs flawless after thousands of trailer hookups.
Plugged it in, i have lights!! My 02 Forester came with a harness, but when i plugged it into my trailer there were no lights on the right side. I emailed George, got some very helpful diagnostic help, and determined the old harness was faulty. Ordered the new one, plugged it in, viola...good as new :) cant say enough good things about etrailer.com, but i will add that EVERY online business should operate this way.

Hello, and thanks for following up after the 1st year has elapsed.Product still works great. Etrailer has a customer for life in me, I remain impressed with my experience there :
This harness replaced a Draw-Tite one that failed after about 4 years of occasional use. I'm hoping this one, with revised circuitry, lasts longer. It was trivial to install, as it has the correct pin connector for my Forester. In contrast to the previous harness, it has a dust cover and a 10 amp fuse. It worked fine on a 200+ mile drive (including the load for a camera I use for a rearview in my travel trailer).

This harness still works perfectly. Like others who bought it, I keep the wiring inside my forester when not in use, rather than mounting the external portion of the connector to the receiver hitch.
Product arrived on time and was very easy to install. My hook up was right where "etrailer" said it would be and the video made it as simple as plug and play. I hooked it up the day I received it and within 17 minutes I was loading my trailer with deer stands and heading to the woods. The product was perfect in function, price and ease of install. Will definitely use "etrailer" again.
Thank you, John

Still working like new.
The curt trailer wire harness is perfect for 2009 subaru outback. thanks so much for info and product. I will buy additional harnesses as backup for our other cars since my 2009 connector broke at an inconvenient time.

Curt trailer wire harness is still excellent after 1 year.
The wiring harness/trailer plug worked great, no problems except for the installation instructions. I had to look elsewhere for instruction on how to get to my particular vehicle's built-in plug. The included instructions were not wrong, just too vague. A link to a website with more specific instructions would have been nice. Delivery was quick.

It works perfectly, no problems at all.
So far everything worked out. Shipment took 3 days instead of 2, but was happy as many packages were delayed longer because of the storm. Thank you for getting it out the same day as I ordered.
Installation went well and was just as your video described. Will test it this afternoon when I pick up the trailer. Even in 10 deg F weather, the installation went very easy. Good thing, finger tips were cold!

Worked out great. used it about 5 times so far. Easy to use, and easy to install.
Worked perfectly with my 2002 Outback wagon and Uhaul trailers. On this model, the harness attachment is found in the back underneath the carpeting and foam over the passenger side wheel well.

Still works as advertised
Product seems correct but it was shipped in the same box as the trailer hitch with no packing material and the box the wiring came in was smashed by the hitch and it’s contents were scattered inside the shipping box.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom wiring harness. T-One connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required.Excellent product as usual from etrailer. This is probably the third wiring adapter I’ve brought from etrailer & they’re always plug & play. The only thing that varies is where the connector is located in the vehicle. Luckily Subaru places them in an easy to reach location. Out new 2022 Outback was the easiest yet. The instructions say to “Store the 4-Flat connector in the spare tire compartment when not in use”. I don’t like the idea of it being closed in the tailgate when in use so I run it through an oval I cut in the spare tire well using a grommet and silicone sealant to ensure it says water tight. The extra wiring is secured to the back side of the bumper and just enough lead hanging out to connect to my utility trailer.

It’s been a year now and it still works like a charm with NO issues
The product was boxed well and was the easiest thing to install! I purchased the wiring harness along with the trailer hitch. The trailer hitch was a little cumbersome but I was able to do the whole thing by myself. This is the second hitch/harness I have purchased from etrailer and I have had great success with both!

After a year and pulling many loads, both heavy and light, this set-up is still top notch. Everything is working great. I don’t believe there’s a simpler way to go about installing your own wiring harness.
I wish that all of the companies that I deal with were as easy to work with! The staff is exceptional,making purchases a simple transaction. The install video was spot on made using my year and model of vechicle. The car to trailer wiring that I purchased is very well made and works perfectly. Thank you Etrailer.com for a simple transaction, I will be shopping with you again.
The installation was quick and easy thanks to the online video and it tested ok.

The wiring harness has been working perfectly
Very nice quality hitch and wiring harness. 24 Subaru Crosstrek. Easy half hour install on the hitch and 10 minute plug and play on the trailer harness. Very helpful folks at etrailer and super fast shipping
Hitch came in great shape! Got the car apart the fist time and the hardware was wrong??. I called customer service and they shipped me the right one very quickly. Hitch went on easily with minor issues. The trailer harness was literally a plug in job works perfect. On the Subaru wilderness I was able to use a straight hitch. Over all very pleased.
Looks good; not installed yet, which will be easy with the quick connector mated to the one provided in the vehicle.

It works fine in our 2019 Outback. It takes patience to fish out the vehicles installed connector if you dont want to remove the interior panel, risking damage to clips, fasteners, etc. But once done, its out of sight, out of mind, and most importantly, out of the way!
Installing this was SO EASY. I am not an electrician or a mechanic and have never modified any car before, but watching the installation video on the website was super helpful and I pretty much couldn't have done it without the video! I installed this in 30 minutes. I bet a person could do it even faster than that if they were more experienced than I am!
Installed hitch and wiring all went as expected a smooth easy install, everything works as advertised , the you tube video made the installation easy and the instructions were clear and understandable. We enjoy E-Trailer , will be ordering again soon . Thanks David
Easy to install with, E trailer instalation videos. Used for a small utility trailer many times over the last year with no problems.
Appears to be of quality construction. Plugs right into connector. Would be super if the flat 4pin plug would fit through round body plug! Not the fault of part!
Very easy install the wiring kit on 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. I watched the e-trailer video first, ordered the part and trim tool in the video. It took 15 minutes to install.
I purchased this hitch and a wiring harness for my Subaru Crosstrek to haul a small aluminum boat. The installation of the hitch was fairly easy, the lighting harness was easier!
I am quite pleased with the product and would recommend it to friends.
I bought a Curt hitch for my Subaru Outback to allow me to mount a bike rack on it. Therefore I didn't think I'd need the tail light kit when I had it installed. I was wrong.
So adding the light kit later I wanted to install myself if possible. The guys at etrailer.com were great. The kit I thought I needed wasn't quite right for my needs, and they guided me to the proper model. It was inexpensive and easy to install-way easier than I ever imagined. The videos on-line clearly showed to process, and I think I got a professional looking job. Kudos to the etrailer team.
he module in the middle was smaller than my last replacement, which failed (my Forester is getting old and I had a water leak that gets into the area where the module sits, which has since been sealed). The output wires leading to the 4-pin connector are labeled with their function, which helped me splice the existing wiring to the 4-pin connector, since the new harness has no body grommet under the spare tire, and it didn’t appear to be a standard grommet – I realize that would make the part unreturnable, but that was not an issue for me in this case. The bottom line is that the Subaru harness is a lot more expensive, and serves the same purpose, as this one, and the only thing the Subaru harness would add would be that grommet under the spare tire.
Fits great under my 2022 Subaru outback. It is hardly noticeable. I definitely would recommend this hitch. Great product for the price.
2020 Subaru Outback XT. Easy to install. Used some silicone sealant to secure the module where it would be out of the way and not liable to be damaged. Works well.
well haven't put it in yet but the video tells me it should not be hard. I know i did the trailer hitch for my subaru forester that went easy.

Awesome
Best price; best hitch for my vehicle; website easy to navigate and order; excellent diy installation videos; my shipping was free and received my order quickly.
The most difficult part of installing this trailer wiring kit was removing all of the junk I accumulated in my rear compartment to access the connector harness.
Once I did it only took like 3 minutes to completely install and put the floor back in place.
It works flawlessly, but here's a little hint - do not allow your trailer 4-pin connector to be stored outside without a rubber insulating boot on ot to prevent corrosion or wasps from making a mud nest inside it. I use aluminum foil wrapped around in and dielectric grease.
Hope this helps.
Perfect fit and no issues. Online videos are great and make installation easy.
The installation process was fast and exactly the way it was described. The wiring harness is exactly as explained and there is plenty of length. It’s perfect for my homegrown jet ski trailer that needed a longer connection. After a year it still looks new.
the wiring harness is working well. Spends a lot of time riding around since our towed vehicle is continually used. Initial setup was daunting but we have a great installer Terry's Auto in Fullerton, Ca.
This harness was easy to install and after a year, still works great! I chose not run this under the car. I just run it out of the hatchback when needed. This was easier to install and I don't use it that often so it meets my needs.
Easy install with the included instructions. Works as advertised. Exactly what I was looking for!
