Trailer Hitch Installation for a 2014 Subaru Legacy

Question:

I have a 2014 Subaru Legacy 4dr Sedan. I am interested in your trailer hitch, but am nervous about installation. Can you recommend any places that can install one near Washington DC, or zip code 22206 ?

The installation of the Draw-Tite # 75673 that you referenced that has been confirmed to fit your 2014 Subaru wouldn't be too difficult but I can understand wanting to have someone else install the hitch for you. However, check out the video link I attached to the right. It shows exactly how this hitch will install on a very similar Legacy as yours.

Any qualified mechanic with a good reputation in your area would have no problem installing this hitch. Compared to what they normally do this would be very basic.

If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included to the right that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would want the # 118511.
