Recommended Hitch for 2017 Subaru Forester XT Touring with EyeSight
Question:
Do you have a hitch for a 2017 Subaru Forester XT Touring with EyeSight, Reverse Auto Braking, and Blind Spot monitoring? Subaru themselves do not at this time, claiming a need to redesign their hitch due to all the new ewuipment inside the bumper cover in the 2017.

Great news! The Draw-Tite Class III # 75876 trailer hitch is a fit for all models of the 2017 Subaru Forester, this includes your XT Touring with EyeSight. I have linked an installation video of this hitch for you being installed on a similar vehicle.
A great wiring harness for your 2017 Subaru Forester is the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness # 118467. I've linked an installation of this as well for you to check out.
Other items you will need when towing a trailer is a ball mount and ball. This will depend on the trailer and your vehicle. I have linked a Help Article that will show you how to measure for the right rise or drop to determine the proper ball mount and ball for your vehicle and trailer.
We do offer a common ball mount kit # 989900. We have determined through customers that these are the most common ball mounts and balls purchased. For added security customers will also purchase a hitch lock like # e98880 and a coupler lock like # 2847DAT.
I have linked the above mentioned products as well as some Help Articles for your viewing and purchasing convenience.
