Question:

Expert Reply:
The Class I trailer hitch I suggest for your 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon that is NOT the STi version is Curt # C11497.
Per Curt's warranty policy you need to use a support strap # 18050 for any non-trailer load, such as a Class I bike rack like the Curt # C18085.
For a trailer wiring harness you can use kit # C59496 which is a hardwired type kit. This includes everything needed to install a 4-pole flat trailer plug on your Impreza. For a ball mount use part # C45022 and either 1-7/8-inch ball C40001 or 2-inch ball # A-82.
