Is The Installation Process For Curt Hitch # 12047 The Same As Curt Hitch # 13147 To Use Video
Question:
I notice that this hitch is the only one of the 5? available for the 2011 Forester that doesnt have an installation video. Does the one for the other Curt brand hitch apply to this one as well?

Expert Reply:
Yes, the installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 13147, are the same as Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 12047. You can use the video for Curt Hitch # 13147 as reference when installing on your 2011 Subaru Forester. The Curt Hitch # 12047 is a Class II 1-1/4 hitch, and Curt Hitch # 13147 is a Class III 2 inch hitch.
The Curt Hitch # 12047 comes included with a drawbar, pin and clip. To complete your towing setup, you will need the following items:
Tow Ready Wiring, part # 118467
1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball, part # 19256
2 Inch Hitch Ball, part # 19258
I have linked instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 12047 and a video installation of Curt Hitch # 13147 on a 2009 Subaru Forester. Instructions and a video installation are also linked for the Tow Ready Wiring, part # 118467.
