Are Fishwires Included with Curt Hitch Receivers for 2018 Subaru Outback

Question

Question:

I am going to purchase a Curt trailer hitch for a 2018 Subaru Outback and in your video showing installation there were some fishwires used to pull the bolts to the proper location. Are the fishwires included with the hitch? Thank you.

There are 2 Curt trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2018 Subaru Outback; the Class II, part # C12136 and the Class III, part # C13206. Both require the fishwire technique for installation and both also include 2 fishwires for this.

I've also attached install videos and the install details of both hitches.
