Question:
Will the 2016 Curt Hitch fit the 2018 for the Subaru Forester? Looks like it will. Just making sure before purchase.

Expert Reply:
Yes, the same two Curt trailer hitch receivers, part # C12100 for the Class II and part # C13144 for the Class III, that fit a 2016 Subaru Forester also fit the 2018 model year. I've linked videos of both of them being installed for you.
If you already own the hitch and want to move it from the 2016 to the 2018 you need replacement hardware. Use part # RHK and then select Curt and enter the hitch's part number. This will order the exact hardware originally included with the htich.
