Comparing Draw-Tite and Curt Class III Hitch for a 2017 Subaru Forester
Question:
John; Your firm was recommended by two Subaru groups I recently joined after purchasing my first Subaru. A 2017 Subaru Forester with only 16,000 miles. Both groups on FB : Subaru Enthusiasts and 2014-2018 Subaru Foresters recommended your firm and I can see why. The price is great, the quality is there and if this the personalized customer service you provide, I will become another one of your fans/customer. So I will order the Draw Tite along with the j pin. Is there a hitch that does NOT require any cutting/alteration of the rear bumper area? Also my intent is to initially carry bikes/cargo but am thinking of getting a light trailer to take my 800lb motorcycle. Should I be thinking of getting the wiring now and possibly a ball hitch? If these questions have been addressed on your site, please excuse me and direct me to them. Thank You
