Why Is the Curt Hitch for 2018 Subaru Forester Not Compatible with Weight Distribution
Question:
The model #CU64FR states in the specs that it is not compatible with a weight distribution system. What does that mean? What is a weight distribution system?
asked by: Stephen K
Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # CU64FR which is a fit for a 2018 Subaru Forester is indeed incompatible with a weight distribution system. This is a device that is used to help distribute the weight of the trailer across both axles on the vehicle. The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17500 is an example.
The Subaru Forester is a unibody so you would not be able to use a weight distribution system no matter which hitch you choose.
