Question

Question:

Can you verify the fitment of the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # HM11143865 on a 2021 Crosstrek? I have one on mine and would like to install one on my sons cars, but it showing as not a possible fit.

I checked directly with Hopkins and part you mentioned does not fit the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek, it is for certain model year Forester and Outbacks. So long as your son's '21 Crosstrek is NOT the hybrid version, the correct wiring harness is the following:

- Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Connector # HM11143885

If he does have a hybrid the only option to install a trailer wiring harness is a hardwire kit, the Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496.
