Is Installation of etrailer Hitch the Same as Curt Hitch for 2023 Subaru Outback
Question:
Is the installation process for the etrailer hitch the same as the Curt hitch for a 2023 Outback? Looks like they're about the same thing.

Expert Reply:
Yes, the installation process as well as the design of the hitch is identical for the 2023 Subaru Outback. The only difference between the Curt # C67JR and etrailer # e25TR is the finish. The Curt hitch has a glossy finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black powder coat finish. The matte black gives it more of an OEM look. It also does a better job hiding dirt and scratches. It is for that reason that I would recommend the etrailer hitch over the Curt with the glossy finish.
I have attached installation videos for both the Curt and etrailer hitch for your reference.
