Difference Between Curt & etrailer Trailer Hitches For 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness
Question:
Hi, Im looking for a hitch for my 23 Outback Wilderness. I was interested in the Curt hitch until I saw the Etrailer brand that looks identical. Does it have the same dimensions and does it hang down the same? Thank you

It does have the same dimensions and hangs down the same. There is just a single difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your Outback are the following part numbers:
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25TR
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67JR
The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better than the glossy finish, but if you don't feel strongly either way about the finish, then just go with the best price. Otherwise, these are the exact same hitch with the same 3,500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacities and simple bolt-on installation.
If you also plan on towing and need a 4-flat wiring harness, the correct part for your Subaru is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467.
