Curt vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch For 2024 Subaru Ascent
Question:
What is the difference between the curt and etrailer trailer hitch for the 2024 Subaru Ascent?
asked by: Blake
Expert Reply:
There's only one difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches for your 2024 Subaru Ascent, which is the finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte black finish, while the Curt hitch has a glossy black finish, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your Ascent are the following part numbers:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C25VR
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR
The matte black finish does hide those inevitable small scuffs a bit better than the glossy finish, though if you don't feel strongly either way about the finish, just go with the best price, especially because these hitches are hidden, so the finish won't be super noticeable.
Additionally, if you are looking to do some towing and need a wiring harness, the correct fit for your '24 Ascent is the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040.
