Recommended 7 Way Mounting Bracket for a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
Question:
Looking for mounting recommendations for ETBC7 7and4 way trailer kit to 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. My hitch does not have a mounting bracket/spot for these, the muffler is near the hitch location, and I dont like the idea of just fastening to the plastic bumper.

Expert Reply:
Kyler, you do have other options but the mounting bracket that came with # ETBC7 should be either installed on the hitch or drilled into the fascia, but since you're not a big fan of that I'd recommend going with a no-drill option # 18136.
This option does not require any drilling anywhere so you'd just need to feed the hose clamp around the cross tube and you'll be good to go.
