etrailer Class III Trailer Hitch Installation - 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Video

For some reason Toyota isn't very forthcoming with how to figure out if you have the tow package or not. From my understanding all of the V6 models of the 2019 Toyota Highlander have the tow package but it isn't specified as to what else…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

The Curt #C13382 and etrailer #e98912 hitches for your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek have the same construction, capacities, and design, but the big difference is that the Curt hitch has the classic glossy finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black…

In looking at the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek it is unchanged from the previous 2022 model year that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C13382 fits. I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness #118467 so you will be able to add Auxiliary Lights…

The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack #TH83JV is a very nice rack that will tilt-away, fold-up, and will hold the bikes by their wheels. That rack will allow bikes up to 60 lbs each and with tires up to 5 inches wide. The closest part of the rack…

Both the Curt #C13382 and the etrailer #e98912 hitch are a 2" Class III hitch receiver that will provide a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 525 lbs. You are correct, they are an identical hitch but our…

I've attached some photos so you can see how the #e98912 is going to look like after you install it on your 2020 Subaru Crosstrek Limited. These photos were submitted by another Crosstrek Limited owner who confirms it's a perfect fit and as…

Is the 7-way factory installed? If so, it'll say MOPAR on the spring loaded cover for the 7-way socket. If so, Jeep kind of prewired the vehicle by running the brake output circuit from the 7-way up to the passenger cab and terminating it under…

The etrailer hitch #e98912 that you referenced does not require removal of the rear bumper to install on your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek. For more info on how it installs check out the install video and instructions link I attached to this page as well.

If all of your trailer tires are the same size, construction, and Load Range you would be just fine. I would may recommend having matching tire brands on each axle since you have 2 and 2 of each kind. I attached a help article on trailer tires for…

The best practice is honestly to replace tires in pairs. That way they should wear at the same rate and they'll be on the same replacement rotation. This being said, if the tires on that axle were still pretty new (a year or less old) and…

I've linked you to product demonstration videos of all three bike racks. The best of the three racks will depend on the features you're interested in and which features you find most important. First some similarities. All three racks are…
