etrailer Class III Trailer Hitch Installation - 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek- Video

Hey guys, this is Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the etrailer Class III two inch hitch receiver. Adding the two inch hitch receiver to the back of your Crosstrek is gonna give you a lot of different options for accessories. You're gonna be able to put two inch bike racks in there, cargo carriers, ball mounts if you wanna pull a small trailer. If you plan on pulling a trailer, I'd highly recommend installing your four-pole wiring while you're doing your hitch, just so that you only have to tear into your vehicle one time. This hitch is gonna have a triple carbide black powder coat finish, which we have seen to prove that it's a very, very tough paint job. more

Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Installation - 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek- Video

Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2015 Subaru Crosstrek XV, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Draw-Tite, class one, trailer hitch receiver. Now although our hitch is mostly visible, I do like how it contours to the lines to the back of our Subaru and blends in pretty well. And there's also a benefit to being exposed like this. It's going to be a lot easier to use and it's going to be easier to get our accessories on and off.The end of our receiver tube, is going to sit pretty much flush with the edge of our bumper. And that's a good thing because we'll get plenty of clearance and that'll work well with any folding accessories. more

Now compared to some of the other hitches available, this one is going to be a little bit more visible, but in my opinion I think it looks pretty good on the back of our Subaru.It contours nicely to the back, and the flat black carbide finish blends in. And there's an upside to being visible, as well, and that's going to be how easy it is to use. Everything's going to be in the open, making connecting or disconnecting any accessories very easy. more

Instalaciòn Enganche De-Remolque - 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek - Curt- Video

Hoy en esta Subaru XV Crosstrek 2013, se va a instalar la pieza numero C13135 de Curt. Asi es como luce el enganche (Hitch) ya instalado en nuestra Subaru. Antes que nada primero te daremos algunas medidas que te ayudaran en la seleccion de algunos de los accesorios; tal como.- Un soporte para bola. un porta-bicicletas. O una parrilla carga equipaje. Desde la parte superior de la abertura del receptor al suelo sera de unos 141/4 pulgadas. Desde el orificio del pasador del enganche a la defensa sera de unos 2 3/4 pulgadas. Ahora voy a seguir adelante y mostrar como se instala el enganche (Hitch). Para empezar tenemos 4 tapones de goma que tenemos que eliminar de la parte posterior del chasis, hay una serie de 3 en cada lado, dejar los del centro intactos y quitar los 2 de la parte de afuera. Siguiente tenemos que checar para un posible ajuste en los orificios porque vamos a tener que meter nuetro material de ensamblado (tornilleria) en los orificios. Vamos a tomar una de nuetras placas (blocks) y llevarla hasta uno de los orificios que va hacia la parte delantera del vehiculo, y te daras cuenta que es demasiado pequeno, por lo que se va a tomar una herramienta con una broca y haremos un pequeno corte para que podamos meter nuestra placa (block). Ahora vamos a seguir adelante y mostrar como el resto del material de ensamblado encaja con el enganche (hitch). Insertar tornillo y una placa (block) en los orificios que van mas cerca a la defensa; a continuacion una tuerca de bloqueo. El material de ensamblado que va en la parte delantera llevara un tornillo de 3 pulgadas de largo con una placa (block), luego una placa espaciadora (block) entre el chasis y el enganche (hitch). En la parte trasera del tornillo va una tuerca de bloqueo. Vamos a empezar por instalar nuestros tornillos para el orificio que va mas cerca a la defensa. Bien tomar un cable lider e introducirlo al orificio que se va a utilizar y fuera del orificio mas grande apuntando hacia la parte delantera del vehiculo luego se coloca la placa (block) y empujarlo hacia dentro del chasis. Entonces poner el tornillo en el cable y empujarlo tambien hacia dentro del chasis. Ahora podemos seguir y sacar el cable lider del orificio. Siguiente, podemos tomar nuestro tornillo de 1/2 pulgada y una placa de 3 pulgadas de largo, enrroscar el tornillo al cable lider; en esta ocasion vamos a empujar el tornillo primero y luego empujar nuestra placa; para despues estirar de regreso por el mismo orificio. Vamos a repetir este proceso del lado del pasajero. Ya en esta punto podemos empezar a levantar el enganche a su posicion. Es buena idea tener un par de manos extras para ayudar a sostenerlo mientras hacemos esto. Ahora si, adelante y comenzar con la instalaccion de las turcas en los tornillos mas cercanos a la defensa, y dejarlos lo mas flojos posibles; esto hara que nos sea mas facil instalar los separadores que van entre el enganche y el chasis. Hacer esto lentamente para que asi no empuje el tornillo de regreso hacia el chasis; hacer un lado a la vez. Siguiente necesitamos instalar nuestras tuercas restantes. Con toda la tornilleria floja, podemos proceder a apretar las tuercas, y apretar como se especifica en las instrucciones. Esto completa nuestra instalacion de la pieza numero C13135 de Curt en nuestra Subaru XV Crosstrek 2013. more
