  • Will the Same Hitch Work on the 2025 Subaru Forester Base Model and the Wilderness Edition?
    Hello Tom, Congrats on the new 2025 Subaru Wilderness! What is your favorite new feature? I went ahead and reached out to the Subaru OEM parts website and was able to confirm that the same hitch will work for the both the 2025 Forester and the Wilderness Edition. So that means that the frame on the vehicle is the same (at least at the rear of the vehicle) even if the body is different. I know the Wilderness is raised a bit more than the base and has a wider bumper, which will help with...

  • What Hitch will Not get in the Way of My 2025 Subaru Forester Hands Free Lift Gate?
    Hello Wes, Great question! The only hitch that we have that will not interfere with the sensor at all for the 2025 Subaru Forester is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 306-X7391. If you go to the product page and it says that it doesn't fit, don't be alarmed I was able to confirm through Torklift's website that it will fit the 2025 and am having our fitguide updated. Now, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13409 will...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV
    Hi Jerry, For your 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV you would need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C37RV for the trailer hitch. The right light kit for your Sorento is going to depend on a few factors. For models with the tow package, like you stated you have, you can install a 7-way connector like the Tekonsha # TK24FR. Regardless of the tow package you can install a 4-pole connector like the Tekonsha # 118269 (incandescent tail lights) or Curt # C99DR (LED tail lights). The 7-way is really...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2022 Chevrolet Equinox
    When it comes to installing a trailer wiring harness on your 2022 Chevrolet Equinox the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK67KR is the right option. The wiring has a simple plug and play installation that plugs behind the driver and passenger side tail lights. Then you will have to run the hot lead up to the car's battery. When the wiring harness is not in use I recommend The 4 Pole Mounting Bracket # 18144. This will keep your harness out of...

  • Class III Trailer Hitch for 2016 Subaru Outback that Does Not Require Drilling
    I do have a 2 inch hitch that is a no-drill installation for your 2016 Subaru Outback. It is the Curt # C13410. These hitches are getting very popular with Subaru owners. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. Although the instructions for Class III trailer hitches such as # 75673 for your 2016 Subaru Outback state that an access hole will need to be drilled it is possible to avoid that if you can access the inside of the frame another way. In this case it means...

  • What Hitch and Wiring do I Need for My 2022 Toyota Highlander XSE?
    Greetings George, I understand your confusion, and I get this question a lot. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C99FR fits all models of the 2022 Toyota Highlander. So yes, it will work great for your XSE model. Sometimes the hitch will only fit one model so in that spot it will just say "XSE models" or "excluding XSE." I see that you already found the wiring to go with it the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK99FR will be...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Mazda CX-9
    The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2020 Mazda CX-9 is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76020 because it has a hidden design which means only the receiver tube is shown therefore you get a very sleek look, there is an integrated trailer connector tab which cuts down on your total list of parts, and it has the highest weight capacities available so you know it will be strong and last a lifetime. I have attached an install photo for you. If you will be towing then you...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness and Mounting Brackets for a 2016 Nissan Frontier
    We do have a variety of trailer connectors and mounting brackets that you can use on your 2016 Nissan Frontier. If you need a 4-Way Flat connector then the Hopkins # HM43575 will work if you have the tow package. If you don't have the tow package then I recommend the Curt # C56225. You can mount either of these using the Tow Ready # 18144 with a no-drill bracket like part # 18140. I have attached some installation videos and the instructions for you to check out.

  • How To Tell If a Ford Transit Has the Tow Package and Parts Needed To Add It
    The Ford Transit if equipped with the factory tow package would have came with both a trailer hitch and trailer connector and they would both be located directly under the rear bumper so odds are you do not have either because they are not hard to locate. The factory tow package was also not a very common option but I can provide you with everything to add this on your own at a fraction of the price. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75912 is a confirmed fit for a 2015...

  • 4-Flat Wiring for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport and Where to Mount the Converter to Keep Elements Away
    Hello Carlos, Yes, you can most definitely secure the converter in the inside of the driver side rear light housing. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118786 will be a great fit for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler. I went through the reviews and I see that one of our customers did the same thing, I attached the picture of where he installed the converter. I would also recommend grabbing a Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 for a clean looking install. Happy...

  • Does 2024 Honda Passport Rear Panel Need to be Removed or Hitch and Wiring Installation
    Hey Dennis, thanks for reaching out about the etrailer Hitch # e44AR and wiring parts (listed below)! You won't need to trim or remove any panels for the hitch or the brackets to fit on your 2024 Honda Passport. You'll need to bend the no-drill bracket to clear the rear panel and you can choose to trim it if you wish, but it won't be a necessity. - Curt Wiring # C56291 - Mounting Brackets # 18144 and # C57202

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1965 Ford F100
    For your 1965 Ford F100, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41001. This hitch receiver is a 2 inch Class III rated for 600 lbs tongue weight and 6,000 lbs towing but 1,000 lbs tongue and 10,000 lbs towing when using a weight distribution system. If you don't already have a trailer wiring harness, I recommend the 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester # 18252. This includes quick splice connectors to make installation easy. You may also want the bracket...

  • Trailer Towing Setup Recommendation for 2014 Buick Enclave
    You are on the right track! The Draw Tite hitch part # 75528 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Buick Enclave as well as the trailer wiring kit # 118270. The wiring mount part # 18144 will also give you a place to mount the 4-way that bolts to the bumper. The ball mount part # C45036 that you referenced is would also work well if you need 2 inch drop. I attached a help article that details how to pick out a ball mount drop as well.

    A hitch and trailer wiring can certainly be installed on a 2021 Chevrolet Traverse.

It has a max towing capacity of 5000lbs, and a max tongue weight of 750lbs. Be sure to comply with your vehicle's capacity so that you don't overload.

  • Recommended Dual Hitch Adapter For 2017 Kia Sorento for Bike Rack and Pop-up Trailer
    Your 2017 Kia Sorento has a towing capacity of 2,000 to 5,000 lbs depending on what motor and transmission you have. I recommend checking your owner's manual to make sure you are within the manufacturer's specifications. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75908. This will give you a 2 inch opening that will allow you to use the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544. This will allow you to tow your...

    Hey Stephen, thanks for reaching out! You can either use the Hopkins # 30955 to give you both 7-Way and 4-Way connectors, or you can use the T-One # 118384 and Mounting Brackets # C83DR and # 18144 to mount the 4-Way separately from your current 7-Way. Either option plugs into the USCAR connector at the back side of the bumper on your 2024 Ridgeline.

The tongue weight (TW) should not exceed 9-10 percent of this, so around 200 lbs. Vehicles with a 2.7L L4 engine are limited to 1,500 lbs instead. Class III and IV trailer hitches both feature a 2 inch receiver, however class IV hitches are categorized this way because of their...
