Best 2016 Subaru Forester Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

Ball mount kit arrived quickly (within a few days) upon placing order online. Parts were shipped loose in box and bottom flap on box was open when received. Fortunately, all the parts were still in box and in good condition. Kit includes ball mount hardware I need to pull trailers with different hitch heights.

I bought a trailer hitch for 2014 Subaru Forester. I installed the hitch and wiring harness myself in less than an hour. The product matched descriptions perfectly and thanks to the vehicle specific video installation tutorials these products are a breeze to install. Had a great year and attached two bike racks, one ski hitch, and one small trailer with ease also thanks to the accessory ball mount kit.

Yes, I am very satisfied with it and use it on occasion. It’s very practical and useful. Thank you for inquiring.

Strong and seems to be well made and well finished. One-inch ball mounting hole. I used this for a Curt hitch mounted on a 2014 Forester and pulls a small Harbor Freight trailer. Perfect height and trailer is level. Warning - don't get their hitch pin, it does not have a hole for a cotter pin, only a weak clip that I would not trust.

Ball mount arrived with clean welds and smooth powder coat finish that matched the trailer hitch receiver. Mount fits snug in the receiver and provides excellent, printed weight limits to assure safe use. Will be used for utility trailer and possibly a small tent trailer suitable for the weight and pulling power for my Subaru Forester.

I run a small camper dealership, Road Trip Camping, that specializes in small, compact, and lightweight little campers that can be towed by one's existing vehicle. I have been using etrailer.com for over a year now and am very happy with their service. Not only do they typically have anything I ever need, but they are very informed about their products and how to install them. Just a quick call to them, and I get all the answers I need. They are extremely good about product knowledge and customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trailer products and accessories.

Appears to be high quality. Nice and beefy. Haven't used it yet for looks very capable for any hitch hauling jobs.

As expected.

The hitch works great and it was delivered FAST. I was very happy with the purchase. It was cake to install.

Great service, very prompt, with good customer contact and follow-up.

It looks tiny compared to other hitches, but is solid metal. The welds are fine and fits like it should. A necessary item for the trailer hitch.

Everything fit perfectly on my 2000 Subaru Forester and is still working a year after installation. I use the trailer every week.

I purchased a Curt class II hitch for my wifes subaru. I recieved it right away and the installation was a breeze. There was a simple little piece of two sided tape missing from the light wire kit. I called etrailer and George sent it to me that day. Service after the sale is what makes a good company great. I couldn't be happier. Thanks alot etrailer!

This trailer hitch was easy to install. I am eighty six years and a disabled Vet. I took my time and had it on in one and half hours. I also installed the heat deflector back on. I think this heat deflector should be reinstalled as the muffler creates a lot of heat. Saved a lot of money also as the dealer here wanted $500.00 for the hitch $60.00 for the wiring and half day to install. Thought he had a sucker but I didn't bite. Thanks much George J

This got installed on my wife's Forester and we have used it several times for pulling a utility trailer and also for pulling our dock and raft at our camp. Very happy with the options it offers for moving more than fits in the car. Since the Forester had the dual exhaust, i did cheat and have my mechanic do the install. He did it within the hour that is advertised, but did say it would have been a bit of a challenge working at ground level. I think I still ended up paying less in total than going to a hitch installer overall, very happy with the hitch, wiring harness, and drawbar. It's especially nice to have the harness tucked away, as it doesn't get used that often.

Item was as stated and fit receiver perfectly. I used this to get my 30 year old tilt bed trailer to the correct height for my Subaru, as I no longer have a pickup truck.

Needed to pull a 5x8 trailer with a 22 forester. This ball mount had the perfect rise to brink the hitch ball to 18 & 3/4” at the center of the ball.

Great hitch for a reasonable price. Easy to install and works like it should

GREAT PRODUCT, FITS MY CAR PERFECT.

Got what I ordered !!

The 5" rise works very well on an '07 Subaru Forester to level out a utility trailer with 12" wheels. Shipping was prompt as well.

Well made, heavy duty hitch. Fit the Curt hitch on my 2007 Forester perfectly.

This drawbar was clearly used. See the picture. I asked etrailer about it and sent this picture but the person that replied, Noah, thought it must have been bumped around in shipping. If shipping caused this much damage, it's a poor quality product. If it was, in fact, used, then etrailer lied to me. Either way...not good.

Perfect hitch for my 2015 Subaru Forester. Put the ball in the right place!

Easy to use and haven't had any trouble towing my small trailer with motorcycle on board. Def recommend.

I like that this design keeps trailers level rather than pitched forward for my 2007 Subaru Forester. Seems incredibly strong because of its weight and being one piece.

It is heavy duty and well-built. I am not disappointed at all and I get comments everyone smile from people who are used to traveling overseas asking where I got the European style hitch from. The only downside is the lack of interchangeability in the size of the ball itself but I don’t think that’s a big deal because I set it up for what I need it for and keep a vehicle vehicle for longer periods of time.

Item shipped fast and exactly as described. No hesitation in ordering again from this company. Thanks.

I needed to tow a trailer with a 2" ball. My original ball mount has a 1 7/8" ball installed. I had previously tried to change a ball on a hitch and destroyed the nut and damaged the underside of the ball mount. The lock washer had done a great job in keeping the nut from coming off. I dreaded trying to remove my 1 7/8" ball to install a new one that I would only use once. I decided to buy a new ball mount and mount the new 2" ball. This ball mount is so inexpensive that I realized I could have both ball sizes permanently mounted for use in either ball size.

Needed something to raise the hitch carrier on our subaru forester to clear the tailpipes. This was the ticket. Super fast shipping from etrailer and curt makes a sturdy, well finished product.

We sold our small motor home and purchased a small travel trailer. This hitch provided a perfect solution to how to use our bike rack while towing the trailer. It even allows room for the pickup tailgate to be lowered without removing the bikes from the rack. The hitch is very hefty with a high weight limit - plenty for the GVW of the trailer (7,000#) plus 125# of rack and bikes.

This hitch has worked perfectly on my Subaru for over a year now. Last summer I pulled my tear drop trailer around the country with no problems and the finish on the hitch still looks like new. I would recommend this hitch to a friend.

Looks heavy duty. Great price and even better customer service. It shipped fast and I received it acday sooner than I was told. This was my 2nd order with etrailer.com and it won’t be my last.

I installed the trailer wiring and a friend helped install the hitch. Etrailer website is excellent. I got the right items on time and the fit is better than my wife’s dealer installed hitch. Videos on the etrailer site are clear and correct. One caveat, don’t try installing the hitch without at least one other person and having a way to lift the car(we used ramps) is a great help. The only possible way etrailer could be any more helpful is if they could recruit some local shops that would be willing to do the installation. I especially like having my wiring in the passenger compartment when not in use. It keeps it out of the Salt here in the northeast.

I got a hitch for my Honda accord it was extremely easy to install took less time than they estimate after I installed it I bought a trailer and have hauled various things already with no problem I would recommend e trailer to anyone

etrailer has what you need

I would give five stars but due to what looks like packaging problems the hitch came very marred and the coating chipping off.
