Most Popular Rise - 1 Inch for 2022 Subaru Forester

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.

Very impressed with company keeping constant updates. Product was shipped very quickly. Heavy duty and extremely easy to install, granted I had a friend help and access to a lift. I will definitely be recommending etrailer to my friends.

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.

Quality products. The hitch and wiring harness installed easily because of the quality detailed installation videos you provided. I couldn't be happier. I saved $ 300 by doing the installation myself. I plan on using the hitch for a bicycle rack and to pull a motorcyle trailor. Since I don't have a pickup it is really convenient to be able to tow a utility trailor when needed. Thanks etrailer! You have a good thing going. Keep up the good work.

This hitch was installed on my 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Limited. The website is fantastic and makes finding the correct products for your vehicle very easy. The hitch arrived in only a few days and came complete with all the necessary installation accessories. The hitch comes with fish wire for the frame bolts so you don't need to fuss with buying fish wire. Some reviews stated that you can go in from the inside of the vehicle but this is totally unnecessary and more work. Just follow the instructions, with exception of the muffler heat shield. You can drill 1/2" holes through the heat shield in the dimpled areas corresponding to where the instructions tell you to cut out the heat shield (see some of the other reviews for more detail on this). These holes allow you to securely fasten the heat shield over the hitch using the hitch bolts. Make sure you have a torque wrench and an 11/16" deep socket to tighten the frame bolts. I would also recommend removing the muffler which is very simple. Lube the muffler mounts with WD-40 to facilitate the removal of the muffler. You will save at least $300 installing this yourself.

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

Every Item I have ordered from etrailer.com has been top of the line . Easy ordering , prompt service , and excellent installment instructions . I watch the video , more than once , and follow the expert's direction . I wouldnt order trailer parts anywhere else . Thank You

I believe my choice, with the help of etrailer, of this Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver, along with a few other items to go with it, such as the drawbar, hitch ball and wiring harness, was a good one for my 2017 Subaru Forester. I also have to compliment etrailer for their excellent video on how to install it. All together, it really made the purchase very easy and smooth. Thanks etrailer.

This ball mount is stout! And it's powder coated! This guy will last longer than the vehicle, or maybe me.

Retail type stores only carry mainstream items so when I needed a special length ball mount for my 2011 Traverse I found the size and quality with Curt Products .

Etrailer is great. Good service!

Great price! Amazingly fast service! The drawbar was a very tight fit in the hitch until I scraped off some of the paint at the end; then it was perfect.

Parts delivered fast, very happy with the quality and prices.

i bout this product for my 2010 subaru forester to tow a 16" boat. It works much better than expected! The amount of cushion it provides is stellar! quite the amazing device! i will have one on every trailer that i buy.

Solid build and well designed mechanism for anti vibration!
