Draw-Tite Tested Tough
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

I chose to remove the bumper to install this hitch. By doing this, it avoids the need to do any drilling, grinding, or other modifications to the holes in the frame. Removing the bumper wasn't too hard. The Subaru Technical Information System has the PDF directions for installing the OEM hitch, which includes great directions on removing and replacing the bumper. The hardware can be installed through the end of the frame easily using the included fishwire.
The installation of the hitch itself was also straightforward. Dropping the exhaust was easy. I applied a penetrating lubricant to the exhaust hangars several days beforehand and let it soak in, and removing the hangars wasn't too hard at all. I'd recommend getting a friend to lift the ~35 pound hitch in place while you install the washers and nuts to hold it in place.
I also purchased the 118467 wiring harness. Installation was literally as simple as removing the cargo tray and plugging it into the vehicle harness. Foolproof!
The hitch looks great installed, and I while I haven't had a chance to tow any distance yet, I have no doubts that this will serve me well for years to come.

Bought this in January and it was just too cold to install until today.... Started at 1530 hrs and was finished with all tools put away by 1800! I was a little nervous on the possibility of having the Subaru down for a few days if I got stuck however the install went like a breeze. I did all the work alone by using a car jack and a few timbers to jockey it into place, not a problem. Thought I'd have a hassle with the rubber parts but they slid on and off without a hitch (pun intended). Great kit, just take it slow and easy and this is a piece 'o cake.

Still MORE than pleased with this hitch....In fact, its taken quite a bit of punishment and I do believe this hitch will take anything the Forester will take.
by: Dannon10/11/2023
This trailer hitch is sturdy, and seems to be good quality. I was able to install it myself in a little over an hour, with a bit of drilling into the frame of my Subaru Forester. I've only had it a year, but there haven't been any issues so far.

One year in and no complaints on this hitch.
by: William02/22/2022
Arrived very quickly. Ample instruction for installation. Having enough positionable bright light focused on the work is critical as it is dark (and cold) down there. I did this outside in the driveway in winter. Blew everything off with the compressor. I soaked the exhaust hangers with silicone spray and then again as I removed them. I used a ratchet strap hooked to the outermost body exhaust hangers to lower and support the twin exhaust. I drilled one 3/8 hole to the rear of the forward mount holes instead of the recommended two, one font and one back. Fish the thread end of the fish wires rather than the straight end as it is easier to see and pull through. I used a pair of jack stands to support the receiver till it was aligned then raised it with 3/4" wood blocks till the bolts were through and nuts threaded. The finished product looks great. It is definitely stronger than the car frame it's mounted to! The phot is from the next morning!

Have had this trailer hitch receiver installed on our 2010 Subaru Forester for about 18 months now and have had no issues with it. Install was straight forward, although requires some dexterity on the installers part. After that its fit and finish is premium and most any hitch installs easily. No signs of rust anywhere, only road grime!

Drawtite class III #75650 hitch would not fit my 09 Subaru Forester, it was to wide to fit between the mufflers, i have two rear mufflers they both were up tight against the hitch causing the mufflers to vibrate against the hitch and frame making the inside of the vehicle load. You can not have your exhaust system touching the body of the vehicle. I helped out Drawtite to correct the problem for future fits and etrailer offered to ship me a different hitch that would fit my vehicle. My Forester is a special edition Prezi with two rear exhaust muffllers and we all think that may be the reason that particular hitch did not fit. Item # 76271 Drawtite Is the right hitch that fits.

2013 Subaru Forester
I ordered a trailer hitch, class 3 Draw Tite, and wiring kit, Curt, for my 2013 Suburu Forester to tow a camper. The product matched the written description perfectly. The installation video for both was very helpful and accurate and as a result I was able to do the entire install by myself in about 2 hours. I had a shipping problem, which was my fault, and when I contacted customer services they were great and fixed the issue right away. When installed the hitch is almost invisable so it does not affect te cosmetics of the car
Etrailer is awesome and I cannot say enough good things about them.

We bought this trailer hitch specifically so that we can transport our bikes for various rides we like to take. The hitch was fairly easy to install (one afternoon with a buddy who has some good tools!) and is as sturdy as a factory installed hitch. I highly recommend this hitch for anyone who needs something simple and at 25% the cost of going to your dealer to get a hitch installed.
by: John C.09/19/2018

As for items ordered; hitch, wiring, locking pin, lighted hitch step and dual ball for hitch, all were as expected, arrived on or before expected and undamaged.
Kudos to etrailer for having Meghan L keeping me posted with updates on these orders.
The instructions and video were thorough for easy installation, although I chose to have a professional with a lift do it, as I don't get in and out from under a car as well as I once did.
I highly recommend etrailer.com for product selection and customer service.
by: William 03/13/2023
Fits well. Relatively easy to install. Hardest part is disconnecting the mufflers from their rubber mountings. Instructions are vague about any sequence to disconnect. Should start with the center rubber mount that is about half way up the exhaust pipe, then the others near the mufflers. Lubrication of the rubber mounts will assist disconnection. Additionally, instructions look like you need to drill from under the car but it’s much easier to drill/Dremel from on top inside near the spare tire well.
by: Doug R07/10/2017
The hitch is a great quality and the instructions very helpful. I reviewed the on-line video a number of times as I was working through the installation.
I used ramps to get the backend of the car up a bit and a floor jack and piece of timber clamped to the hitch frame to lift it into place making the installation a one man effort.
I did notice an error in the video; both the 1/2" and 7/16" bolts are identified as being the forward bolt. The written instructions indicate that it is 1/2" bolt.
Installing the wiring harness could not have been easier. No splicing!
We are looking forward to putting the hitch to use.

2013 Subaru Forester
Fit perfect on my 2013 Subaru Forester. The instructions and online video were great. I also ordered the wiring harness and it was an easy install.
I was installing mine in the garage without a lift and came up with an easy way to lower and hold the exhaust. I placed a couple of jack stands under the exhaust. Once I popped off the rubber mounts I lowered them onto the stands. The exhaust is only 5 or 10 pounds and easily held by one person while adjusting the jack stands up and down. I also applied silicon grease to the exhaust rubber mounts when installing them and they just slipped on. It made it so easy I did the entire install by myself.

Love my new hitch, fit perfect, nice and strong and looks great! Watched the video on installing first; said 40 minutes to install. Well, as others said; the longest process is getting those muffler hanger bushings loose and back on when finished; my total install was about 2 hrs. taking my time. I ended up using a coarse round file for making relief for the backer plate install into the frame, worked well for me and no excess extra opening. Those fish wires worked great, that was the quickest process getting the bolts and backer plates into place. Since I did this myself, once the bolts were in place, I used a rolling floor jack with a 2x6 long enough to support the width of the balanced hitch and raised it into place making sure the bolts didn't get pushed back up into the frame. Very pleased, now it's time to by my 1st fishing boat!
by: John Schaer06/04/2015
It took me a little time to get to this installation as how I have been busy ! As to how I am 70 years young and this would be a great task ! I still have a boat and needed away to move it around. My truck I sold and this was my choice. The hitch will do the trick and looks great ! Being in the automobile business I feel this hitch will last a long time as to how well build it is !
by: Blaise06/01/2022
2012 Subaru Forester
Install’s very easy, if you take the mufflers off, and read parts list. I realized there was two different sized bolts halfway through the pulling of them lol. But once I realized everything went together like Legos. Also, it is possible to do it by yourself, just a little bit of jerry rigging is required.
by: Alex A.05/15/2013
2009 Subaru Forester
Product showed up on time and with no damage, installation was easy. I used video to get me started and it helped, the only thing I did differently is I drilled the rear holes from the trunk and installed bolts fro there, it was easier to do from above. Also the only thing I would recommend for Us dummies out here, LOL is color code or separate the two size bolts so those of us that don't read all the instructions can easily identify which bolt goes where.
Thanks for a great product and excellent service.

Maybe more beefy than needed for a 4cyl Forester. Consider a class 2 if you are hauling light trailers. Exhaust has to be dropped to install on a dual exhaust Subaru, so be able to do that or pay for a mechanic to do it.

2010 Subaru Forester
Delivery was fast. The instructions and associated product installation video were very good. The one I got for my Suburu this time was pretty heavy so I used a 2 x 4 across under it and a jack to ease it up into position and that worked well. Thanks etrailer!
by: Adam08/02/2019
So far, I've used this hitch frequently to pull a 3500 lb boat with a Subaru and it has worked flawlessly. No tearing of the uni-body at anchor holes so far :)

Rugged, easy to install following eTrailer's video. I really like the square tube the hitch receiver is welded to. Many other products use a round tube. Went with a hitch that surpasses the load my car can haul just to make sure it will hold up. And the 2" receiver is the same as on my truck, so can swap out hitches as needed.

The hitch has been a great addition to our Forester. Very impressed with the quality. We routinely pull a 5x10 utility trailer and it works great. I did eventually install an anti-rattle bolt to cut down on noise from the hitch ball mount.Thanks for following up!
by: Matthew09/13/2022
The hitch receiver had to be filed down to fit a 2” ball hitch. It’s solid but that really pissed me off… out of the factory would expect more precision
by: Mitchell04/07/2022
Installed perfectly. Fits perfectly with bike rack and handled the weight no problem. Only complaint is the rust that develops after a few trips. Inside of the hitch get's pretty scratched up and will eventually rust. So far has not impacted functionality.

I recommend using a rust resistant spray such as Rustoleum to help prevent the rust from occurring. When using accessories or ball mounts in the receiver it will lead to scratches in the powder coat. Using Rustoleum on a regular basis will help.

- Will 2011 Subaru Forester Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Fit Other VehiclesThe Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75650 will only fit a 2009 - 2013 Subaru Forester so if you want to reuse the hitch then you'll need a 3rd-Gen Forester like what you said as well as Replacement Hardware # RHK since hitch hardware is only designed to be torqued once. If you're wanting to get a completely different vehicle then just let me know the year/make/model and I'll be more than happy to make a recommendation for a new trailer hitch for you.

The main difference between the two is the tube design like you noticed. There is not an advantage to having a round tube over a square tube hitch or vice versa. Some people just prefer the look of one over the other. Check out the picture I attached that shows both hitches installed on a vehicle so you can see which look you prefer.

- What Do I need to Wire My 2009 Subaru Forester to Tow A TrailerWe currently offer a T-One wiring harness, part # 118467 for your 2009 Subaru Forester. This part is separate from the hitch, and will be installed on the rear of the vehicle. You will find connection point for the plug in your spare tire compartment.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Subaru Forester that Doesn't Require Stabilizer StrapFor your 2013 Subaru Forester I'd actually recommend the Draw Tite hitch part # 75650 over the Curt you mentioned as it does not require the use of the stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. Curt seems a bit overly cautious with the strap recommendation, especially with a 2 inch hitch like the # 13147, but we have to recommend you follow their guidelines with their hitches otherwise the warranty will be voided.

I have added a link to an install video so you can see how easy it is to put this in your Forester; just plug in the connection points in your rear cargo area and you are done.

The rack will have to be designed for a 2 inch trailer hitch. That being said I believe I have a better solution for your 2009 Subaru Forester since the Curt requires you to use a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. Instead I would recommend the Draw Tite Class III hitch part # 75650 that has also been confirmed as a...

The Curt hitch is just as strong a hitch and because it is made in the USA is arguably made of better steel but it does based on their warranty require the stability strap # 18050 for a bike rack. There isn't any noticeable stability difference between the two hitches.

There are a couple of key differences that may help you in making a decision. Curt uses a high-gloss black finish on their hitches and the Hidden Hitch is not so glossy.

The hitch is still there! In all seriousness, it has worked great. Traveled probably over 5,000 miles with a trailer, and many thousands more without, and the hitch is still in fantastic shape, save a tiny patch of surface corrosion.
