Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

The trailer hitch has remained solid. I primarily use it for a step for my dogs to use to get into their crates in the back end. The installation also went well and was fast



by:

This trailer hitch is very well made. Absolutely a home run in quality. Also, your installation video is outstanding. The only recommendation I would make on the video is to make mention you might have to undo the muffler hanger on one side for the trailer hitch to move into place. The spring wires provided for the bolts to pull through the holes is a game changer. Well done. Overall, I have nothing but praise for this hitch.



by:

This hitch is perfect for our newer Ascent. Very easy to install, fits perfectly and hides under a panel when not in use. I made an error in ordering; Josh was great to work with for the return and immediately sent the correct unit. So happy we purchased through etrailer.com.

2022 Subaru Ascent

Product quality was excellent. Fit was good after frame modification. This is a difficult 2 person installation from under the rear of the vehicle.



by:

Great product, very well built, heavier than expected, easy installation, ship time was fantastic, could improve on the packaging, but everything needed arrived.

2025 Subaru Ascent

I didn't realize this was a two-part review, please read the first part. It covers this as well. But rest assured this was another fantastic transaction with this great company. E-trailer!



by:

Works great. Exactly as described



by:

It was a good choice. Instructions were clear installing the hitch was moderate but much more affordable than what the dealer wanted.. I’m old and was able to install it myself.

My husband was able to mount this on my Ascent quickyly and it did a great job holding a basket and bunch of gear on a cross country road trip. It came quickly too.



by:

5th etrailer hitch I have installed over the last 10 years. The videos make the installation go smoothly so there are no surprises and the quality is great.



by:

Nice heavy duty one piece hitch. Great fit. Took about two hours to install



by:

The product had all the necessary instructions and parts to make the installation very easy. The harness is very simple to use. It's perfect for our Ascent to tow and looks great.



by:

This was listed as an "easy" install. This was NOT going to be an easy hitch to install - would have required removal of heat shields and dropping exhaust system down from the car to install. This would have also removed 3 inches of clearance from my car. In the end I returned this item for a different model.



by:

E TRAILER is spot on every time. Great customer service. fast response time and always addresses any issues fast!

As for the hitch... fits as it should. No worries when you deal with
E-TRAILER!



by:

Great, sturdy, solid hitch. A little difficult to install, not a simple job, the bumper hitch, etrailer has would be easier, but nice hitch for the money...



by:

My second Trailer hitch from trailer. Always prompt and well designed for easy install. Couldn’t be happier.



by:

Arrives quickly at a good price and the how to videos make it a breeze to install.

  • Class III Trailer Hitch Receivers and 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness Which Will Fit 2024 Subaru Ascent
    I was able to confirm both our class III etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivers # e55ZR and # e35ZR are confirmed to fit your 2024 Subaru Ascent. The Receiver # e35ZR is going to be the easier install option as it will bolt to the bottom of the frame rails and hang below the rear bumper fascia. If you are concerned with ground clearance or want the best looking receiver we have the Receiver # e55ZR which will sit behind the factory removable panel. This is a more difficult install as it requires...

  • Best Hitch for Carrying Bike Rack on 2020 Subaru Ascent
    We offer two primary types of hitch for your 2020 Subaru Ascent. One installs so that the receiver tube sits up against the underside of he back bumper fascia with most of the hitch being visible from the rear of the vehicle. The other type would utilize the removable knockout in the bumper fascia and would be much more concealed. The knockout panel can be reinstalled when the hitch isn't in use. For the fully exposed type hitch I'd go with the etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e35ZR....

  • Suggested Hitch Option for Carrying Bikes on 2022 Subaru Ascent
    We currently offer several different hitches for the 2022 Subaru Ascent. Two that are concealed that will be hidden behind the removable panel on the bumper when not in use, and two that sit below the rear bumper and will be fully visible from the rear. The Curt # C25VR and etrailer brand # e55ZR are completely identical except for the powder coat finish. The Curt uses a glossy powder coat, while the etrailer brand uses a matte finish. Since the hitch will be fully hidden behind the bumper...

  • What is the Difference Between the etrailer hitches e55ZR and e35ZR for My 2022 Subaru Ascent?
    There are some differences to consider between the etrailer hitches # e55ZR and # e35ZR. While both of these hitches have a maximum gross towing weight capacity of 5,000 pounds, they have different maximum tongue weight capacities. The # e55ZR has a 750-pound tongue weight capacity and the # e35ZR has a 675-pound tongue weight capacity. Another difference is the installation difficulty. For the # e55ZR, the installation takes longer because the hitch replaces the impact bar of the bumper...

  • Comparison of Trailer Hitches and Recommendation for 2022 Subaru Ascent
    We offer two styles of hitches for your 2022 Subaru Ascent, a fully visible model such as the Curt # C13400 or the etrailer brand # e35ZR or the partially concealed Curt # C25VR and etrailer # e55ZR. The # C13400 or # e35ZR mount to the underside of the frame members, and the entire hitch and receiver tube is fully visible from the rear of the vehicle. The receiver tube will sit just below the rear bumper. The # C25VR and etrailer # e55ZR install behind the bumper cover, and will actually...

  • 2020 Subaru Ascent etrailer Trailer Hitch Height and Ground Clearance
    We haven't had a chance to get the ground clearance measurements for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e35ZR on a Subaru Ascent yet but when we installed the Curt equivalent, part # C13400, on a 2019 Ascent it measured 13-1/4" for the hitch height which would mean ground clearance would be in the ballpark of 11" when taking account for the 2" receiver and thickness of the metal. This should be about the same for your 2020 Subaru Ascent but there may be some variance depending on wheel/tire...

  • Is The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver a Good Match For a Bike Rack On a 2023 Subaru Ascent?
    Yes, you can tell your customer our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e35ZR is a great choice for carrying 2 E-bikes behind your 2023 Subaru Ascent. I recommend showing them the Thule Epos Bike Rack # TH99XE which can carry 2 bikes up to 70lbs each. This has a frame mount as most e-bikes have fenders. You will want to tell them they should add the 4-Way Wiring # C56040 as they will likely need to add some Auxiliary Lights # C53201. The lights are typically needed behind most bike racks...

  • Replacement Hitch Pin And Clip For A 2 Inch Trailer Hitch On A Hyundai Palisade
    For your 2021 Subaru Ascent, with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e35ZR, I recommend using the Threaded Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin Lock for etrailer Cargo Carriers # e99047. This is a locking hitch pin that can be keyed alike to match other etrailer branded locks, so you don't have to carry around a bunch of keys. A locking hitch pin is a much better option than a traditional pin and clip that increases security and theft prevention, however if you still wanted a traditional pin and...
