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.

  • Correct etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2013 Subaru Forester
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59AR 2013 is confirmed to fit your Subaru Forester.

Then for wiring I recommend picking up the T-One Wiring Harness # 118467 which plugs into your factory wiring plug and then I recommend using the mounting brackets # 18144 and # 18140 to secure the 4-Way near your hitch receiver.

    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59AR will reduce the ground clearance on your 2013 Subaru Forester some, but it won't make the vehicle sit lower in the back. The only reason this will sit closer to the ground is because the receiver is the same height as the crosstube.
