I have a 2014 Subaru Legacy, and I needed well made hitch to accept my Thule T2 Pro XT 2 Bike Hitch Rack with a 1 1/4" receiver. The product arrived in a reasonable time, and it looks like its made very well. Came with all the hardware and good instructions. I would suggest watching the video, which was VERY well done. The use of a die grinder with a tungsten bit, or a step bit, will make it much easier to open up the holes in the frame quickly, took me 35 minutes to install. Great product, order yours today!

Its been a year and the device is still performing very well. No rusty welds, the paint job has performed well. I live in a cold climate with lots of salt on the roads in the winter, it all looks great so far. Great craftsmanship! get yours today!

Fits good and tight into the space available, and designed to take advantage of the strongest part of the unibody.
Pro tip #1: On Subaru installations calling for cutting out an opening, take the time to remove the bumper, allowing access to the unibody tunnel without hacking a hole into it, to insert the carriage bolts and reinforcement plates.
Pro tip #2: While you have access to the unibody tunnel, now is a great time to apply Fluid Film/Woolwax/B'laster Surface Shield to the interior of the unibody, bumper, and undercarriage, to make your automobile last much longer!

I installed today using their tutorial video. Tools me 1 hour. So easy, looks good

Perfect Fit. Installing it on my Subaru was as expected per the video instructions. Took about 30 minutes by my self.

Still perfect after 1 year of the initial installation.



by:

So far have not been able to attach on my own. I determined that it was not safe given the unstable jacks that I have. Will likely get a professional to install.

Quality product. No issues with it a year in. Used mainly for a mountain bike tray mount on my sedan. Does it's job and isn't too low when in some rutty terrain. We have a 1/4" model on our crv as well.

Ive had this hitch about a year and it works great. The installation went smoothly using the components provided.

  • Class II or Class III for 2010 Subaru Legacy Ground Clearance
    Honestly, going with a 1-1/4 inch hitch is only going to gain you 3/4 of an inch of increased ground clearance which is pretty minimal, I'd recommend going with the more versatile Class III hitch. If you're concerned about the bottom of the hitch receiver hitting the pavement, you could use a skid wheel like # UF48-979020 which mounts to a 2 inch receiver, and will work whether or not you have an accessory mounted in the hitch. I'd recommend going with the Curt Class III hitch, part #...

  • Trailer Hitch to Carry a Saris Hitch Mount Bike Rack with 2" Shank with a 2017 Subaru Legacy
    We actually have a solution for your 2017 Subaru Legacy to carry your Saris bike rack without the use of an adapter! The Curt Trailer Hitch # C12298 that you referenced fits a 2010 - 2014 Subaru Legacy so it won't be compatible with your 2017 model. If you like the Curt look then you would want to go with the Curt # 13390 instead which is a fit for your newer model year and has a 2" receiver. Curt does require that the stabilizer strap # 18050 be used per their warranty so if you'd rather...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2014 Subaru Legacy
    I do have an option for you, however the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12290 referenced in your question is not confirmed to fit your 2014 Subaru Legacy. This particular hitch is designed for certain model year Subaru Outback Wagons, as you noted, and it will also fit 2015-2018 models of the Subaru Legacy. It looks like there was a generation change after 2014 on the Legacy and the differences in the rear frame on the new generation allow this hitch to fit, but it will not work...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2013 Subaru Legacy Fit a 2019 Subaru Forester
    We do have trailer hitches for your 2019 Subaru Forester but the Class II 1-1/4" Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12298 you purchased for your 2013 Subaru Legacy is not compatible with your 2019 Forester. For your 2019 Forester you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13409 instead. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver so if you already have any accessories that only fit a 1-1/4" receiver you will need to use the Brophy Adapter # HT02 and use the hitch pin # PC3 or a locking...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch C12298 Fit Any 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy
    Hey Danny, Yes, you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12298 on any 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy, though not Outback. The bolts don't have to go back as they came with the hitch but you should definitely not reuse the hitch bolts or any portion of the hitch mounting hardware as it is a one-time use and re-using it damages its integrity and could be dangerous. So you will need the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches # RHK. On that page, just put "C12298" in the "Hitch Item...

  • Do Class II and III Hitches for 2012 Subaru Legacy Use Same Bolt Holes
    If you have a Curt or a Draw-Tite/Hidden Hitch, the bolt holes will remain the same if you stick with the same brand hitch. In other words, if you have the # C13158 Curt Class III hitch, and you decide to go with the Curt Class II, part # C12298, the holes will match up and you won't need to drill additional holes. All the Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite Class II and III hitches used the same holes.

  • Can Local Mechanic Install Curt Hitch C122981 on 2013 Subaru Legacy
    We are located in Missouri near St. Louis. We don't have any other locations that do installs, but a local mechanic would have no problem installing the Curt hitch part # C122981 that you referenced. You wouldn't be limited to only using a rental company that also installs hitches.
