This hitch gives your vehicle the muscle to haul more gear without going overboard. With a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 525-lb tongue weight rating, it’s right in that sweet spot for light towing and everyday use. Hook up a small trailer, haul a couple of motorcycles, or attach a cargo carrier for road trips. The 2" x 2" receiver opening is the standard size for most bike racks, cargo trays, and ball mounts, so your gear options stay wide open.
You don’t need to weld or modify anything to get this hitch installed. It’s designed to bolt right onto the frame using the included complete hardware kit and instructions. The precision, robotic welding keeps everything lined up so the holes match up where they should. It’s a straightforward setup whether you’re working in your garage or helping someone else put it on.
Instead of the usual glossy finish that shows every scratch, this hitch has a rugged matte black powder coat over a protective base coat. That combination keeps corrosion at bay and hides scuffs, dirt, and dings better than shiny paint can. The round-tube design adds a bit of style under the bumper without looking bulky, so it still blends cleanly with your vehicle’s look.
The fully welded steel construction maximizes strength and gives you a sturdy connection point for towing or carrying accessories. Every weld is done by robot for consistency and durability. It’s dependable hardware backed by lifetime technical support from the experts who build and test these hitches every day—so when you’re ready to load up the bikes or head out with the trailer, you can trust it’ll hold up trip after trip.

I am glad to hear you were able to knock it out yourself after watching our video. It is not the hardest job in the world with the right tools and time! Looks great on the vehicle as well. I do want to add, some people have had success with the liftgate sensor by moving to the right or the left of the hitch. Some vehicles it will not work but some people have tried swinging their foot off center and had success. What are you planning on using the hitch for?

This hitch was such a precise fit to existing OEM drilled holes in the frame, it was as if Subaru had made the hitch. I worried about hooking up the electric wiring harness. but it turned out that I found the OEM electric built-in lighting plug...geewhiz, a click and I had teaiker light power.

a year in the rack is great, it only gets used for the bike rack but that was the idea for the purchase, was of the hitch mount versus the roof top rack .

After one year, the hitch has hit no unexpected surprises, works great though it usually just gets used for a bicycle rack
