You said that the brake controller output circuit was the number 2 circuit on your 7-way. If by that you mean the 2:00 position then you have the circuits flip flopped. The 2:00 position should be the 12 volt accessory circuit, not the brake output circuit. That would explain why you are getting 12 volts all the time.
The brake controller circuit should be the 5:00 position. Check out the diagram I attached to see how it should all get wired up. view full answer...
If it is the carrier that slopes inside the trailer hitch receiver you can try an anti-rattle device, like the Lets Go Aero Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232. This will help keep the carrier snug against the inside of the hitch receiver. Sometimes wheelchair carriers or carriers with ramps will slightly slope downward due to the weight of the carrier.
If the receiver of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13069 is sloped downward and there are no issues with the vehicle suspension... view full answer...
For the Thule Motion you are correct about the 16 cubic foot models, # TH629706 for black or # TH629707 for silver, would be the best bet to limit wind resistance on your 2011 Subaru Tribeca.
Another option is to use the Rightline hatch saddlebag # RL100B90. Since it is at the back of the vehicle it won't add any wind resistance.
And yet another option is to install a trailer hitch, # 75716, and then use an enclosed carrier such as the Yakima EXO carrier # Y62YR, or the massive GearSpace... view full answer...
I do have options for you to install a 7-way trailer wiring harness and brake controller on your 2009 Subaru Tribeca but we do not offer a kit with all of this included. Instead, you would need to purchase each of the components separately. For starters, you will need a 4-way trailer wiring harness if you do not already have one and for that I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118461 which is a plug and play kit that will not require any... view full answer...
In order to tow the 1976 Starcraft Starmaster 6 Pop Up Camper with your 2008 Subaru Tribeca you will need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. These will be the only requirements to tow the trailer but you may also be interested in a transmission cooler to help prolong the life of your vehicle's transmission.
For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13046. This hitch is a custom fit so no drilling is required and it is super... view full answer...
In order to mount the Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning # RR32132 to your 2008 Subaru Tribeca you will need to replace your existing Yakima Round Crossbars with aero-style units. This is because the Sunseeker requires the integrated top channels on these style bars, which aren't present on round bars like what you have.
For this I recommend the Yakima 60" JetStream Crossbars # Y00426. Since you already have a Yakima roof rack you will be able to replace just the bars using your existing mounting... view full answer...
The Pulse L cargo box # TH615 will not come in contact with the rear hatch and radio antenna of your 2010 Subaru Tribeca as long as the measurement from the front cross bar back to the radio antenna or hatch (whichever is closer) is 46-3/8 inches or less. See the diagram to the right.
The total length of the cargo box is 76-inches and please ensure you have a minimum crossbar spread of at least 23-5/8 inches in order for it to fit properly.
I included a video review for you as well. view full answer...
Absolutely!
It is not uncommon to have to bend the Long No-Drill Mounting Bracket # 18136 to make it where you can mounting a 7-way connector. There is no issue with mounting the bracket vertically and bending it a bit to allow your 7-way connector mounting bracket to fit.
I included a video of the # 18136 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
The correct hitch for your 2011 Subaru Tribeca is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13069. This is a custom fit hitch designed specifically for your vehicle. It offers the very versatile 2" reciever tube opening which is compatable with all types of hitch mounted accessories for you to use.
Should you have the need to haul a trailer you will need wiring and a ball mount. For this I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55370 which is also a custom fit part.... view full answer...
In order to determine if the Saris Traps Fork-Block Bike Carrier Base, # SATRK14, will work in a Subaru Forester or Subaru Crosstrek, you will need to take a couple of measurements.
I would start by measuring the height and width of your vehicle's cargo area to determine what we have to work with.
When it comes to the Saris Traps Fork-Block Bike Carrier Base, # SATRK14, your cargo area will need to be at least 47" wide. If a shorter track is needed, we offer a 35" Triple Track, # SATRK33.

For your 2007 Subaru Tribeca I would recommend you get a etrailer Products Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # e98874. This carrier has a folding mechanism in it to allow it to be up and out of the way when you are not using it.
This carrier measures 19-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier when down, and 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of carrier when folded up. I would measure from the center of your hitch pin... view full answer...
The closest vehicle to your 2009 Subaru Tribeca we have an install video for is a 2010 Subaru Outback. The process will be very similar so using that video as a guide will help you through the install.
The P2 part # 90885 is better than the Primus in a lot of ways. It can mount in several different orientations and has a much more advanced way of sensing deceleration so it will give you better overall braking performance.

The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, part # C13069, is a good fit for your Subaru Tribeca. This hitch comes complete with hardware and requires no welding to install. I measured the distance from the mounting flange to the center of the hitch pin hole and it measures approximately 3-7/8 inches.
The 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier, part # C18100 may be a fit for the hitch depending on the clearance. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the front edge of the carrier when folded up... view full answer...
It sounds like you have some fixed mounting points on your 2009 Subaru Tribeca that can be used to mount a roof rack system.
For your vehicle, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack System. This system consists of # RRVA137B-2 for the two 54 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Legs that will mount to the fixed points on your roof, and # DK410 for the Custom DK Fit Kit. This will provide you with a sleek, extremely quiet system that has a weight capacity of 165 pounds.... view full answer...
The Yakima HullRaiser to HullRaiser Aero Conversion Kit, Y8860031, is a Yakima product. The conversion will fit virtually all base rack cross bars, including factory cross bars. If you do not have crossbars going across your vehicle from driver side to passenger side on your factory rack, then you will need to get those. view full answer...
In order to use a brake controller, including the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller - Proportional - Trailer Mounted, # TK94FR, your 2010 Subaru Tribeca will have to have a 7-Way connector. This will require a 7 and 4 way installation kit # ETBC7, to hardwire a brake controller on the vehicle. This RF Brake Controller is a good investment if you plan on towing the trailer with multiple vehicles (each vehicle would need a 7-Way). Then you could just move the remote from vehicle to vehicle.... view full answer...
We do offer quite a few adapters to go from larger connectors to a 4-way flat connector like what is found on your tear camper.
The most common larger connector is the 7-way, so if that is what is on your new vehicle you can use the 7-Way RV to 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47365 to still use your trailer with your new tow vehicle.
I included a video of the # HM47365 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
The brackets in your picture don't look like typical Thule mounting hardware so you must be looking at a much older Thule 600 Touring roof box. If you would like to stick with square crossbars then you need the 53" long Thule SquareBar Crossbars # TH712400 and the Evo Raised Rail # TH710401.
These bars have a width of 1-1/4" and a height of 7/8". You can use these dimensions to help you determine if the cargo carrier you are looking at will fit.
I couldn't help but notice that the mounting... view full answer...
A weight distribution (and/or sway control) system is worth considering under several conditions. One is if your loaded trailer weight (GTW) is more than 50 percent of your vehicle's weight (GVWR). According to my research your Tribeca has a curb weight of 4214-lbs. With your loaded trailer weight being about 2500-lbs you are right at the point where weight distribution may help trailer and tow vehicle handling. You might refer to the linked article on weight distribution.

On the 2008 Subaru Tribeca you will either need to stow the 4-Way in the cargo area and pull it out of the rear hatch and shut the hatch on the wiring (the weather stripping will protect it, stay away from the locking mechanism) OR you will have to drill through the bottom of the cargo area if no other options are available. Be sure to seal up the hole after you are finished to keep out fumes and moisture. view full answer...
