Most Popular Rise - 1 Inch for 2003 Subaru Forester

Strong and seems to be well made and well finished. One-inch ball mounting hole. I used this for a Curt hitch mounted on a 2014 Forester and pulls a small Harbor Freight trailer. Perfect height and trailer is level. Warning - don't get their hitch pin, it does not have a hole for a cotter pin, only a weak clip that I would not trust.

Very impressed with company keeping constant updates. Product was shipped very quickly. Heavy duty and extremely easy to install, granted I had a friend help and access to a lift. I will definitely be recommending etrailer to my friends.

Great service, very prompt, with good customer contact and follow-up.

The hitch works great and it was delivered FAST. I was very happy with the purchase. It was cake to install.

It looks tiny compared to other hitches, but is solid metal. The welds are fine and fits like it should. A necessary item for the trailer hitch.

Everything fit perfectly on my 2000 Subaru Forester and is still working a year after installation. I use the trailer every week.

I purchased a Curt class II hitch for my wifes subaru. I recieved it right away and the installation was a breeze. There was a simple little piece of two sided tape missing from the light wire kit. I called etrailer and George sent it to me that day. Service after the sale is what makes a good company great. I couldn't be happier. Thanks alot etrailer!

This trailer hitch was easy to install. I am eighty six years and a disabled Vet. I took my time and had it on in one and half hours. I also installed the heat deflector back on. I think this heat deflector should be reinstalled as the muffler creates a lot of heat. Saved a lot of money also as the dealer here wanted $500.00 for the hitch $60.00 for the wiring and half day to install. Thought he had a sucker but I didn't bite. Thanks much George J

Every Item I have ordered from etrailer.com has been top of the line . Easy ordering , prompt service , and excellent installment instructions . I watch the video , more than once , and follow the expert's direction . I wouldnt order trailer parts anywhere else . Thank You

Longer stinger let me drop the tailgate on my Tacoma with trailer attached. Replaced a similar but shorter Curt hitch and both are very substantial and well made for the weight of my trailer.

With good information from the website it was easy to order a Curt 2" Trailer Hitch, the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit w/ 4-Pole Connector and Circuit Tester - 119178KIT, Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches (3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 10-1/4" Long - 7,500 lbs - D-4), Curt Pin and Clip Hitch Receiver - C21500, Rubber Tube Cover for 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers - I-728,Review, and 2" hitch ball 40038. Parts were delivered earlier than the initial estimate. Self installation (on a sloped drive way) took just under 2 hour. The fit of parts was very good, instructions and on-line video's were very helpful. My Kia did not have the wire plug in option, but the splice connections in the wire kit were easy to install. Most of the parts are hidden from view when the ball mount is not used.

This ball mount is stout! And it's powder coated! This guy will last longer than the vehicle, or maybe me.

Quality products. The hitch and wiring harness installed easily because of the quality detailed installation videos you provided. I couldn't be happier. I saved $ 300 by doing the installation myself. I plan on using the hitch for a bicycle rack and to pull a motorcyle trailor. Since I don't have a pickup it is really convenient to be able to tow a utility trailor when needed. Thanks etrailer! You have a good thing going. Keep up the good work.

The 5" rise works very well on an '07 Subaru Forester to level out a utility trailer with 12" wheels. Shipping was prompt as well.

This got installed on my wife's Forester and we have used it several times for pulling a utility trailer and also for pulling our dock and raft at our camp. Very happy with the options it offers for moving more than fits in the car. Since the Forester had the dual exhaust, i did cheat and have my mechanic do the install. He did it within the hour that is advertised, but did say it would have been a bit of a challenge working at ground level. I think I still ended up paying less in total than going to a hitch installer overall, very happy with the hitch, wiring harness, and drawbar. It's especially nice to have the harness tucked away, as it doesn't get used that often.

i bout this product for my 2010 subaru forester to tow a 16" boat. It works much better than expected! The amount of cushion it provides is stellar! quite the amazing device! i will have one on every trailer that i buy.

Solid build and well designed mechanism for anti vibration!
