Hi. Is there a trailer wiring harness available for the 2018 subaru crosstrek ?? I only see plug and play models available up to 2017.

We have a few trailer wiring harnesses that fit the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. I recommend the Tekonsha # 118467 because they always make quality products.

It plugs into a connector that is located either behind a trim panel in the rear cargo area or in the spare tire compartment. Then you need to insert the provided fuse into the fuse holder.

I've linked a video of the install on a 2017 model which is the same process for the 2018.

If you also need a trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Draw-Tite # 76209. It's a Class III, 2 inch receiver which is great for towing or carrying accessories.

I've also linked some general articles on towing, as well as one to help you choose the correct ball mount you need.
