Question:

I just received a few items, a hitch, flat 5 trailer connector and a 4 wire convertor. the problem is the way they descript the 4 wire converter I just has to unplug the flat 4 wire connector and put the flat 5 on the convertor. Now that I see it I can you cant do it so what do I need to make this work with the flat 5 wire and I guess I need to return the 4 wire convertor.

In order to install a 5-way trailer connector on a 2020 Subaru Crosstrek you'll need to start with a 4-way, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118467 which is a direct plug-n-play fit. Then, you can convert this to a 5-way trailer connector using the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter part # 20036. They don't offer a direct plug-in 5-way so this is your only option.
