Question:
WHAT TRAILER HITCH WILL FIT MY 2021 SUBARU ASCENT?
asked by: Terry G
Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2021 Subaru Ascent is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13400 for visible or part # C25VR for hidden. The hidden hitch will take more time to install as you haver to remove the rear bumper but it also makes for the best finished product. It's not actually as challenging as it may sound to remove the rear bumper but if you don't want to do this or don't mind seeing the crosstube hanging down below the bumper you can just go with the visible option. The hidden hitch is installed in the bumper cutout.
I have attached photos of both options below.
