Question:
Do you have a trailer hitch for a 2013 Subaru cross trek?
asked by: Nick A
Expert Reply:
We do indeed offer hitch fit options for the 2013 Subaru Crosstrek.
If your Crosstrek is equipped with the knock-out panel in the rear bumper panel, and you'd like a partially concealed hitch that mounts behind the bumper with only the receiver tube and safety chain loops being visible, I'd recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7203. This hitch only works on Crosstrek models with the bumper knock-out panel.
If you'd like a standard, fully visible hitch, I'd recommend the etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e98838. If a visible hitch doesn't bother you, this option is quite a bit less expensive. I've provided a side by side photo showing what each hitch looks like once its installed.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing setup. For a trailer wiring harness, use # 118467. If you go with the etrailer brand hitch, use the # D-28 ball mount along with the # PC3 hitch pin. If you go with the EcoHitch model, use # 2753 which includes the hitch pin. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.
I've linked to some installation videos that you might find helpful.
