Question:
Looking for a hitch for my 2022 Subaru Ascent that fits behind the panel on the bumper.
asked by: Richard W
Expert Reply:
The hitch that I recommend for your 2022 Subaru Ascent is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. This hitch will also mount behind the bumper and you can access the hitch receiver by removing the bumper panel like you were looking for.
If you plan to do any towing with your Ascent, you can pick up the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118790 and the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 to round out a tow package.
