Question:

Thanks! Always appreciated. You guys are great. How about compared to the Ecohitch invisi brand? I’ll probably get the etrailer as your stuff is great, just want to make sure.

The difference between the Curt # C25VR and etrailer # e55ZR trailer hitches for your 2022 Subaru Ascent is that the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish that is a bit more robust than the Curt. The matte black finish does a better job at matching black trim on vehicle as well as hiding scratches that might happen from road debris hitting the hitch.

Attached is an installation video of the etrailer hitch on a 2021 Ascent for you to check out. The installation will be the exact same for both hitches. If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be happy to make a recommendation for you.

The EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7381 is another solid choice for your 2022 Subaru Ascent but it essentially installs the same way with the main difference being those insert "wings" that sit and secure inside your frame. These aren't really necessary though which is why the Curt and etrailer hitches don't have them. I don't have a problem with the EcoHitch brand or the hitch quality but I do feel like they overprice their products so I typically only recommend them if they are the only hidden style or if they are the only 2" receiver hitch for any given vehicle.
