Question:
I have a 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness… will this hitch work on the wilderness trim level?
asked by: Mark
Expert Reply:
Yes, it does. The Curt Hitch item # C13409 does fit the Wilderness model of the 2023 Subaru Forester. However, I recommend using the etrailer Hitch item # e83ZR instead. This is our house brand hitch but is manufactured to the same specifications as the Curt item # C13409 you were looking at. The only difference, other than price, is the matte black finish. I find this blends in better beneath the vehicle than the glossy finished Curt hitches.
I have linked an installation video below along with the instructions to help you get this hitch set up.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56040 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
