2024 Subaru Ascent Concealed Trailer Hitch Recommendation
Updated 01/05/2026 | Published 09/25/2024
Question:
Good day, I was looking for a trailer brake controller for a 2024 Subaru Ascent. Something low profile that would blend into the factory look of the vehicle.

Hey Christopher, I've got the perfect hitch for your 2024 Subaru Ascent!
I recommend picking up the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR because it not only sits behind your rear bumper fascia (so it can be completely hidden when not in use), but it also has a matte black finish which helps it blend in better with any black trim on your vehicle.
We've actually had the opportunity to install this on a 2021 Ascent so I'm attaching that video as well as some photos of the finished installation for your reference.
