Instructions for etrailer Hitch e42TR for Subaru Outback
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 02/06/2025 >
Question:
My son just purchased the e42TR and we received it the next day amazing! We did not receive any instructions. Can that be downloaded? Video looks very thorough but maybe a few details like torque specs and the dimensions of cutting out the bottom of the facia at the end can be found on the instructions? Thank you,

Hey James, glad the hitch # e42TR got to you quickly! I attached a link to the install instructions on this page but you might try looking down the hitch tube as sometimes they get stuffed down in there and missed. Let me know if you need any other help!

Hey James, did you end up finding the instructions for your hitch or were they tucked inside the tube like I mentioned? Your update could make it easier for others who run into the same thing.
