Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Ball Mount for 2024 Subaru WRX

Question

Question:

Looking for a hitch for my 2024 Subaru WRX. I am planning on towing a single uhaul motorcycle trailer with a 400lb bike in it. I am pretty set on the Curt 1 1/4 hitch you have, but wanted to check to make sure you recommend that. I have C84ZV, C56ZV, and e47DR in my cart. Am I good to go?

Hey Bernard, yes the Curt hitch part # C84ZV is correct for your 2024 Subaru WRX and would be a great option for a small trailer. Then for trailer wiring the Curt # C56ZV is the correct fit and the ball mount part # e47DR would be a great option as well.
