Question:
I just put on a Curt hitch I got from you guys on my 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness Edition I want to install trailer wiring with a round 7 pin connector. The plug in my trunk has 6 pins. What do I need from you guys to make this work?

Hello George,
In order to get a 7 way on the back of your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness, you will need to start with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118467.
The # 118467 will get the 4 flat on the back, but then you will have to build on top of it by install the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires # ETBC7.
The # ETBC7 is a little more work to install than the # 118467, as you will need to run a power cord from the batter, some Amps along the way, and a brake wire to the rear of the Subaru as well. I do not have an install video on a 2024, but I did attach one on a 2015 so you can see what you are getting yourself into.
Need a ball mount, check out our etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball - 2" Hitch - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs # e67DR. I really like how our hitch ball comes in a black nickel plating, really gives it a nice sleek design.
What are you looking to tow with your Subaru?
