Hello Dave,

We really appreciate your business, thank you!

Yes, the U-Haul couplers sit at about 18", and from the ground to the inside top of the receiver for the Curt # C12184 on a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is 15". That means you’ll need a 3" rise.

I recommend our etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball - 2" Hitch - 4" Drop - 7,500 lbs # e77DR. When inverted, it provides a 2 3/4" rise. You will likely need a shop to remove the ball, flip it, and torque it to 250 ft-lbs, most people don’t have a wrench that can handle that level of torque.

Sounds like a big move coming up! Where are you and the Mrs. headed?

@Dave Well then Dave, it will be a bittersweet move. I am not looking forward to my son taking off to college next year, but I guess we need to let them go spread their wings. Hope you have a smooth move, and that you kiddo has a wonderful college experience, and finds the career that will make them happy, because their happiness is all that really matters =)
