Question:
Will this TowSmart hitch fit my 2025 Crosstrek Wilderness? I read that the Wilderness models sometimes sit higher and thought older generation needed different parts, like roof rack maybe? idk.

Good question, Megan - and you’re right, the Wilderness sits higher and is rated for 3,500 lbs towing (more than other trim levels), but the TowSmart hitch # TS68ZR does fit that model perfectly too. The cross tube is slightly more visible on Wilderness trims because of the different bumper design, but it bolts right up using the factory frame holes with no drilling required.
The install’s pretty DIY-friendly - should complete it in under an hour, especially if you have a helper to hold the hitch in place. We have it rated for about 40 minutes, and I think that is accurate since I've done some similar installs myself in about an hour or less.
Planning to tow or just use it for a rack / cargo carrier? If towing a trailer, you'll also want to get a wiring kit 4 way like # C56040 ( or # C59496 for hybrids) and maybe a ball mount if you don't already have one, such as # e67DR.

Thanks, Andrew! I’ll probably start out with a bike rack and maybe add a cargo carrier later. Does this hitch sit low enough that I’ll have clearance ?
