This accessory slides into the receiver tube of your Subaru hitch and provides a secure connection point for the trailer coupler using a trailer ball. When selecting a ball mount, ensure it matches your hitch’s shank size, ball diameter, weight capacity, and the necessary drop or rise for proper towing alignment.

A hitch pin secures the ball mount or other hitch accessory inside the receiver tube of your Subaru Crosstrek hitch. Make sure to choose a hitch pin that fits the hole diameter of your receiver. Some ball mounts come with a hitch pin included, so check before purchasing.

A hitch tube cover helps protect your hitch when it’s not in use. While your Subaru Crosstrek hitch features an open-back design for easy cleaning, a cover adds extra protection against dirt and debris. Be sure to select a hitch cover that matches your receiver tube opening for a secure fit.

1. Can you put a hitch on a Subaru Crosstrek?

Yes, you can install a tow hitch on a Subaru Crosstrek. CURT custom-fit hitches are designed specifically for the Crosstrek, allowing you to tow small trailers, mount bike racks, or attach cargo carriers. When choosing a receiver hitch, ensure it is compatible with your Crosstrek’s model year and towing capacity.

2. How much does it cost to have a hitch installed on a Subaru?

The cost to install a hitch on a Subaru Crosstrek typically ranges from $300 to $800, depending on the parts and labor involved. The hitch itself usually costs between $150 and $400, depending on the brand, quality, and towing capacity. Labor costs for professional installation can range from $100 to $300. This price varies based on the installer, your location, and whether any modifications are needed for a proper fit. Some people choose to install the hitch themselves to save on labor costs. If you plan to tow a trailer, you may also need a wiring harness to connect the trailer lights. This can add another $50 to $200 to the total cost, depending on whether you install it yourself or have it professionally done. For the most accurate pricing, check with local auto shops, dealerships, or hitch installation specialists.

3. Does installing a trailer hitch on a Subaru Crosstrek void my warranty?

No, installing a trailer hitch does not automatically void your Subaru warranty. If you're worried, you can always ask your Subaru dealership about their stance on trailer hitches. But legally, they cannot void your entire warranty just for adding a hitch.

4. Can you put a 2" hitch on a Subaru Crosstrek?

Yes, you can put a 2-inch hitch on a Subaru Crosstrek. Keep in mind that the hitch's weight capacity might be higher than the vehicle's towing capacity, but that doesn’t mean the vehicle can tow more. You must always abide by the lowest-rated towing component whether that's your car, hitch, or accessory. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's specifications and check your vehicle's owner's manual.
