Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers.

This particular kit fits certain years of the Subaru Crosstrek and XV Crosstrek (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 525 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.

    First of all Amazon did a great job packaging and protecting this hitch for shipment! All parts were present as would be expected. (I ordered and received the hitch in April 2022.) The hitch appears to be very sturdy. I installed a Curt hitch on a Mazda vehicle years ago and expected that this install would go just as smooth. I did not check the installation videos before my decision to purchase this Curt hitch for our Subaru. As it turned out, installation requires enlarging 2 holes on the frame of our vehicle - no problem I spent about a day looking for a die grinder bit (decided on a diamond grinder bit from Harbor Freight) which it seems can only readily be found for a Dremel tool which was fine since I already have a Dremel but once I start enlarging the holes, my Dremel tool got hot really fast, thermal tripped, and shut off. I put it in front of a fan for at least an hour for it to cool down, smacked it to reset it and it was able to be used again. Once I started looking at the bolts provided with the hitch, i realized that the placement of the shim in the installation instructions appears to be backwards. It should be at the rear-most position instead of the forward position. This is because some additional clearance is needed between the body of the vehicle and the hitch frame. Further, the larger diameter bolts for the holes where the shims get placed are the wrong length. They are barely long enough to accommodate the thickness of the shims between the hitch and the vehicle frame. The smaller diameter bolts are actually too long for their application (if you follow the instructions). Clearly it appears that they intended to place the shims in the same holes as the longer bolts, but the instructions show the opposite. Ideally, the larger diameter bolts should be at the rearmost position (greatest load bearing at the rear) and the smaller diameter bolts should be in the forward position. Anyway, the final humor to this story was that Curt said that it should take 30 minutes to install the hitch. With the rainy weather and looking for the right tool bit, it only took us about 3 days! In the end, I suppose that I am a satisfied customer but more wary than before of spending too much time on installation. In the future, I am not going to automatically trust that a Curt hitch is going to install quick and easy. I will consider other options first should I purchase another hitch.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Solid looking tow hitch
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020
    I read a few reviews that said the packaging was bad and pieces were missing so I was pretty worried. The box did come a bit beat up, but that's understandable due to how heavy the tow hitch is. They wrapped up and tapped the bag with all the hardware very well to the tow hitch so none of the parts were missing for me.

    I installed everything myself and was not too bad overall. I didn't want to cut into the frame mainly because I didn't have a dremel. Even though all the tutorials out there tell you to drill into the frame, the Subaru dealer told me they remove the bumper for installation so I went that route. It took about an hour to remove the bumper, but know that I know how to, it would probably take me less than 20 minutes. Installation was easy, and I was able to lift one side with my thigh while installing the nuts on the other side. I would recommend this tow hitch to others. The dealer charges $450 for the tow hitch and $450 for installation so $120 + DIY installation is a big win :)

    If anyone removes the bumpers, just be careful not to break any of the clips around the top of the bumper. They are very easy to pull off gently except for the clips right above the top center. I had to get under the car, pull up on the bottom of the bumper, and reach towards the inside of the bumper and gently push outwards. You can see where the clips are attached if you go under the car. There were two push pins that I broke around the wheel assembly, but those are easily replaceable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2018
    Please note, at the time of this review the hitch is installed but the trailer has not been towed more than 100 yards. I simply put it back behind the shed after testing it. However, the fitment is good and the installation is not too hard. It is not clear in the description, or at least I did not see it, but you will have to make a small and simple alteration to the frame of the car. We are talking like maybe a quarter inch in total.

    When under the vehicle there are three holes on each side of the frame. This entire hitch can be installed with only small alterations to the hole closest to the rear of the car (on both passenger and driver sides). You will need to make that hole larger to fit the bolts into the frame. I did this by hand in about 5 minutes using a simple Round Metal Bastard File like this one:

    https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-22-178-10-Inch-Single-Bastard/dp/B004EBJF34/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1527793659&sr=8-6&keywords=round+metal+file&dpID=316x7iaeDnL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

    You will need to grind that most aft hole to look like my hand drawn photo. Once you do that everything can be fed through the enlarged hole and installed. Follow the instructions and you will be fine. I recommend getting all of the bolts & spacers into place and then installing the hitch. Unless you have the strength to hold that hitch against the frame with one hand and attach the nut with the other, you will need help.

    The instructions say 30 minutes for amateur installation but its probably closer to 45 minutes. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE: after installing the hitch correct the first time, I felt the metal spacers may not be needed. I was wrong. They serve a purpose. I'm telling you this because during the process of putting them back in I accidentally pushed a bolt into the frame. I struggled for 30 minutes to get it out of there. Under no circumstance do you want to do that.
