Description

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. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Subaru Forester (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 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.

  • Hidden hitch
Fantastic fitment. Not a single fight to get it to go In place every hole lined right up. Build quality is spot on for this being a cheaper option I was thoroughly impressed. Instructions were actually easy to follow. A big plus to them for including all new hardware as well. I was expecting to have to use the old hardware but that was not the case. Do NOTE: that this does remove the crash bar and will now act as your new crash bar. Functions just like a normal hitch would but you don’t have to sacrifice your vehicles good looks. Recommendations: just remove the muffler. You can totally work around it but the thing kept getting in way even after removing the hangers. Total time: about 3hrs doing it myself and taking time not to break any of the clips. Definitely recommend. ... show more

  • Excellent hidden receiver hitch for your Subaru Forester!
I love the way this hitch is hidden from view under the rear bumper cover. This hitch requires no drilling of the unibody frame rails in order to mount the hitch. The design was well thought out and completely replaces the factory Subaru bumper reinforcement bolting directly to the factory mounting studs and holes. The process of removing the tail lights, bumper cover, and muffler was not too difficult in order to complete the installation. None of the clips were broken after removing these parts so everything went back together with no issues. I found the included hardware kit was missing a couple of the conical tooth washers. I was able to substitute the missing washers with something similar I had laying around my garage but this could be a pain point for some users if you have to find some at a hardware store or order from the manufacturer. Trimming out the exhaust heat shield was very simple and I used a Dremel tool to complete the trimming. To make the lower bumper valance trimming easier, I removed it from the plastic upper bumper cover (push on the clips inside the bumper and the valance comes right off). I wish Curt would have included a paper template that I could have used to make the cut out notch in the plastic valance panel easier. I traced the section of plastic I cut out with my Dremel tool and uploaded a photo that could be used as a template. Once the valance trim was notched out there was just the perfect amount of spacing around the hitch and the plastic valance trim. I use the hitch for my bike rack and I'm really pleased with this product. I'm sure many other Subaru Forester owners will be very happy with this hitch as well. ... show more

  • They make it sounds like 2 hours, it took us 10 lol
So it’s actually pretty easy but very tedious and you have to be careful with the car. But once everything is done it’s chill.
