CURT parts for the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek

Your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek has two CURT hitches to choose from, and the right one comes down to what you're pulling and what you'll hang off the receiver. CURT 13382 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 525 lb tongue weight, $278.81 CAD.

CURT 12184 is a Class 2 hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight, $278.81 CAD. Both ship free anywhere in Canada.

Trailer lights are a plug-in job on this one. CURT 56040 is the four-flat plug harness for the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek, $62.08 CAD, and it clicks into the factory connector so you're not splicing wires behind the bumper.

What you need to tow with a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek

A bike rack only needs the hitch. A trailer needs all three, and every piece ships free anywhere in Canada.

  1. CURT 13382 hitch, $278.81 CAD. The receiver that bolts to the Crosstrek.
  2. CURT 56040 wiring harness, $62.08 CAD. Plugs in, no splicing; the trailer lights follow the Crosstrek's.
  3. CURT 45836 ball mount, $41.70 CAD. Ball mount with the ball already on it, ready to hook a trailer. Bigger coupler? CURT 45041 carries a 2-5/16-inch ball, $62.42 CAD.

2021 Subaru Crosstrek hitch questions

Which trailer hitch fits a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek?

CURT 13382 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 3,500 lb) and CURT 12184 (Class 2, 1-1/4 inch receiver, 3,500 lb) both fit. Pick the class that covers your trailer with room to spare, then check the fit table on the product page for your build.

How much can a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek tow with this hitch?

The hitch is rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 525 lb tongue weight. Your Crosstrek has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.

Do I need a wiring harness for the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek?

If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 56040 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Crosstrek's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
