Hitch on new purchase

[semag93]

I think we're about to purchase a new 2025 Crosstrek Wilderness. I don't believe the one on the lot has a hitch already, should we get one ordered from factory with a one or is it the same if the dealer adds it?

There are only two hitch companies, so maybe you could compare the items and prices?

OK, Tks
But I'm concerned about the difference in warranty, structural-strength, look (do they have to cut bumper), other factors?

I do not believe that there are any "Subaru" hitches. They're out by Curt, Draw-Tite, Reese. U-haul is the same, they're just rebranded.

If there is any warranty connection, which I doubt, it would be about towing weight and car maintenance (oil kept cool and not "worn out" and engine temp kept in check.

Neither. Get a Curt.
