## 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 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.

Review: Curt gets the job done. - Bought this hitch for my wife's 2025 Forester. It fit nicely, although putting a hitch on a Forester is not the easiest task. This is my 2nd hitch, on my 2nd Forester. Quality is excellent, although the hitch I got had a few scuffs on it. I would suggest to Curt to make the rectangle pieces that the carriage bolts fit into in the frame about 1/8 inch more narrow, so they can fit into the slightly larger hole that is not used for bolting, but had to be modified to get those pieces inside the frame. The holes farthest away from the bumper. Other than that... I'd say buy Curt and not Chinese... although I noticed they just raised the price on my Bronco hitch about 11% (ouch), and the Curt electronics seem a bit expensive for what you get.
Review: The Best Trailer Hitch - Bar None! - It's a Curt. That should be all you need to know to convince you to buy it over everyone else. Installation was so easy, it should be illegal. First off, they provide videos here, YouTube and their company website, showing you how to install the hitch. The hardware is simple, straight forward and strong. Next, the fishing wires are absolutely foolproof, making it all but impossible to make a mistake. And since this is the second Curt hitch I've installed, I could tell they made the fishing wires even better! They added big, blunt caps on the end of the wires, so you don't poke your eye out while fiddling around under the vehicle! And really, the fishing wires are what make it so easy. I didn't have anyone to help me install it, so I was laying on the ground, with the hitch on my chest. I threaded the wires through the bolt holes on the hitch, then lifted it into place. The wires guide the hitch, and also keep the bolts from bumping up and getting lost in the frame! That's such a helpful detail! This is a company that LISTENS to their customers! So if you're looking for a quality, strong, durable, fairly-priced, well-thought out hitch for your vehicle, then stop right here and hit the add-to-cart button. And be sure to pick up Curt wiring harness, too! Just like their hitches, they provide detailed videos that show you how to connect and install the wiring harness.
