Yes, the 06 - 07 Subaru B9 Tribeca 2in. CURT Trailer Hitch + Ball Mount + Cover + Lock Kit HWA2254 (Part #HWA2254) is designed to fit the 2006-2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca.
The 06 - 07 Subaru B9 Tribeca 2in. CURT Trailer Hitch + Ball Mount + Cover + Lock Kit HWA2254 (Part #HWA2254) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, Curt part number 13046 is designed for Subaru Tribeca. The hitch is a weight-carrying and weight-distribution hitch with a 40 lb hitch weight.
You will need: socket wrench with 9/16" and 3/4" sockets, small flathead screwdriver, and torque wrench.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing access holes in the vehicle's bumper beam and A-frame.
Yes, you must lower the spare tire at the beginning of installation (Step 1) and raise it back into position at the end (Step 8).
Torque all 3/8" hardware to 37 ft-lbs and all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs.
The hitch weight is 40 lbs.
The manual indicates that Curt 13046 can be used as either a weight-carrying hitch or a weight-distribution hitch, with different gross load capacities for each mode. However, the specific load capacity values are not filled in on the manual provided. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact capacity ratings.
The kit includes: 2× 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts (part 10-10288), 2× 3/8-16 UNC carriage bolts (part 10-10473), 2× 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), 2× 3/8-16 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00102), 2× 0.250 × 1.00 × 3.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP6), 2× 0.250 × 1.00 × 2.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP18), 2× 3/8" fishwires (part 3_8 FISHWIRE), and 2× 1/2" fishwires (part 1_2 FISHWIRE).
The fishwire technique is used to position carriage bolts and spacers into the vehicle's bumper beam and A-frame without losing hardware. In Step 3, 3/8" carriage bolts and SP18 spacers are fishwired into the bumper beam using 3/8" fishwires. In Step 4, 1/2" carriage bolts and SP6 spacers are fishwired into the vehicle's A-frame using 1/2" fishwires. The fishwires are left attached during initial positioning to prevent losing hardware, then removed when the hitch is raised into position.
Two plastic fascia tabs are removed from the vehicle in Step 2 using a small flathead screwdriver to access the bumper beam. These tabs are re-installed in Step 7 after the hitch is secured.
All 3/8" hardware on Curt 13046 must be torqued to 37 ft-lbs.
All 1/2" hardware on Curt 13046 must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs.
Yes. After raising the hitch into position and removing the fishwires in Step 4, finger tighten the 3/8" flange nuts before proceeding. All fasteners are then torqued to specification in Step 6.
1. Lower the spare tire. 2. Remove two plastic fascia tabs with a small flathead screwdriver. 3. Fishwire 3/8" carriage bolts and SP18 spacers into the bumper beam using 3/8" fishwires, leaving fishwires attached. 4. Raise the hitch into position, remove fishwires, and finger tighten 3/8" flange nuts. 5. Fishwire 1/2" carriage bolts and SP6 spacers into the A-frame using 1/2" fishwires. 6. Install 1/2" flange nuts. 7. Torque all 3/8" hardware to 37 ft-lbs and all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs. 8. Re-install the two plastic fascia tabs. 9. Raise the spare tire back into position.
Do not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The manual states that Curt 13046 has different gross load capacities when used as a weight-carrying hitch versus a weight-distribution hitch, but the specific capacity values are not provided in the manual. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact capacity ratings for your vehicle.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, so regular visual inspection before towing is recommended.
