Yes, the CURT 11120 is designed for 2011-Current Subaru Impreza WRX including STI hatchback models. However, some trim levels with high-end exhaust systems may not be compatible, so you should verify fitment before purchasing.
The manual notes that although the hitch has been designed to fit this vehicle, some trim levels with high-end exhaust systems may not be compatible. Contact CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 to confirm compatibility with your specific exhaust system before installation.
The CURT 11120 has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The CURT 11120 is designed for use with ballmount #55001 or #45501. Euro mount options are available: #45571 (1 7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball).
You will need: pry bar, screwdriver, 10 mm socket, 11/16" socket, ratchet, marker, utility knife, torque wrench, and tape measure. Safety glasses should be worn at all times during installation.
The kit includes: (4) 7/16-14 UNC 1-1/2" Grade 8 carriage bolts (part 10-10282), (4) 7/16-14 UNC Grade 8 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00103), (4) 0.250 x 0.88 x 2.25" square hole spacers (part CM-SP2), and (4) 7/16" fishwires (part 7_16 FISHWIRE).
The manual does not specify that the battery must be disconnected for this installation.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends having a second person available to help, though it does not state that two people are absolutely required.
Yes, fascia trimming is required. You must trim the vehicle rear fascia according to the trim diagram on the manual. Trim dimensions are approximate (4 inches from center line on one side, 1 5/8 inches on the other), so you should check fit prior to completing the trim. Use a utility knife for trimming.
Yes, you must lower the exhaust by removing (5) exhaust hangers. Be sure to support the exhaust to avoid possible damage during this step. The exhaust hangers are rubber isolators that must be removed before proceeding with hitch installation.
The fishwire technique is used to thread the 7/16" carriage bolts and CM-SP2 spacers into the bumper beam through access holes. The fishwires are attached to the hardware and pulled through the mounting holes to position the bolts. The manual includes a FISHWIRE TECHNIQUE diagram. Leave fishwires attached to hardware to prevent loss in the beam.
The reverse fishwire technique is used to position the 7/16" carriage bolts and CM-SP2 spacers into each frame rail. This technique is illustrated in the REVERSE PULL FISHWIRE TECHNIQUE diagram on page 2 of the manual. This step is performed after removing the forward most rubber plug from each frame rail.
Yes, you must remove (2) brackets which hold the fascia to the vehicle in step 2. These brackets are temporarily removed to allow fascia trimming and hitch installation. You must reinstall these (2) brackets in the final step (step 9) after the hitch is torqued into position.
All 7/16" hardware (the carriage bolts and serrated flange nuts) must be torqued to 70 ft-lbs. This torque specification applies to all four mounting points: two in the frame rails and two in the bumper beam.
You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Although the CURT 11120 has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit. Always follow your vehicle manufacturer's towing recommendations.
Yes. The manual strongly recommends the use of CURT 18050 stabilizing straps for all non-trailer (wheel-less) loads. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. All non-trailer loads applied to this product must be supported by 18050 stabilizing straps.
After installation, periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection is critical to safe operation and is mentioned multiple times in the manual as a maintenance requirement.
The manual states you should periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. It does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection before towing is recommended as a best practice.
