Yes, the 09 - 13 Subaru Forester 2in. CURT Trailer Hitch + Ball Mount + Cover + Lock Kit HWA2270 (Part #HWA2270) is designed to fit the 2009-2013 Subaru Forester.
The 09 - 13 Subaru Forester 2in. CURT Trailer Hitch + Ball Mount + Cover + Lock Kit HWA2270 (Part #HWA2270) fits the following vehicles: 2009-2013 Subaru Forester. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The 09 - 13 Subaru Forester 2in. CURT Trailer Hitch + Ball Mount + Cover + Lock Kit HWA2270 (Part #HWA2270) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The manual does not provide the specific gross load capacity value. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for this specification.
Yes, Curt part 13147 is designed for the Subaru Forester. However, you must verify that your vehicle's exhaust system can be lowered and that the frame rail holes can be modified as described in the installation instructions. If you have questions about your specific model year or configuration, contact Curt technical support at 1-877-287-8634.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The hitch itself has a gross load capacity, but your vehicle's engine, transmission, brakes and frame set the actual limit. Consult your Subaru owner's manual for the maximum towing weight your Forester can safely handle.
Non-trailer loads applied to this hitch must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. Do not rely on the hitch alone to carry cargo.
You will need: flat screwdriver, die grinder with carbide bit (or round file), drill, 17/32" drill bit, ratchet, 3/4" socket, 10" extension, and torque wrench.
The kit includes: two 1/2" fishwire, four 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 carriage bolts (1-1/2" long, yellow zinc plated), four 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.50" square hole spacers (CM-SP10), and four 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 serrated flange nuts (yellow zinc plated).
Yes. You must lower the exhaust for ease of installation. This requires removing five rubber hangers. Use a spray lubricant or soapy water on the hanger rod and isolator to ease removal. The exhaust is re-installed after the hitch is secured.
Yes. You must remove the frame rail hole plugs using a screwdriver, then enlarge and modify the holes. One hole ("A") requires modification using a die grinder or round file to allow insertion of the 1/2-13 bolts and CM-SP10 spacers. The other hole ("B") requires enlargement using a 17/32" drill bit to allow the 1/2-13 bolt threads to protrude through the frame rail. Refer to the Heat Shield Diagram in the manual for exact locations.
Fishwire is a technique to insert fasteners into holes that are difficult to access. The manual includes a "Fishwire Technique" diagram and a "Reverse Pull Fishwire Technique" diagram showing how to thread the 1/2-13 carriage bolts and CM-SP10 spacers into holes A and B respectively. Refer to these diagrams in the manual for the step-by-step procedure.
All 1/2-13 fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightness.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. No specific interval is stated in the manual; contact Curt technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for recommended maintenance intervals.
