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 Outback and Subaru Legacy (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 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.

CURT trailer hitches feature a durable black finish designed to help protect against rust, scratches and exposure to road conditions. Many models install using existing holes in the vehicle frame, although drilling, trimming or temporary removal of vehicle components may be required for certain applications.
Use our vehicle fitment tools to find the correct CURT 2" trailer hitch for your year, make and model. Always compare the hitch rating with your vehicle’s towing capacity and the ratings of every component in your towing setup. The maximum towing capacity is determined by the lowest-rated component.

Required tools: 11/16", 10mm, 14mm, and 17mm sockets; socket extension (6"); ratchet; torque wrench; tape measure; masking tape; safety glasses; aviation shears; and fishwire (7/16", 2 qty included). For a full tools reference guide, visit curtmfg.com/trailer-hitch-installation.
You will need 11/16", 10mm, 14mm, and 17mm sockets, plus a 6" socket extension, ratchet, and torque wrench.
The kit includes: 2 carriage bolts (7/16"-14 x 1-1/4", grade 8); 4 hex bolts (M10 x 1.25 – 35); 2 serrated-flange nuts (7/16" – 14); 4 conical-toothed washers (3/8"); and 2 fishwire tools (7/16").
Yes. Installation requires removal of the bumper cover (Step 2) and bumper beam (Step 3). Both are reinstalled after the hitch is mounted and the bumper fascia is trimmed (Steps 5–7). The bumper cover has electrical connectors that must be disconnected during removal.
No drilling is required. However, the installation requires partial removal and trimming of the underbody panel and trimming of the bumper fascia using the trim diagram provided in Step 7.
Yes. Step 7 requires trimming the bumper fascia using the trim diagram provided. The underbody panel also requires partial removal and trimming.
If your vehicle has mud flaps, they must be removed first using an 8mm socket to remove two bolts and a flathead screwdriver to remove two push fasteners. Save them for reinstallation in Step 7.
1. Remove seven plastic fasteners from bumper cover bottom and one from each wheel well (Step 1). 2. Remove bumper cover and disconnect electrical connectors (Step 2). 3. Remove four bolts and two nuts from bumper beam using 17mm and 14mm sockets; save nuts (Step 3). 4. Raise hitch into position, slide tabs into frame rail, and fishwire carriage bolts through side plate and frame rail; secure with serrated-flange nuts (Step 4). 5. Place bumper beam over hitch and secure with saved nuts; loosely install M10 bolts and conical-toothed washers (Step 5). 6. Torque all hardware (Step 6). 7. Trim bumper fascia and reinstall bumper cover (Step 7).
Insert the coiled end of the fishwire through the hitch mounting hole in the vehicle frame rail and out the access hole. Pass the coiled end through the spacer and thread the bolt into the coil. Kink the wire to keep the spacer separate from the bolt. Pull the fishwire, spacer, and bolt through the frame and out the mounting hole. Use the fishwire to guide the hitch during mounting and prevent loss of the bolt or spacer inside the frame rail.
Leave the M10 bolts and conical-toothed washers loose during Step 5. Tighten all hardware to final torque specifications only in Step 6, after the bumper beam is positioned over the hitch.
Torque all M10 hardware to 45 ft-lbs and all 7/16" hardware to 59 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening and prevent damage to the product or vehicle.
M10 hardware: 45 ft-lbs. 7/16" hardware: 59 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench for proper installation.

Yes. Save all fasteners removed during installation for reinstallation: the seven plastic fasteners from the bumper cover bottom and one from each wheel well (Step 1), the two nuts from the bumper beam (Step 3), and the two bolts and two push fasteners from mud flaps if present (Step 1 note). All are reinstalled in Step 7.
