is this hitch invisable on a 2014 XV Crosstrek - IE mounts behind the bumper and the receiver is only visable in the bumper window?

This hitch only fits the 2009-2013 Forester. The 2014 Crosstrek uses http://www.amazon.com/Curt-13135-Class-Trailer-Receiver/dp/B00AN2L0TU/

Fits perfectly on a 2013 Lexus RX450 which should be the same as the 2015 RX350. The bumper does not need to be cut but the plastic piece underneath needs to be trimmed as it does with the factory hitch install. I had a company install it in San Diego for $75.00. Go to Curts website and the detailed installation instructions are available. The installation is much easier than the factory hitch install which I think requires the bumper cover to be taken off. The Curt hitch looks great and works well.

I installed mine just behind the cab. It can also be attached just behind the tailgate. I have a bed cover so those are the only two options.

This hitch fits a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek. You will need to contact Curt for correctness of fit. The unit is solid.

It would depend entirely on the level of your hitch. On my car, where the hitch is located just below the bumper, I have plenty of room to open the hatch on the back with the tray and cargo bag both in place. But if your hitch is located directly in the middle of your bumper like it is on some SUVs, then it might interfere. With the Armada, I think you will be totally fine.

The receiver is not included with this hitch. My SUV already had the receiver, but you might check with your local Uhaul dealer to install a hitch.

Leslie:The hitch fit like it was factory installed. Not difficult to install at all. I would recommend buying a reamer to clean the threads. It was about $ 17.00, but made the installation much easier. Good luck

I just installed this on my wife's 2014 wrangler sport and didn't need to relocate the silver canister behind the stock bumper. It stands out a bit but wasn't an issue for install.

I didn't use the rack mounted to the hitch ball hole on the bumper as it was designed. It would probably cause a problem with the shell though. I mounted mine to a piece of receiver that I slid into the receiver and that way I could move it away from any obstacles. Its a great rack and like it because of the lock. Good luck!!

When installing on my 2010 tacoma , I had to cut off my factory hitch from stock bumper mount, not difficult, works great!

Bekir, No there is no reason to cut the bumper to install this hitch. Thank you!

I have a 2013 Crosstrek, to my knowledge Subaru did not change the front bumper in 2014 but I'd check with your dealer or Subaru first. If it does fit it looks really good! Good luck!

Jim,I had another person put this on for me, but if I recall correctly, he used the existing hitch brackets on the truck and detached and discarded the ones that came with the replacement bumper. Best of luck.

Yes, I have it on my 2014 Durango now. On the other hand, the 2014 Durango has the cutout in the bumper for a factory hitch so I plan to replace it with a factory hitch, which would be much stronger, and look much better. The Curt hitch strength relies on the bolts on the side of the frame, where the factory one is inside the frame. Also, the Curt one hangs down below the bumper, so besides looks it could bottom out sooner if you off road. It is a super simple install though.

No it will not, I have a factory installed hitch on mine, no problems, not sure about aftermarket hitches though, but I think it will be OK.

this hitch mounts to the original location as the factory hitch I ordered the car with. But, the OE class II hitch didn't work work my Kuat NV bike rack. I don't tow anything with the Crosstrek, but the class III is a better/more stable platform for the bike rack. I'm an ASE master tech myself, I just removed the OE hitch & installed this one. Tow rating of the car doesn't change with the hitch. I think for the Crosstrek/Impreza it's 1500lbs w a trailer brake, & 750lb with out one.

It is completely concealed within the rear bumper. If you're insinuating that there is drag as a result of installing this, which would decrease mileage, that has not been observed. This should be the absolute least concern. The hitch is great!
