Difference Between Curt and etrailer Hitches for a 2022 Subaru Crosstrek
Question:
What's the difference between the Curt and etrailer hitches for my 2022 Crosstrek? I'm looking to add a hitch so I can transport my bikes.

The Curt # C13382 and etrailer # e98912 hitches for your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek have the same construction, capacities, and design, but the big difference is that the Curt hitch has the classic glossy finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish which does a better job at blending in with your vehicle bumper fascia and hiding any scratches that might happen due to road debris.
I recommend going with the etrailer hitch because of all of this. I've attached an installation video of this hitch on a 2021 Crosstrek for you to check out.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G. This is a higher-end bike rack that is very easy to use and fits with a large variety of bike designs. One of the best things about this rack is the built-in bike repair stand that allows you to adjust and repair your bikes at the back of your vehicle.
