CURT 12198 is a Class 2 trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver for 2019-2026 Subaru Forester.
Rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight. The 1-1/4" receiver is open at the back, so road dirt and water clear the tube instead of packing into it. The brackets are made for this vehicle, so the crossmember lands on the factory mounting points.

- Vehicle-specific fit onto factory mounting points
