I just took ownership of a brand new 2021 Ascent Premium! Love it! I will be towing a very small and lightweight trailer with it. From all the suggestions I have read, I will probably buy & install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 brake controller, but I do have a question: Does the 2021 Ascent Premium have a custom brake control wiring adapter in it? I did not get any kind of tow package with the vehicle, so I assume not, but before I order one, I want to make sure. Thanks ahead of time for any help!
Get the OEM hitch. All the necessary rear-end wiring is included and everything else is pre-run. Your car will come with a plug near the drivers left foot to attach a brake controller. There ought to be a pigtail connector (maybe in the glovebox) that you can combine with the pigtail included with the brake controller.
So, do I have to buy the OEM Hitch from Subaru? Or can I purchase it elsewhere? (I just ordered a hitch from E-trailer...). And stupid me...is OEM a brand or an acronym for something?
Part number for the hitch is L101SXC004
Part number for the ball mount is L101SXC401 though lots of people use a different one. Typically a 6 inch drop will work.

Yeah, cheaper elsewhere, but not so much when you have to figure in shipping cost. Amazon ships free if you are a Prime member. Gonna find all my options.
I'm trying to get the Ascent prepped for camping so I ordered these up last night. L101SXC004 Trailer Hitch and SOA567X010 Extended Cross Bars. Will be towing a large pop-up camper and adding a roof box to the top. I probably could have used the standard aero bars but wanted the additional width...
