I see that getting a factory installed hitch has some advantages. The dealers seem to want to install them themselves. Is there a different purchase code for the factory vs dealer installation?
Thanks

I ordered my Touring around 1 April with factory installed hitch...received 6/28...I could be entirely wrong but I did not have an option on the hitch to be installed at the factory. Maybe it has changed now as I got one of the earlier cars.
It is a 2” receiver.Is it 1 1/4" or 2"?
You, or possibly others in the same boat, may want to see what part number they are trying to get. As there have been 3 hitches so far....I'm still waiting for my hitch apparently they are on back order till October according to my dealer. So no biking this summer for me.
Changes to the clips IIRC.Anyone have the new hitch and know what revisions were made?
The hitch installation looks extremely easy, once you get the bumper off. My sons can remove the front bumper on their WRX/STI in less than 10 minutes.After installing two hitches on 2010 Legacy/OB which are identical. Installing one on my 2001 Legacy, my. 1993 Land Cruiser and on a 2002 Toyota Tacoma the Ascent looks insanely easy to install a hitch on.

Hard to believe the dealers had to stop selling them due to some clips and took Subaru several months to get the new kits in-stock. Maybe it was a safety issue.Changes to the clips IIRC.
Hitches started falling behind at version 1. I suspect that demand was seriously underestimated.Hard to believe the dealers had to stop selling them due to some clips and took Subaru several months to get the new kits in-stock. Maybe it was a safety issue.Changes to the clips IIRC.
