Not sure that I am correct but all my info says it’s available as a factory installed option...I ordered my Touring model with it....Nope the physical hitch is dealer installed. Not a big deal, but many dealers charge stupid high install fees. My mom was quoted $850 for her legacy. Took me an hour and the hitch cost $130. Direct bolt on to factory mounting points.
That's a great deal. Might go back to my dealer and ask for that too. By the way, do you have a link to the video? Wanted to see too if that is something I might be able to do.My dealer added it to my order for $374. Touring Class III. I got the cost from KBB and ordered it asking for invoice pricing for PP#2 and Hitch and that was acceptable. Don't care if it is factory or dealer install. Looking at the video of the hitch, it looks like it is not an easy install considering the multiple electrical ports.
I do hope that is the case. Will save me from grief if I decide to install the hitch myself.^I'm willing to bet that it will comes w/ the cover. Based on my analysis, Subaru is err on the side of laziness. Examples: key cylinder of push-start-button has a cover instead of new shroud; and non-turbo model has one exhaust and a cover in lieu of 2nd exhaust pipe.
It can also be installed at the dealer after it is delivered to the dealer....More expensive to have them install it...Not sure that I am correct but all my info says it’s available as a factory installed option...I ordered my Touring model with it....
Trailer hitch (0C7) $499.
Class III, 2" trailer hitch, with 4 pin connector..and 7 pin
Well, there's a standard process, but it involves removing a lot of stuff.^that's gotta be a mistake. The $382 is factory installed (per Costco build sheet) and port/dealer is $499.
During factory assembly, it's a cake walk to install the hitch as it's integrated into the assembling process. For the dealer/port, there's no standard process (like a custom install) and should be priced significantly higher.
