The cost of equipping a Subaru with a trailer hitch depends on several factors, including the specific Subaru model, the type of hitch required, the chosen installation method (DIY or professional), and geographic location. For example, a simple receiver hitch for a smaller Subaru might cost less than a more complex weight-distributing hitch for a larger SUV model. Additionally, professional installation will add labor costs to the final price.
Adding a hitch significantly expands a vehicle’s utility. It allows for towing trailers of varying sizes, carrying bicycles, and using other hitch-mounted accessories like cargo carriers. This can be particularly beneficial for Subaru owners, many of whom use their vehicles for outdoor activities like camping, biking, and boating. The increasing popularity of outdoor recreation has contributed to a rise in demand for hitch installations in recent decades.
