Alpinestars96 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I know this is a spent subject, but I really would like to get a hitch on my LGT that looks good on it. Are there any? Any pics of them installed on 05+ legacy sedans? Thanks (P.S. I will be towing a small snowmobile trailer and a small ATV trailer thats pretty much it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.EMan Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I bought a Drawtite for my 2005 LGT Wagon from etrailer.com. I can post a picture, but it's hard to see. It sits a bit low, though, and scrapes once in a while. Our Canadian brethren sell hitches for the Legacy, which they don't in the U.S. I don't know if it fits on an '05, but here's the picture: http://assets.subaru.ca/7907/Media/General/Accessory/Legacy/028.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocsin Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 It sits a bit low, though, and scrapes once in a while. Yeah, I'd be surprised if you could find one that won't. I had one on for the first couple months I owned the car, can't remember brand. Took it off. Much happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JABBER Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I believe the round draw-tite one pictured is no longer available. I just ordered the SOA hitch for an 05 outback, for my 07 specB. The hidden-hitch looks pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpetty Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I have the subaru factory hitch for the outback - it fits great, though there are a few extra braces that do not fit on the Legacy. Unfortunately, while it comes with a plug-in wiring harness, the sedan is without the plug, so you have to splice the unit in, which I still have not done. My Legacy is lowered on iON springs, and I have never scraped it once, and it looks pretty nice. My $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keredstg Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 yeah I'm also in the market for a hitch now. I can't seem to buy a tacoma without selling my soul with it so trialer and hitch it is. I looked at the U-haul hitch but i haven't seen any pics of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keredstg Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Update...I've had my Hidden hitch for quite some time now. First off it is hardly hidden. Its in plain view and ugly..but does the job. This summer I decided to throw on the S-techs and was good for a while. Until about last month some time. I noticed that under hard acceleration she drags a bit. It's been too snowy here for me to crawl under her and see where its dragging and how bad its dragging. S-techs do lower it quite a bit and I knew that this would probably be an issue. I just wanted to let others know about the setup and turnout.

sgeorge Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Get the Subaru factory hitch. Contact jeremy at the king of parts. He shipped it to me for a lot less than the local dealership was selling it for. I have an 05 wagon with swifts and i haven't scraped the hitch on anything, Even with 3 dogs in the back and 2 mountain bikes on a rack on the back. It took 30 minutes to install and is relatively hard to see. Don't have any pictures though sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bdubs Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I'm considering switching to the factory hitch as well. The Hidden Hitch sits way too low, and it looks really out of place. I love my hitch mounted bike rack, thats the only reason why I haven't removed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinestars96 Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 UPDATE: I bought the factory hitch and it looks great on it and I only scraped it on the ground once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keredstg Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Sorry this is a really late reply to this but The only reason why I was dragging mine was because of the S-tech springs. In fact I took the hitch off right before winter when i threw my cheap ebay exhaust on and I was now dragging the exhaust(which also sits lower than normal. Subsequently I switched the spring to Cobb springs which I got a great deal on and the 1.5 drop from the S-techs went to a 1 drop from thwe Cobbs. No scraping of any sort anymore. Plus the S-techs wer progressive and the spring rate was diminising very quickly as the suspension compressed leading to the bump stops stopping movement under acceleration only.
