Question. Where does the white ground wire off the harness itself connect to ?
This was detailed and very helpful! Thanks! I also found this guide useful during the install. It has info on the New Gound Wire. www.subaruonlineparts.com/docs/L101SXC005-2023.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOoo0gzI2OP8yJ2uhVMg-kr7r_scDgIZOCxv0dSmA1q14mq4qglMD
Its a 4x4
so you show the sring type retainers but you didnt share where to get those nor did you share what theyre really called. whats with that
Thank you so much for the video. I was able to install the hitch on my 2024 in about 2.5 hours.
Glad it was helpful! We will edit the title as the 2024 model will be the same procedure. Thank you!
@@subierecycler3487 Same procedure, but there are some changes to some of the parts. There are no more side plates, you use silicone (I used paint), and some new white round clips that replace the stock ones on the plastic trim pieces. Other than that, install is the same.
Blue loctite on everything
What a great video. I planned to have it installed at a Subaru delearship though after watching this I believe i can do it myself and save a good amount of money. The dealership wants around 500 for the parts and 500 for labor. I have a 2023 Ascent, where can I purchase the htich? From Subaru dealer @ $500?
Some Subaru parts dealers will price match online prices. I found this one on SubaruOnlineParts.com for $431 + shipping. www.subaruonlineparts.com/sku/l101sxc004.html
Thanks! Ill check it out@@subierecycler3487
anyone know the part number for the wiring harness?
From what I have been able to find there is no specific part number for the trailer brake wiring harness, meaning that it is probably not able to be purchased separately from the hitch. There are aftermarket options from etrailer.com but I don't know if they are plug and play like the Subaru harness is.
@ 17:59 - The bumper cover clips broke because you didn’t push in the centre round portion in first.
Thanks for the video! My 2023 packaged hitch didn't come with instructions, so very needed video. I will add that there is a chassis ground wire that was added to the hitch wiring harness section. put it on a chassis ground and its should be good.
Very helpful from start to finish. Great job
Great video and description, helped me make the decision to go to the subaru dealership for my 2022 Ascent tow hitch installation.
How much does that install usually cost?!
Install costs can vary widely from dealership to dealership. We were quoted about $650 for the install on this hitch, which is why we decided to make the video and show people how to save some money.
Clean install! Thank you for this. Quality work. "it's all back, like no one was ever there."
Would this instructions be the same for a 2023 Ascent?
Yes, the install steps should be very close on the '23. Some parts may look a little different, but the overall process will be the same.
Great video - it gave me confidence to do this myself on my '22 Ascent Limited. Maybe due to part update but ground wire install instruction is missing. If you search for L101SXC005 on Subaru Parts Pros, there's a detailed installation PDF on how to secure the ground wire.
Thank you for the video. Just installed a factory hitch on my 2023 ascent no directions. Your video made it easy Super helpful.😊
Do a video on the installation of the Brake controller please.
Very nice job! Glad I am getting the hitch installed by the factory, I thought about a DIY. Glad I didn't. Thanks again!
Where do I order the exact same kit you have shown in the video?
Any Subaru dealership should be able to get it for you. There are other aftermarket+ brands of hitches as well, Uhaul, Curt etc, but in our opinion the OEM hitch is the strongest option on this vehicle.
Great video! I just bought the L101SXC005 kit from my dealer to install on my 2022 Ascent. It includes the H771SXC002 wiring harness (with a sticker on it that says "New Ground Design". It has a ground wire coming out of the side of the harness that plugs into the car-side plug with a ground ring on it. Also, there is a single screw (p/N 904580002) that is included in the kit (looks like it fits in the ground ring). Anyone have any idea of how this is supposed to be installed or have a link to the instructions for this version?
Same question here
Thanks for the tutorial it was perfect. Just did mine in under 2 hours. Seems like the cover plates are no longer included so I just put the bolts back in place.
do you have a resource or P/N for those wonderful replacement popits on the bumper cover?
Sir, I want to thank you from the bottom of heart. I just installed the hitch on my 2022 Subaru Ascent and didn’t look at the instructions once. There was no need since your video was a step by step process. You saved me a ton of money. Thanks again.
Superb information it’s also fitted for 2022 ascent. The tire well little clip pin needs to push down on the center piece when you disassembling.
Thanks man!! Just did mine using ur video. Did it in 1hr 10 min by my self lol
Thank you guys for the detailed install demo! I just installed the 004 (updated version according to Subaru…) using this as the guide. Went off without a hitch! I’m pretty handy, but was a little worried about tackling it myself. After watching the video and following along it was easy! The new ‘updated’ 004 version doesn’t include the receiver (available separately) or the cover plates. It did include the wiring harness for the brake controller, just have to add the controller itself. Thanks again!
Perfect video. I just ordered the OEM hitch for our Ascent.
I don't even own a Subaru Ascent, but plan on getting one later this year. I will have the two hitch installed by dealer/subaru, but wanted to know more about what exactly is done to get it installed. Your video took the mystery away and was very easy to understand. Thank you! I will now know exactly what's been done to my future Ascent. :)
Where I can buy
It would be very helpful to see the install of the ebrake control harness. Where does it attach? Etc.
Does the hitch not come standard with the Ascent?
As far as we know the hitch did not come as standard equipment, many dealers will add them to vehicles on the lot before they are sold and add the cost to the price of the vehicle.
Great video!
Is there a part number for the spring loaded clips?
Subaru part number L101SXC700
Does this seven pin provide power or will I need to run wiring from the front of the car?
If you use the wiring harness that is shown on the video starting at 8:17 then yes the 7pin has power from the plug in the rear hatch area of the car.
Where do I get this hitch?
This hitch is a Subaru OEM hitch, any dealer should be able to order it for you or you can find them by part number on ebay/Amazon etc
The pop-its you broke are really easy to remove. To remove, just use a pointy tip to push the button in. It will pop in slightly and click. Then simply pry the pop-it out and it will slip out easily.
Correct, they still like to break so it's a good idea to have some spares.
This is a perfect video if you want do to it yourself. I've just installed mine and it worked like an Ikea manual. A few things: - the part number I've got was: L101SXC004. This is without the tongue (gonna use it for a bike rack anyway). BUT mine did not have the two black metal cover plates the goes on after you install the the crossbar. No biggie, it doesn't add a lot to the car's integrity, but I was surprised. - also, I'm left with some white pop-it kind of plastic thingamajigs that were in the bag with the twist-off pop-its that allows you to easily remove the cover. No idea what they are 🤷♂️ - I managed to remove all the pop-its without breaking one. If you take a minute and inspect one of them, it's easy to realize how they work. Basically you need to use your removal tool between the washer looking thing and the circular thing. The one in the wheel well is the special one, you just need to push in the middle. Also, I learned a lot about my car during the process, so that's an added bonus!
I'm surprised Subaru went with a 5-piece construction on this versus a one piece like Curt did for their model. At any rate, great video.
You guys are the best! Thank you for saving me a bunch of money. To get dealer installed it would have been $1200. Followed your directions and had in installed with an hour. Thanks again for you video.👍👍👍🙏👍
Awesome! Glad we could help you save some $$$!
Same exact process for 2020 ascent I assume ?
That is correct, all current models of the Ascent will be the same.
Followed the steps and worked perfectly! Thank you!
My 1/4 twist rivets came with a small washer. I didn't see one with yours. Is it not needed?
If it came with washers I'd probably use them. Subaru updates the kits with new parts all the time, it could just be they ran out of the other style rivets or decided to redesign them.
Thanks for the video. It made my install easy.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for this video. I followed it while installing a hitch on a ‘21 Ascent Touring and it went flawlessly. The OEM instructions helped some, but you guys knocked it out of the park.
Glad we could be helpful! Thank you!
Trying to understand the logic of having SEA and metric parts on one car.
I followed your video and put the OEM hitch on my 2021 ascent within 1 hr. This video is legit helpful, thanks for the totorial. What should i do with the brake contorller pigtail? should i buy a brake controller to use the wire? thanks
How long would you say it takes to complete the project?
Hey guys they didn’t give me the side cover plates..would it be okay without these ?
I didn’t get any either when I bought the OEM set in July 2021…seems Subaru deemed it unnecessary. Reinstalled the original bolts and moved on to the next step.
How different is this on a 2021?
Should be nearly identical, although others have said the updated hitch kit does not come with the plates that block off the bumper beam holes.
Confirmed…purchased the OEM hitch shown here from a Subaru dealership and it does not include the cover plates shown around 10:02 in the vid. I just reinstalled the original bolts where the cover plate should have gone and moved on. Great video guys. Thanks!
