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.

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?

anyone know the part number for the wiring harness?

@ 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?!

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?

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?

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?

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?

Great video!

Is there a part number for the spring loaded clips?

Does this seven pin provide power or will I need to run wiring from the front of the car?

Where do I get this hitch?

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.

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.👍👍👍🙏👍

Same exact process for 2020 ascent I assume ?

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?

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.

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 ?

How different is this on a 2021?
