The OEM hitch is very nice, and comes with everything you'll need to
get going except for a ball. Also comes with the proper wiring
harness, and a cool "Subaru" cover for the receiver opening.
Install is a simple DIY project if your dealership won't do it for you
for free. (I'd expect they would, assuming you're buying the car from
them; 15 minute job for a tech with access to a hoist.)

ByeBye! S.

Though its expensive compred to etrailer,etc. the oem one is nice. I
have it on my WRX and a coupla reasons I opted for it were clearance for
an aftermarket 'sport' muffler and possible warranty claims. I just
didn't want to hear "well, we can't fix your transmission because you've
been towing something with a non-factory hitch" - type stuff. probably a
remote chance of that happening I admit.
