trailer hitch & wiring

[Greybeard]

I own a '05 Legacy GT wagon with a manual transmission, it is rated to tow 2700# with brakes. I can find several class II and III hitches and brake controllers, but I am having trouble finding a wiring "kit." With most American designed cars & trucks I can purchase a "T" adapter that simply "plugs" into the wiring harness, allowing me to connect the trailer lights without cutting into it.

Does anyone know if there is a similar product available for Subarus, or do I have to alter the wiring harness on my Legacy?

Poke around. I just sold some used hitches. I think etrailers.com had some listings.

 

You may want to call Schreck Industries locally in Washington twp. at (724) 727-3444 I worked there years ago. They handle quality stuff and have the expertise to do anything needing done.

 

If you end up going there let me know if you'd like to stop in - perhaps a mile from my house. I don't have much experience with Subaru's as new as yours and I don't work on other folks cars anyways. The GF's 2006 Impreza I kinda have to work on, and I believe that won't be lasting much longer (her - not the car).

 

There are a few relative locals on this MB from time to time several I have met.

Yea - you weren't the one sleeping with one eye open in the mountains Saturday night.

 

She went a bit psycho to say the least. Almost 5 years, atleast I don't have to buy this one a house, that gets expensive.

 

As a friend says - "only thing worse than being alone is wanting to be alone" - well actually that's my saying but he literally had a sign made he liked it so much. If you haven't been married I hope you haven't experienced this.

 

I'm quite happy alone, but it's also fun to share things with someone special.

 

The good had been outweighted by the crap for some time now.

 

Since this is a car forum here were some of the original very minor strikes against her. Can't drive a stick and doesn't want to learn how. Doesn't understand why a fella has more than one vehicle. "It's all about me" isn't just a saying but a way of life (need to add her kids and grandkids in there as well).

 

I own 10 cars, trucks, vans, perhaps 11 soon. 7 are sticks, most are antiques. Then there are the cars I fix and sell.

 

She's a neat freak - I'd rather be doing something more enjoyable than cleaning (especially with her if you know what I mean). Why don't women like this date gay guys from the city who are neat, and have one automatic car?

 

I'm sure most of us have lived through this more than one time (I, personally have seen this movie before) on both sides. It always sucks at some level. But I'm about to get the bumper sticker "How can I miss you if you won't go away?". Good news is that she lives 50 miles away, we mostly weekended together so there isn't splitting of stuff, just returning some of her bath robes, slippers, and trinkets(here at the house and in the mountains). But I'm expecting a last stand or two - she had it pretty good and I don't see her giving up that easily.

 

Yea - dating sucks - can't wait to start it all over again!

 

For those of you truely happily married - congratulations, I do believe it's rare.

 

For the rest of us that are single, well, there are worse things.

 

I do believe in Marriage, just not for me at this stage in my life, or my financial life.
