damonadie Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'm looking for a trailer hitch for my 2006 Impreza Outback (I want to use a bike carrier). I just got a Class II trailer hitch with a 1 1/4" receiver from a tractor supply store and when I took this to my mechanic to get it installed, they told me this was for an Impreza and not an Impreza Outback. So do they make trailer hitches for 2006 Impreza Outbacks? Thanks for anyone's help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Chck with u-haul. The impreza and outback sport are the same frame. For WRX you may have to notch the rear valence. I haven'tinstalled any that new, but i have installed 2002-2004 impreza, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonadie Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks for your quick reply. So to clarify I have a 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Outback Sport. Not sure if that information would alter your reply. Does U-Haul install/sell trailer hitches? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 U-haul is the world's largest retailer of hitches and accessories. Any part number they will have is the MFG's part number, and you can cross reference that with other vendors if there are better prices. U-haul does install hitches with lifetime warranty. I was the hitch guy at u-haul for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb21 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Uhaul sells and installs (I assume only some locations install). Check their website, I believe they have free shipping for hitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonadie Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 So it turns out that it wasn't the trailer hitch that wasn't right, it was my mechanic! I went to a different mechanic and he popped it right on. Go figure. Thanks again for everyone who responded. I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
