etrailer | Hopkins Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2023 Subaru Crosstrek

Why didn’t you just take out the spare tire. The plug is reachable if you do that without all the disassembly and there is a plug you can remove and not have the wires through the hatch.

You can certainly go that route if you wish, but we installed the wiring harness as the manufacturer's instructions state. www.etrailer.com/Custom-Fit-Vehicle-Wiring/Hopkins/HM11143885.html
