Well, some of you have let me know that it’s a bit expensive where you all are. I am working on getting you all the best prices I can, so you can get the best hitch possible (seriously, you’re talking about something that can cause catastrophic issues if it fails or damages the car).
To that end, ANY of you in Northern NJ, Eastern PA, the New York Metro Area, or simply feel like taking a drive, can head on over to Liberty Subaru, Inc., Emerson, NJ, tell them I sent you, and get the OEM hitch, parts and labor, installed, for $528 (plus tax).

$528 INSTALLED

Of course, it’s not just the only third row crash tested hitch. It’s also the peace of mind knowing it will be covered as a part of your 3/36 factory warranty because it’s a dealer installed accessory. It also comes with the 4 pin and 7 pin connectors and harness. It also comes with the brake controller pigtail.
Add all of that up, and it’s a great deal – especially considering NY Metro Area’s labor rates!!! @Liberty Subaru will take great care of you!
Oh, and if you’re in the area, but REALLY want to install it yourself, message them through this forum for a special price on just the hitch!!!
I’ll do my best to get some great prices for those of you elsewhere. Stay tuned!

Considering Towing? Considering a Hitch?
With more and more people considering trailer adventures this summer, a bunch of you are considering getting hitches installed – get the OEM.
It’s Part Number L101SXC004.
It’s the only one that integrates properly into the Ascent’s frame rails, the only one that’s third row crash tested to meet the Ascent’s third row crash test requirements, and the only one that comes with 4 pin and 7 pin harnesses, and the brake controller pigtail.
If you want to save money on labor, it’s an easy DIY install, and well worth it. If you don’t want to do the work, I will continue on finding great dealerships that will do it at a great price.
The two big beefy bars at the bottom of the image are the bars that go inside your Ascent’s frame rails and bolt into the frame rails.
This isn’t an area I’d ever skimp on.
