Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller in 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander
We have everything you need to install a brake controller in your 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander but you will need to start with the part # 118518 that you referenced. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy...

Hitch And Wiring Recommendation For 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT
When choosing a trailer hitch for your 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT, you will see that all three available hitches have the same weight and towing capacity. The difference is the looks of the hitch. The Curt Hitch, part # 13581, has the safety chain hooks at the bottom of the receiver and the Draw-Tite has the safety chain attachments at the top of the receiver opening. Since the Curt hitch has a welded plate that the tow hook attaches to versus a tube block and spacers for the other...

Trunk Mount Bike Rack That Will Fit 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander And 2011 Honda CR-V
The Yakima QuickBack 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack will not fit the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander, but I do have a solution for you. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Carrier, part # HRF2-3. This bike rack is designed to work with SUVs and Minivans that have rear spoilers, and will work with both of your vehicles. The design of the rack places the straps that secure the rack to the vehicle so that there is less stress on the spoiler.

Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander
If your 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander has the tow package then you would need the part # C56296 that you referenced. If you do not have the tow package or do not want to mess with figuring out if you do the install harness part # C56189 will fit either way as it installs inline with the taillight harnesses. The easiest way to determine if you have a tow package is to check the window sticker or call a Mitsubishi dealer with your VIN. Since your vehicle is so new you probably have the window...

Correct Selection of Roof Rack Systems for a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Without Roof Rails
That is correct. In our roof rack fit guide for your 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander you will choose the category "with no existing rails or crossbars" which I've linked for you to filter through. I recommend checking out one of the Rhino-Rack aero-style roof rack system. We have the ROC25 which has more of an OEM look as well as the Vortex crossbar system which has the overhang past each leg. Below is a list of the parts you'll need for either setup: ROC25 Kit - # RR65GR Vortex Aero 54" Crossbars...

Lowering Exhaust to Install Hitch on 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander
All three of the hitches offered for your 2008 Outlander would require that the exhaust be lowered to provide access to the attachment points in the frame. Our installers routinely use a ratchet strap to provide support to the exhaust once it is removed from the exhaust hangers. The purpose of the strap is to control the descent of the exhaust so it does not fall too rapidly and damage something. The exhaust hangers are very easy to remove, simply spray the metal hanger that passes through...

Underhood Connection Points for Trailer Wiring on a 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander
First, locate the vehicle battery under the hood of your 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander. It will be on the driver side. You will need to move it rearward as much as possible, or completely remove it from its position, to gain access to the area behind the headlight. Look for the wiring harnesses behind the headlight. Taped to one of them should be a wire with a gray connector on the end that is not connected to anything. It is possible that the harness is further back or has fallen off and...

Can Brake Controller Tap Into 4-Way Harness for Brake Light Signal
When installing a trailer brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 that you were looking at you will need to connect its red wire to the cold side of the brake light switch behind the brake pedal of your Mitsubishi Outlander. You will not be able to connect it to the 4-Way from the Tekonsha Harness # 118518 for a couple of reasons. This signal simply won't be reliable or strong enough for use with a brake controller and it might lead to a blown fuse on the harness. Also keep...

Can the Yakima BackSwing be Used with Other Brand Bike Racks?
The Yakima BackSwing # Y02483 will work with any bike rack that has a 2 inch shank. Unfortunately, it cannot be used with reducers, extenders, or adapters. So if your Kuat has a 2 inch shank, you are good to go.

Converter Needed to Go From Combined Circuit to Combined
Our trailer wiring kits do not work in reverse. Since the # HM48925 goes from separate circuit to combined you'd just need a converter that goes the opposite direction like # 118158.

Trailer Disc Brake Kit for 7,000 Pound Axle, 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt Pattern, and 5/8 Inch Studs
We do have some disc brake kits that use 5/8 inch studs, fits 7K axles, and have an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. Take a look at # K2HR758DDS. If your existing hubs use inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 02475 then you can use this kit. If you have different bearings let me know the numbers and I can see if there are other options. If you are switching from hydraulic drum brakes to hydraulic disc brakes you will also need to replace the coupler or you might be able to just change the master...

Availability of Replacement Mounting Hardware for a Thule Summit Cargo Box
I have actually come across this before and found that the hardware that is used by the Thule Summit cargo boxes was actually an earlier version of the QM3 Hardware, # TH04997, that you referenced. The EasySnap system you mentioned is not compatible with your box and has actually been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Using Cargo Carrier with Hitch Adapter on 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander
The Pro Series Steel Cargo Carrier you referenced, part # PS1040100 can be used with a 2 inch receiver, but an adapter like part # HTAD must be used. Because using an adapter places the load further away from the hitch receiver, your hitch tongue weight capacity will be reduced by 50 percent when using the adapter. If the tongue weight capacity of your Class II receiver is 300 lbs, it will be reduced to 150 lbs when using the cargo carrier with the hitch adapter. This means that the cargo...

What is the Difference Between CURT Trailer Hitch # C13079 and # 13581, 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander
Basically, the trailer hitches you are looking at fit 2 different vehicles. The CURT Trailer Hitch, # 13581, is designed to fit NON-Sport models of the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander.

Hitch Recommendation and Trailer Wiring For 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
I do have an option for you but the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118482 is not a fit for the hybrid versions of the Outlander. I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit part # 119250KIT which is the only option available for the Hybrid Outlander that does not require splicing into the wiring. The ZCI connections clamp onto your OEM tail light wiring during installation....
