Expert Answers about Subaru Outback Wagon


  • Recommended Hidden Hitch for a 2017 Subaru Outback
  • The best trailer hitch we offer for a 2017 Subaru Outback with hidden design is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76227. The Draw-Tite hitch installs behind the rear bumper so it will be the most hidden and the receiver tube is also tucked neatly up under the bumper which will also allow for the best ground clearance. Please note, you will have to remove the rear bumper for installation but that is how you get the hidden look. There is really no in between for a hidden...

  • Can Thule AeroBlade Crossbars From 2015 VW Passat Fit a 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • It looks like the Thule AeroBlade crossbars would need to be 53" long for your 2015 VW Passat which luckily matches with your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon. This means you just need the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and you can use the same crossbars! If you'd like to add locks to the feet you can do so with the Key Kit # TH450400.

  • Will the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails Fit a 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon and Malone Cargo Box
  • Yes, the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # C18118 will fit your 2022 Subaru Outback Touring XT with raised roof rails. This would then provide the crossbars needed to use the Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911. The Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911 uses clamps to attach to the crossbars so the fact that the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # C18118 doesn't have channels doesn't make much of a difference for this use. The Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails...

  • Recommended Thule Cargo Box for 2019 Subaru Outback
  • According to Thule, both the Thule Force XT L # TH6357B or Force XT XL # TH6358B will fit on your 2019 Subaru Outback. You'll want to make sure by measuring from the center of the front crossbar to the line where your roof meets the rear cargo hatch on your 2019 Subaru Outback for confirmation. You'll need 47-1/2" to use the # TH6357B (Force L) and 51-3/8" to use the # TH6358B (Force XL). There really is only an 8" difference in the length of these two boxes, so going with a shorter one...

  • Adding Tail Lights To A Thule T2 Pro
  • One of the unintended consequences of carrying bikes on a hitch bike rack is that sometimes the bikes and the rack cover the rear lights of your vehicle. I do have an option to address that issue. It is very straightforward and involves no alchemy of any kind, i.e. drilling into your rack. This means your racks warranty will not be affected. It will require is to purchase a dual hitch adapter. I recommend the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 2-1/4" Rise/Drop,...

  • How to Carry the Yakima MajorShady 270 Awning on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The Yakima MajorShady 270 Awning # Y82AV installs via the T-Slots in a roof rack so we'll need to get you an aftermarket roof rack since your 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon OEM crossbars don't have that T-Slot system. For something that's cost-effective and gets the job done I recommend the Malone AirFlow2, but if you're wanting something with higher quality and will be a better setup for longevity then I recommend the Yakima JetStream system. Here are the parts you'll need for each: Malone...

  • How To Use Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar On 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • Yes, the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar part # RM-020 will work on a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon when using the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 920-1. This is a great combo that I am sure you will be happy with. In regards to safety chains, I don't have an exact length you'll need but the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables part # RM-643 which are 68" long will have you covered and they are coiled so you don't have to worry about them dragging the ground.

  • Recommending A Hitch For Carrying A Bike Rack For 2021 Subaru Outback
  • I recommend our etrailer class III trailer hitch # e25TR for your 2021 Subaru Outback. This hitch hides well under the bumper and with the matte black finish, this helps prevent rust and corrosion. This hitch is great for holding a bike rack and with the max tongue weight being 350 pounds, this will handle any 2" bike rack you put on it. Sounds like you already have a bike rack but I have a great suggestion if not. The Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR with folding arms, Tilting mast...

The Upright Roof Mounted Bike Rack will work on your factory rack as long as it has cross bars and they are no larger than 3-1/8 inches wide and 1-7/8 inches tall. If you need cross bars...

  • Will The M6x25MM # 915-0625-54 Carriage Bolt Work In Place of Thule Part 1500052560?
  • You will need to use the Replacement Fairing Carriage Bolt 1500052560 # TH47CE as this is the correct part to use. Thule said their M6x25MM # 915-0625-54 is not the correct part and should not be used as the replacement. They said the parts are specifically engineered to work for their purpose and specific tensile strength requirements.

  • Recommended Brake Controller for a 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • So long as you have the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7 installed in your 2022 Subaru Outback then yes you can use the Tekonsha P2 item # 90885, P3 item # 90195, or the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR. All three of these brake controllers rely on the blue wire that is ran from the 7-way connector to the cab to function. Out of those three controllers, I highly recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR. It is comparable in price and its unique...

  • 4-Way Wiring Harness Compatibility From a 2008 Subaru Outback To a 2018 Subaru Outback
  • There is not an adapter that will allow you to transfer your Curt harness from your 2008 Subaru Outback to your new 2018 Subaru Outback. You will need a Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040 for your new Outback. This will plug into your factory connection to give you the 4-way flat trailer connector.

  • Will the Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box Fit a 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and if your 2013 Subaru Outback has factory crossbars that run side to side on the roof then the Pulse, # TH615, is a direct fit and you can use it on the vehicle. If you jsut have the side rails that run front to back you will first need to install a roof rack and I recommend the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 and then you can mount the cargo box.
