Expert Answers about Subaru Outback Wagon


  • Parts Needed to Install Trailer Brake Controller and 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2017 Subaru Outback
  • Yes, you can install a 7-way blade-style trailer socket on your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon that will be able to provide basic trailer lighting signals, power for trailer brakes and 12V auxiliary power to maintain a trailer-mounted battery. Since you already have a 4-pole flat wiring harness on the car all you will need is a trailer brake controller like the easy-to-use and reliable Prodigy P2 # 90885 and our installation kit # ETBC7, which includes all parts required to install both the...

  • Parts Needed to Mount Thule Summit Cargo Box to 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Roof Rack
  • I am assuming that you are speaking of the Thule Summit Cargo Box and are looking to mount it to the factory roof rack on your 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon. I spoke with my contact at Thule and as long as your friend has all of the mounting hardware for the cargo box you won't need anything additional. The box will mount directly to your factory roof rack. If the hardware for the cargo box is missing you will need Replacement QM3 - Quick Mount Hardware, # TH04997.

  • What is the Smallest Diameter Tire That Can Fit on a 15 Inch Wheel
  • The lowest profile 15 inch diameter tire we offer is the Loadstar ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire - Load Range C # AM1ST92, which is 27.4" overall. This is a 205/75-15 tire with a capacity of 1,820-lbs. The issue you may run into with anything smaller than that is the load carrying ability is greatly reduced with less sidewall, so capacity should be paid attention to closely when trying to go smaller.

  • Brakes Needed for an Older Jayco Pop Up Turned Tear Camper
  • I do have some options for you but you will need to confirm the axle capacity or bearings and seal that your axle uses before choosing a kit. If you have 2K axles (which seems likely since the GVWR was 2,190 lbs) then you need 7" brakes like the etrailer.com Kit # AKEBRK-2. These pair up with the hub and drum assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K which has the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. This assembly uses inner and outer bearing # L44649 and the grease seal 10-9 which has an inner diameter...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with 2018 Subaru Outback
  • According to an online owner's manual for your 2018 Subaru Outback the 2.5L can tow a trailer up to 2,700 pounds as long as the trailer has brakes. If it doesn't have brakes then the Subaru maxes out at 1,000 pounds. Additionally, there's kind of a weird statement that says "When towing a trailer on a long uphill grade continuously for over 5 miles (8 km) with an outside temperature of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) or above", the towing capacity is 1,350 pounds. If your trailer is within...

  • Recommended Parts to Add a 7-Way Wiring Harness and Brake Controller on a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • I cannot see what is in your shopping cart so I will list what I recommend using to be able to use your Tekonsha brake controller on your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon. Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - # 75673 T-One 4-Pole Wiring Harness - # 118467 (this excludes the Sport model) Universal Installation Kit - # ETBC7 There is no plug-n-play option for a Tekonsha brake controller, like part # 90195, to use with your Subaru at this time so you will have to do some splicing. I did attach an...

  • Adding Brakes to a 2015 Jayco Jay Sport 8SD
  • If you want parking brakes for your 2015 Jayco Jay Sport 8SD then you do want to go with the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-103-104-00. Parking brakes aren't required so if you would rather use standard brakes then you can use the part # 23-47-48 that you referenced instead. If your spindles don't already have the brake mounting flanges then you need those, like part # 4-34, as well. Please note that if you haven't had brakes on your trailer yet then you also need hub and drum...

  • Installing a 7-way Trailer Connector on a 2018 Subaru Outback
  • We do have what you need to add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon but there isn't a specific custom harness that fits. If right now the Outback has no trailer wiring at all the easiest way to add a 7-way is to start with a plug and play 4-way and then convert it. I recommend using the Tekonsha, part # 118467, for the 4-way. It plugs in to a connector that's either behind a trim panel in the rear cargo area on the driver's side or in the spare tire compartment....

  • How to Stabilize Roof-Mounted Tandem Bicycle to Reduce Sway
  • To reduce sway of your roof-mounted tandem bike I suggest a set of ratcheting tie-down straps that can be secured to the bike and to the two raised side rails on your Outback. We offer a range of these items such as the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps # EM34415. This 2-piece set of tie-downs features push-button automatic retraction of the 10-foot straps and a safe working load limit of 400-lbs, more than enough to secure your tandem bike. These will offer better performance than...

  • Recommended 7-Way Connector for 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • I would be happy to help you setup your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon to control your trailer's brakes. I recommend the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your vehicle with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it. You will then connect one wire to the blue wire on the...

  • Replacement Cartridge Solution For Older Empire Faucet
  • I did some looking around, and all of our cartridges are made for Phoenix faucets and won't work with your Empire facuet, however, I have another solution. I know you may not want to replace the entire faucet, however it may be a good idea to upgrade to a newer faucet like the Phoenix Faucets RV Tub and Shower Diverter Faucet w/ D-Spud # PF213364, which does have a slew of replacement parts available like # PF187024, which will replace the compression stem.

  • Recommended Tail Light Kit For Hollywood E-Bike Rack
  • The best option that we have would be The etrailer License Plate and LED Tail Light Mounting Kit for Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # e98943-44LED. The lights come with mounting brackets that you can attach and secure to your bike rack by using zip ties that you can wrap around the bike frame, or if you want you can drill into the bike rack for the lights to be extra secure. I will attach a review video link below.

  • RV Water Filter and Regulator
  • Our water filters like # CAM40631 need to be used after the water goes through a regulator and is reduced to 60 psi or less. For a water regulator you can use # A01-1122VP which will keep the pressure at 50 to 55 psi.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Trailer Wiring on a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • In order to add a 7-Way trailer connector to a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon you will first need to install a 4-Way. If the vehicle already has a 4-Way you can skip to the next step. For a 4-Way you can use # 118467. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you. The factory 4-Way, if you have one, or the 118467, will have a converter. This takes the separate turn signal and brake lights from the vehicle and combines them on the output side for the trailer. The next...

  • Recommended Extended Ball Mount for 1-1/4 Hitch Receiver on 2018 Subaru Outback
  • It sounds like you're looking for a longer ball mount for a 1-1/4" hitch receiver installed on your 2018 Subaru Outback. The longest available ball mount for a 1-1/4" hitch is the Curt Class II Drawbar - 3-7/8" Rise - 13-1/2" Long - 3,500 lbs # C45000, which is 13-1/2" long and will fit a hitch ball with a 3/4" diameter; hitch pin hole size is typically standard depending on the receiver size and a 1-1/4" receiver typically has a 1/2" hitch pin hole. This ball mount does have a 3-7/8" rise...

  • Does Blaylock EZ Jack Match Curve of Andersen Tuff Chock
  • You definitely want to put some sort of chock in the wheel that's still on the ground when raising a trailer. The Blaylock EZ Jack # EZ-JACK is not the same radius as the Andersen Tuff Chock # 3605. The Tuff Chock does match the Andersen Rapid Jack # AM3620.

  • Recommended Solution for Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Subaru Outback Limited Wagon
  • Unless there is a factory tow package wiring plug available on the vehicle, there's not a way to add one after the fact. For that reason, I recommend using the Tekonsha T-One # 118467 to install the 4 way on your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon; even though it will have the 4 way dangling out of your rear hatch when you're using it, it doesn't damage the harness and is the only available solution unless you were to cut a hole in the bottom of the vehicle. I've linked the installation of this...
