Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon for Thule Bike Rack
Question:
I am looking to purchase a trailer hitch for my 2018 Subaru Outback 2.5i premium. I would mainly be using this for a Thule bike rack. I have watched your review on three different hitches and I like the look of the Eco hitch. And I was not a fan of the hitch that you need an extra strap for when using a bike rack. I will eventually be getting a small enclosed trailer and/or jet ski to tow with this hitch as well. The questions that I have are which hitch would be best for my vehicle? And do you recommend any installers in the Buffalo, NY area? Thank you for your help

The EcoHitch part # 306-X7601 that you referenced is the best option for a trailer hitch for your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon. I really like it as it does not require the stabilizer strap like the Curt does and because only the hitch opening will be visible underneath the rear bumper of the vehicle.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. It will work great with any Thule bike rack designed for a 2 inch hitch as well.
