Parts Needed to Install EcoHitch on 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
I really like the look of the EcoHitch for my 2019 Outback Wagon and the fact that it's made from recycled materials! I think that's a great idea and I'm willing to invest a little more for a great cause. What all do I need to install this on my vehicle? I'll be using this for a bike rack as I'm using my roof rack for a cargo basket.

One of the neat things about the EcoHitch brand is that they are made from recycled materials (like you noted) which, in turn, are also recyclable. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7601 for your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon only requires a 10mm socket with a ratchet and/or torque wrench # ALL944001 for the tail lights and flange nuts, as well as a flat screwdriver OR the Powerbuilt Trim Pad Remover # ALL648544 for removing the push button fasteners that hold the fascia in place.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend going with the Kuat NV 2.0, available in Gunmetal Gray # NV22G or Black # NV22B, because it is the perfect solution for an avid outdoorperson that it sounds like you are. The NV 2.0 is a wheel mount platform bike rack so it is compatible with any bike that doesn't have a front fender, it has an impressive 60 lbs per bike weight capacity, bike and rack locks for peace of mind, plus it has an integrated bike repair stand so you can easily work on your bike whether you're at home or out at the trail.
I have attached an installation video of the EcoHitch as well as a review video of the NV 2.0 both on a 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon that you can check out.
