Best Trailer Hitch for a 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
How can I be sure that the hitch will fit my 2021 Outback
asked by: James D
Expert Reply:
I have some great trailer hitch options for a 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C67JR and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT73RR. The Curt Hitch looks better installed as it has a hidden cross tube which will also give more ground clearance. The kicker is that it's harder to install than the Draw-Tite because you have to remove part of the rear bumper. The Draw-Tite is easier to install as you don't have to remove the rear bumper but it also does not have a hidden cross tube and reduces ground clearance more.
In regards to install, these are both bolt-on options which have been confirmed by the manufacturer. I have attach a photo below to help further compare.
