Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for Towing Rental Trailer With 2018 Subaru Outback
Question:
I purchased from you and installed the Draw-tiye hitch, which Im using with a Hollywood Ebike rack. I really like both and the rear hatch even opens with the Hollywood rack folded up! Now I want to rent a U-Haul trailer and need trailer wiring. What options do you have?

Expert Reply:
We do indeed offer a trailer wiring harness for the 2018 Subaru Outback. I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 118467 which is a confirmed fit for your Outback, as you can see in the linked installation video.
U-Haul trailers will typically use a surge coupler that uses the trailer's inertia when the tow vehicle brakes to apply the trailer brakes, so you will not need a brake controller. When the vehicle brakes the surge coupler will compress which is effect just like pressing a brake pedal.
