asked by: Wendell
Expert Reply:
The highest capacity hitch available for a 2023 Subaru Outback is going to be the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT73RR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Outback with included hardware.
The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT73RR is a class III hitch, with a 2" receiver, and it weighs 36 lbs. It has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 675 lbs maximum tongue weight.
I have linked a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.
To tow a heavy trailer with your Subaru you will also need a brake controller, 4-flat and 7-Way harness, and a ball mount kit. I have listed the parts you will need below along with any installation videos:
Brake Controller - Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller item # C51180
Wiring Harnesses - 4-Flat - T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118467
7-Way- Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7
Ball Mount Kit - Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534
