The Curt Class III hitch part # C13410 is the best option for your 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon for carrying a bike rack or towing a trailer. It has more towing capacity than your vehicle will need, is made in the USA, and is mostly hidden which looks nicer and also helps with ground clearance.

Then for trailer wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118467 is best option as it's most reliable and installs very easily.
