Expert Answers about Subaru Outback Wagon


  • Recommended Hitch for a 2018 Subaru Outback
  • The best hitch for your 2018 Subaru Outback is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e42TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 400 lbs maximum tongue weight so you will have plenty of capacity for a bike rack. I really like the etrailer hitch because of its hidden design. The crosstube will install behind the bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but it also helps...

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning Mount to Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket
  • The Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning part # RR33200 mounts to roof rack crossbars with an integrated channel or t-track. In addition to this, the crossbars must extend out past the mounting feet in order to be made compatible. Therefore, it would not be able to be mounted to the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket so you'd simply have to mount the awning to the rack beside the cargo basket. In regards to hatch clearance, you should be able to open the back hatch mostly but this can vary...

  • Does Length of Hitch-Mounted Accessory Affect Tongue Weight Capacity
  • The type of torque you are describing is definitely something that manufacturers for trailer hitches and hitch-mounted accessories take into account when testing their products. I absolutely understand your concern though, as weight applied right on top of a hitch receiver results in a whole lot less torque and leverage than this same weight extended a distance behind it. With that being said, this added torque is taken into account on items like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform...

  • Bike Rack Needed to Carry Electric Recumbent and RadCity Electric Bikes
  • If a bike rack says 45 lbs max per bike then you might be able to get away with a few lbs over that limit if you have 1 bike, but 20 lbs over that limit will definitely not be safe. This is due to the weight capacity of the pieces used for the wheel cradles as it's clear the bike rack can handle up to 90 lbs. With all of that being said, all you need to do is use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Electric Bike Rack # HLY84FR and then also get the Long Wheelbase Kit # HRLWBK-2Y to accommodate...

  • How to Fit Yakima Show Down Kayak Carrier on 2014 Subaru Outback with Factory Roof Rack
  • The Yakima ShowDown kayak carrier part # Y04081 can fit your 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon but would require an aftermarket roof rack as it won't fit the factory bars. So for that Yakima recommends the Jetstream bar roof rack # Y00425 and # Y33TR which is a high quality and aerodynamic roof rack confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.

  • Installed ETBC7L On My 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon And Now My Blinker/Brake Lights Don't Work
  • Sorry to hear about the troubles you're having with the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L on your 2022 Subaru Outack Wagon. Apart from checking for blown fuses, the only other thing you'll want to verify is, that your grounds are secured properly to a clean, bare metal surface. You'll also want to verify that your trailer connectors as well as your grounds are clean and free of rust and corrosion. If you're still having issues after checking, let...

  • Finding Reverse Wire On a 2022 Subaru Outback For Installing 5-Way Trailer Connector
  • Since the wiring for the reverse lights on your 2022 Subaru Outback are in the rear hatch door you will need to access the wiring where it travels from the hatch door into the vehicle. The best way to identify the correct wire is with a Test Light # PTW2993. This will allow you to tap the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57187 into your reverse light circuit. Then you will be able to run the wiring down to your 4-Way Harness # 118467 you already installed. You may need to remove some of...

  • Recommended Tires For Camp Trailer with ST145/R12 Sized Tires
  • For tire size ST145/R12 we have two options. The first, and my recommendation, is the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D, # AM10130. This is an 8 ply radial special trailer tire with automotive-grade tread designed for highway use and has an M rating of 81 mph. Load range D has a capacity of 1,220 lbs. at 65 psi, whereas load range E has a capacity of 1,520 lbs. at 80 psi. With trailer tires you always want to have them inflated to their maximum that way...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2017 Subaru Outback
  • The Redarc # RED44FR Tow-Pro Elite, the Tekonsha # 118467 trailer wiring harness and the # ETBC7 brake controller installation kit would all work together perfectly, they're exactly what you'll need. Can I make a suggestion that would save you some money, though? Instead of the # RED44FR Tow-Pro Elite, I'd recommend the # RED24FR Tow-Pro Liberty instead. The difference between the two is that the Elite offers a user-controlled mode which makes the controller behave like a time-delayed...

This receiver has a hidden cross tube that will sit behind the bumper cover. It also has a matte black powder coating that will make it blend into the undercoating on your Subaru. The maximum tongue weight of this receiver is 350lbs with the maximum trailer weight being 3,500lbs. Be sure to check with your dealer for the maximum ratings for your specific Outback...
