Expert Answers about Subaru Outback Wagon


  • Availability of 2200 Lb Replacement Axle With Brake Mounting Flanges and Greater Than 60 Inch Length
  • We don't offer a 3500 lb axle with that short of a hub face dimension. You might be able to order a custom axle locally, but we don't ship custom axles. Timbren offers an Axle-Less suspension system that would eliminate the need for the axle beam and the leaf springs, which might be a good choice for you. For a 2200 lb option with brakes, I'd recommend the # ASR1THDS01 Axle-Less system. This would be comatible with the # AKHD-545-35-K hub/drum with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern and the...

  • Roof Rack & Cargo Basket Recommendation for 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • We can help you with rooftop cargo carrier options for your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon, such as a Rhino-Rack rooftop cargo basket. Steel cargo basket # RMCB02 will fit on almost any roof rack crossbars, including large factory-installed bars up to 3-1/2-inches wide x 1-1/4-inches tall, so long as their center-to-center spacing is within the range of 25-1/2- to 43-inches. If your Subaru has some type of roof rack bars that meet these specs then this basket will work great for you. If you...

This Class II hitch can be used with any Class II-compatible hitch accessory, such as a cargo carrier like # C18110 or a bike rack such as # TH9058.

  • 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...

  • Is There an EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver Available For a 2024 Subaru Outback?
  • Yes, we do carry the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH34FR for your 2024 Subaru Outback. This is their hidden version as they do not have a stealth if that is what you are looking for. Instead we have the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite # DT74YR if you are wanting a hitch with a removable receiver. With either selection I recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040. This will give you a 4-way flat connector for connecting to most small trailers as well...

  • Spare Tire Bike Rack for Rear of Travel Trailer
  • Even though tire mounted bike racks aren't rated to be used on the rear of trailers due to the extra bouncing around they would experience, we do have a solution or two that would work for you. Swagman's Around the Spare Deluxe Rack, part # S80501, has a two bike capacity and is specifically designed for use on a travel trailer, if the trailer has a 4 or 4-1/2 inch continuously welded steel square tube bumper. If your travel trailer has some exposed frame members on the trailer tongue,...

  • Roof Top Cargo Basket to Fit 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • Many rooftop cargo baskets like the Curt # C18115 require crossbars on the vehicle roof and in the case of this particular basket these bars must be spaced at one of three specific distances and not exceed 3-inches in width or 1-5/8-inches in height. There are also cargo baskets from other companies like Surco that can mount directly to factory side rails on some cars but on your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon none of their products are a fit. I confirmed with my contact at Surco. I also checked...

  • Hitch and Hitch Bike Rack for 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon LL Bean Sport Edition
  • Unfortunately the LL Bean Sport package on your 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon interferes with hitch installation so none of the 5 hitches offered for the 2005 Outback will work on your vehicle. However you still have the option to use a trunk-mount 2-bike carrier. The Hollywood Racks # HRF2 is ideal for vehicles like your Outback that have a rear spoiler. Many otherwise excellent racks have trouble with spoilers, as that feature can interfere with their mounting straps. The # HRF2 is designed...

  • Kayak Carrier Availability for 2015 Subaru Outback With Factory Roof Rack
  • I checked with Thule and the Thule Hull-A-Port Carrier, # TH834, is a fit for your 2015 Subaru Outback with a factory roof rack. This is one of our most popular kayak carriers. This J-style carrier lets you transport 1 kayak up to 36 inches wide on your factory crossbars. The carrier is a breeze to install. Just place the carrier on the crossbars and swivel the bottom bracket securing it to the carriage bolts. Then tighten the wing nuts and you're done. It is also recommended to check...

  • Is There a Front Mount Hitch Option for 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76227 cannot be installed on the front of your 2019 Subaru Outback but is a great option for a rear mounted hitch receiver. The front frame and suspension is not designed for the additional cargo weight and stability required to add a front mounted hitch receiver.

  • Trailer Hitch Availability for 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • All aftermarket hitches made for the 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon do require drilling. This is true for both the 1-1/4-inch Class II hitches and the 2-inch Class III hitches like Draw-Tite # 75673. Drilling into a new vehicle can seem a bit scary but once you compare the price for one of these aftermarket hitches to the cost for the factory hitch you may find it less scary. We have help resources to make hitch installation easier for the first-time installer. I linked the written instructions,...

  • Trailer Hitch Options for 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • All of the aftermarket hitches offered for your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon are shown on the linked page and both 1-1/4-inch Class II and 2-inch Class III hitches are available. All hitches will require some drilling. Of all options I suggest the Draw-Tite 2-inch hitch # 75673 for its more favorable price. The linked installation video shows you the entire process on a 2013 Outback. It will be necessary to lower the exhaust for easier access to the mounting points. All tools required are...

  • Availability of Custom-Fit Towing Mirrors for 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • We do not offer custom-fit towing mirrors for the 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon. However, you do have many options in universal-fit mirrors. The link provided will let you see all universal-fit towing mirrors which include clip-on, door-mount and fender-mount types. For example, we offer the K-Source Universal Clip On Towing Mirror # KS3891, which is sold as a single unit (not a pair) and which has a mirror surface that measures 7-3/4-inches tall x 5-1/8-inches wide. These mirrors feature...

  • Availability of Fog Light Mounting Brackets to Fit Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket
  • I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately there are no light mounting kits that are made specifically for the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB. Instead I recommend going with the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07070 which has similar dimensions plus you can add the Light Mounting Brackets Kit # Y07075. This comes with 2 brackets that you can mount lights to.

  • What is Tongue Weight Capacity of 2012 Subaru Outback When Draw Tite Hitch is Installed
  • Trailer hitch/vehicle towing capacities are limited by the lowest rated component in the setup. The Draw Tite hitch part # 76227 has a tongue weight capacity of 600 lbs which means it's over-built for your vehicle that has a 200 lb tongue weight rating. You'd have to look into a small trailer to tow your motorcycle since a carrier option wouldn't be safe. For trailer wiring you'd need the # 118467 if you wanted to go that route. You'll also need a ball mount and ball so you might be...

  • Roof Rack, Trailer Hitch and Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2016 Subaru Outback Limited
  • Let's start with a hitch for your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon. We offer both a 1-1/4-inch Class II and 2-inch Class III hitch for your Outback as long as it is not the Sport version. The two hitch options from Curt can be seen on the linked page. Cargo carriers are available to fit both hitch sizes but for the most carrying capacity I recommend the Class III hitch # C13206 since it offers a substantial 600-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity. A 2-inch hitch also offers better compatibility with...

  • Adapter to Attach Yakima Powderhound Ski Rack to Factory Crossbars on 2011 Subaru Outback
  • The Yakima PowderHound uses mounting feet that will fit the factory crossbars of your Subaru Outback without any additional adapters as long as you have the original hardware. Otherwise you will need Universal MightyMounts, # Y03590. Also if you have an older discontinued version of the PowderHound you will need part # Y03590. I have included a link to the PowderHound instructions and to a video review for you.

  • What is Your Narrowest Cargo Box For A 2022 Subaru Outback With 2 Yakima Highroad Bike Carriers?
  • With the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y02114 being 9-1/2" wide you will need to measure your crossbars to determine the exact amount of space you have available with both carriers. The SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box # SR7011 is going to be our narrowest box at 21" wide. So you will need to have at least 40" of available crossbar mounting area on each bar to use both bike racks with this cargo box.

  • Is There a Receiver Like the etrailer # e42TR With Additional Steel Connecting The Receiver to Tube?
  • We do have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7601 which uses more steel to connect the crossbar to the end of the receiver on your 2017 Subaru Outback. This receiver is also made in the USA and comes with a limited lifetime warranty like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42TR.

  • Air Line Union Connector for 1/4 Inch Air Line Tubing
  • We certainly do! You'll need part # F3079-1 which is a Firestone part, but it's also compatible with the 1/4 inch air tubing used with by Air Lift air helper spring kits as well. Like any of the air line push-connectors, a good leak free connection depends on the air line cut being perfectly square. Use a sharp utility knife or a dedicated tubing cutter like # AL10530, as snips or docks will partially crush the tubing resulting in leaks.
