Expert Answers about Subaru Outback Wagon
- What is the Best Quality Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
- I wish I had exact figures I could provide you with but this information is not easily accessible. Unfortunately, the returns due to fitment are mostly related to shipping. The boxes can become damaged depending on how they are treated upon arrival to the customer so there are many variables at play, ones that could not be accurately predicted. If the trailer hitch does arrive and it does not quiet line up, most of the time a slight bend is all that is required so you won't be stuck waiting...
view full answer... - Comparing Capacity of Curt and EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receivers on 2022 Subaru Outback
- The Curt # C67JR and EcoHitch # EH34FR vary based on the manufacturer testing. The EcoHitch tongue weight is higher based on the design of the hitch and the testing that was performed by the manufacturer. This is the same for the Curt, but based on this design and testing the # C67JR is only rated for 350 lbs.
More than likely this will not make a difference between them since you will be limited by the capacity of your 2022 Subaru Outback. Make sure to consult your owner's manual for...

- There is very little difference in bumper clearances between the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76227 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13410 that fit your 2015 Subaru Outback. You aren't going to hit a knee on either, as the face of the hitch on both is about equal to the bumper.
The biggest difference we saw between these two hitches when we test fit them on a '15 Outback was that the Curt hitch offered about an inch more ground clearance than the Draw-Tite, but otherwise the hitches...

- The weight of the hitch is not a factor in the strength of the hitch. While the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67JR ships at 28lbs and has a tongue weight capacity up to 600lbs, the Stealth Hitches Rack Receiver # 391SUOB20 ships at 41lbs and has the same 600lb tongue weight capacity.
It's important to note that these hitches will always be limited by the vehicle's own capacity so it's important to refer to the owners manual before taking on any towing activity.

view full answer... - Difference Between 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitches
- The only difference between the Curt and etrailer hitches that fit your 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon is that the Curt # C67JR has a classic glossy black finish while the etrailer # e25TR has a matte black finish.
I prefer the etrailer hitch because the matte black finish does a better job at blending in with your vehicle, and it has a better resistance to road debris scratches than the glossy finish does.
Attached is an installation video as well as a photo of the etrailer hitch installed...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers # 13390 & # C13410 for a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon
- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13410 will look better on your 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon than the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13390. Since the # C13410 has a hidden cross tube less of the receiver is visible.
When it comes to installation most will likely prefer the # 13390 as it does not involve removing the rear fascia to fit the receiver behind the bumper impact structure.
As you mentioned both receivers have the same rating of 600lbs tongue weight and trailer rating of 4,000lbs.

- That's a good question and the answer is yes, the Curt Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole with Test Lamps # C57674 is the same as the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way to 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # C57672 but with the exception that one has test lamps and the other does not.

- The Draw Tite hitch part # 76227 and the EcoHitch part # 306-X7601 are both really solid options for your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon that are very similar but there are a few differences. The biggest being that the Ecohitch installs a bit tighter to the rear bumper of the vehicle so it's a bit less visible. Since this style of hitch (concealed crosstube) is geared for giving the best look the EcoHitch is the better option.
If you check out the attached picture you can see the difference...

- The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75673 which has the larger 2" receiver tube opening is by far the better option for a 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon when compared to the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36493. The reason for this is because the larger receiver tube allows for a greater selection of hitch mounted accessories to be selected from. For example, we have many more options in regards to bikes racks/cargo carriers for the larger 2" receiver tube opening...
view full answer... - Difference Between EcoHitch EH34FR and Curt C67JR for 2020 Subaru Outback
- Both the EcoHitch # EH34FR and the Curt item # C67JR hitches are pretty similar. Both hitches would install in the same manner, requiring that the rear bumper cover and bumper beam be temporarily removed. The hitches are both installed so that the mounting flanges are sandwiched between the trunk pan and the bumper beam. This acts to conceal the majority of the hitch behind the bumper. Both hitches will require a small amount of trimming to the fascia under the bumper so that the receiver...

- The Class II Curt Hitch # C12136 and Class II Draw-Tite Hitch # 36493 for your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon are very similar, but every Class I and Class II and some Class III Curt Hitches require stabilizing straps to be used when towing non trailer loads. When stabilizing straps are not used on these hitches, the warranty is void and will no longer be covered by Curt. Draw-Tite hitches do not require stabilizing straps to be used on non trailer loads.

- The Hidden Hitch # 87568 (no longer available) and the Draw-Tite Class III # 75673 are both manufactured by the same parent company. Other than the brand name sticker, both hitches are identical. When we installed either hitch on a 2015 Outback, we found that the hitch pin hole was recessed under the vehicle by 5 inches. This means that either the # Y02465 FullSwing or the SwingDaddy would work fine for you.
The primary differences between the SwingDaddy and the FullSwing center around...

- The SuperSprings Coil SumoSprings would be an excellent addition to your 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon to help reduce sag when you are carrying your motorcycle. Once the SumoSprings are installed, they will not raise the rear of your Outback. They are simply there to keep the rear coil springs from compressing as much when there is a load.
