Expert Answers about Subaru Outback Wagon


  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The best hitch for your 2023 Outback is going to be the etrailer Trailer Hitch item # e25TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Outback with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. It is not rated to be used with weight distribution systems. I really like this hitch because the crossbar installs behind your rear bumper. This completely conceals it leaving only the 2" receiver visible....

  • How To Choose The Correct 4-Bike Bike Rack For A 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • You'll first want to verify the actual tongue weight capacity of your hitch before putting any weight on it. This can typically be found on the hitch itself, on a sticker in the driver's side door jamb or glove compartment, or in the owner's manual. The tongue capacity is going to be very important as the weight of the bike rack and all the bikes can not exceed the capacity of the hitch. The next thing to consider is the weight and sizes of the bikes you want to carry as well as the...

  • Recommended Brake Controller and 7-Way Connector for a 2022 Subaru Outback Premium
  • Since your Tear Trailer has a 7-way connector you will need a brake controller and a vehicle 7-way connector on your 2022 Subaru Outback Premium. Lets start with the 7-way connector. There isn't one that is custom fit for your Subaru so you will have to go with a universal option to add on to your Subaru's 4-way. If you don't already have a 4-way connector you will need to add one first. The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118467 is custom...

  • Will 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon OEM 1-1/4 Hitch Work with Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack
  • As long as the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the face of the hitch is at least 1-1/2" (see attached photo) you'll be good to use the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 with the OEM hitch on your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon. If the distance is less than that we need to look at a different bike rack or trailer hitch because there won't be enough of the shank from the EasyFold XT in the hitch receiver for proper support. I recommend swapping out the hitch receiver since you'll...

  • Best Roof Rack For My 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • If it were me, I would 100% go with Yakima. Both Thule and Yakima will be just as low profile as the other. I would get the Yakima Jetstream crossbars # Y00425. These are 50 inch crossbars in black but you can get longer bars in silver if you want. You'll then need the Skyline Towers # Y53TR and this landing pad set # Y00241. These will mount in your fixed mounting points on your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon. I really like this system because it is SO simple to remove the crossbars and install...

  • Will Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Prinsu Roof Rack On 2011 Subaru Outback?
  • I did some research and it looks like the Prinsu roof rack for your 2011 Subaru Outback has crossbars that are 1" tall and 2" wide. This will be able to accommodate the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Titan Glossy Item # TH629707 since it fits crossbars that are no taller than 1-11/16" and no wider than 3-1/2". I attached a demonstration video for you to check out regarding this roof box.

  • Snow Tire Chains or Cables For 2019 Subaru Outback With 225/60-18 Tires
  • That's a really good question, and your assumption about chains being better than cables is right on for your 2019 Subaru Outback with 225/60-18 tires. Cables are really just for emergency use, and realistically only able to be used once or twice, so if you aren't sure you will really be using them, or don't mind buying another set yearly, then it is fine to go with the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1046. Having said that, I do highly recommend going with a specific set of chains...

  • Will the Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Fit a 2010 Subaru Outback with Factory Roof Rack
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule about the Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box, # TH78GC, fitting on your 2010 Subaru Outback. She stated that the cargo box will fit the factory cross bars on your vehicle. You will not be able to open the sun roof with the box mounted on the roof rack. If you have a moon roof (the type that slides into the roof) it should be able to function. She went on to state that they do not test to see if the rear hatch will open all the way with the box installed....

  • Will Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Have Enough Clearance With Curt Hitch on 2020 Subaru Outback
  • You will not have a problem using your Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22B with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67JR. One of the nice things about this hitch is that the receiver sits almost flush with the rear bumper. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the bumper of your 2020 Outback is approximately 3". Looking at the bike rack, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack when folded down is 10-1/2". When folded up it is 7". This...

  • 4-Way Wiring Harness Compatibility From a 2008 Subaru Outback To a 2018 Subaru Outback
  • There is not an adapter that will allow you to transfer your Curt harness from your 2008 Subaru Outback to your new 2018 Subaru Outback. You will need a Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040 for your new Outback. This will plug into your factory connection to give you the 4-way flat trailer connector.

  • Recommended Ball Mount For A 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon Towing A Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer
  • On the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" # Y08106 the height from the ground to the top of the inside of the coupler where the ball sits is 22 inches so then from the bottom of the coupler lip to the ground measures 20 inches when the trailer sits level. So if you are looking to pick out a ball mount to use with this trailer you'll want to measure from the ground to the top of the hitch opening and whatever the difference between what that dimension is and 20 is the rise/drop you need....
