So the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56040 is just a 4-way, which means it only powers your trailer's turn signals, brake lights, and tail lights (the other wire is a ground wire).
In order to add a brake controller you would also need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # ETBC7.
The Curt 4-Way # C56040 will plug into the 7-way that comes with the # ETBC7, and it is the 7-way that has the... view full answer...
You can certainly mount two Yakima FrontLoader Bike Carriers, # Y02103, to the LoadWarrior Cargo Basket, # Y07070, and load cargo in between, but you will need two of the Yakima Loadbars, # 8870042, to mount the bike racks. The FrontLoader bike racks require two crossbars to attach to and these loadbars will provide the crossbars on top of the LoadWarrior cargo basket for the bike carriers.
Since you will be loading two bikes and cargo on the LoadWarrior cargo basket, I recommend verifying... view full answer...
The mounting bracket included with the Yakima MegaWarrior, part # Y07080-82 can be moved so they line up with the crossbars on your Outback.
The only requirement is that the minimum crossbar spread should be 36 inches and the maximum should be 60 inches. The problem with the added extension is just what you are saying. It may inhibit being able to fully open the hatchback. You may be able to shift the basket forward to allow the hatch to open.

You can absolutely use a ball mount longer than your current which is 5 inches long and there will not be any type of negative affect on your towing. We do have ball mounts that will work with a Class II, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch and that have the right amount of rise for you:
- 7" Long: Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches - 5/8" Rise, 1-1/4" Drop # 36051
- 9-3/4" Long: Draw Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitch - 5/8" Rise, 1-1/4" Drop # 36053
Both of these ball mounts come with a pin and... view full answer...
It sounds like you are describing Curt stabilization strap # 18050. It is used to take some of the stress off of the trailer hitch. I have linked a video showing how this strap works and it sounds like what you are describing. view full answer...
Minus packaging, the Draw-Tite # 75673 Class III trailer hitch weighs about 32 lbs, and is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon. You might consider the less expensive Curt # C13410 Class IIl as well. The Curt hitch features a concealed design that hides the hitch crossbar behind the bumper for a cleaner appearance. I've linked to install video for both hitches, so you can compare what both hitches look like once they're installed. The Curt hitch weighs about 5 lbs less than... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at MaxxAir who said that the MaxxAir Mini Deluxe Trailer Roof Vent # MA00-03801 draws just under 2 amps with the fan and the lights on.
This fan is also available in black with part # MA00-03851. view full answer...
The difference between Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier # TH849000 and # TH849000-97 is the mounting hardware. # TH849000 comes with hardware to secure it to any Thule crossbar via T-Slot and the other type of Thule Hull-A-Port # TH849000-97 is strictly for a square bar roof rack systems or crossbars with T-Slots.
If you were wanting to put the Thule Hull-A-Port # TH849000-97 on the roof of your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon touring with flush rails you'll need the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars... view full answer...
If you order the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75673 that fits your 2011 Subaru Outback (excluding Sport) you can very easily find an installer. While we do not have any affiliation with any installers, this is something that any mechanic will be able to do. So if you have a mechanic shop you trust you can make an appointment there. Otherwise you can simply call local mechanics and ask if they have experience with this install (which is comparatively easy for mechanics).

It it becoming increasingly popular to use an auto resetting circuit breaker in place of a fuse nowadays. The reason for this is that in the event of a short, the breaker will trip and stop the supply of power. When the circuit is fixed the breaker will reset and you will not need to replace it as opposed to a fuse which would need to be replaced once blown. This is the reason that our Universal Installation Kit part # ETBC7 comes with auto resetting circuit breakers though you could certainly... view full answer...
You wouldn't want to drive any faster than 30 mph with Pewag # PWRS79 Pewag Servo installed.
The same would hold true with any tire chain. One of the main reasons for this speed prohibition is the fact that if the chain should fail, it would sling around and severely damage the vehicle.
I've linked to a demonstration video for the Pewag # PWRS79 Servo Snow Chains. view full answer...
You can install a brake controller on your 2020 Subaru Outback, and there is indeed a stop light switch on the vehicle. I have added a photo from a video of a brake controller install we did on a '20 Outback that shows the location of the stop light switch, which will be up under the brake pedal. I have linked the video for you below, and it talks about the stop light switch at about the 16:05 mark.
In regards to a basic brake controller, I think the best option is a time-delayed controller... view full answer...
When the adapter is fastened to the shank of your Ridgeline with the # 853-5787-02 screw, the connection between the adapter and your bike rack will be snug. The two parts will not move against each other. The shank of your Ridgeline should be threaded for the Thule hitch pin, part # THSTL2. Once the threaded hitch pin is used, it will draw the shank plus the adapter against the side of the hitch receiver, preventing any movement. view full answer...
The Rightline Gear SUV Tent with Rainfly - Waterproof - Sleeps 4 # RL110907 does have a privacy panel for all windows and doors.

Correct, the max amp draw is 16 amps for the Bulldog Winch Portable Air Compressor # BDW41004. There isn't a similar portable compressor with a max 10 amps, but there is a nifty wall mounted compressor that's still more convenient than going to a gas station to fill your tires. This just plugs into a standard wall outlet and is the Tru-Flate Wall-Mounted Tire Inflator - 110 psi - 120 Volts # 16-250. view full answer...
The Blue Ox Base-Plate and Receiver Locks you mentioned, part # BX88177 are indeed keyed alike.
If all you are needing is two hitch locks for a Class III receiver, the Dead Bolt Stainless Steel Receiver Lock, part # e98882 is available keyed alike. On the product page (follow link) simply select the Keyed Alike option. view full answer...
Curt requires the strap to provide extra support for when the vehicle goes over rough pavement or experiences a sudden shock like hitting a pothole. Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch feel that this isn't necessary with their hitches.
Because the strap is an extra expense, and because some vehicles just aren't well suited to using the strap, I'll usually recommend going with the Draw-Tite or Hidden Hitch models. view full answer...
I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2011 Subaru Outback and it stated for models with your 2.5 liter engine the maximum towing capacity is 2,700 lbs for a trailer with brakes, or 1,000 lbs for a trailer without brakes.
To tow you will need to start with a trailer hitch and I highly recommend the options from Draw-Tite because of how reliable they have proven to be. Assuming you do not have a Sport model you have two options for hitches, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75673... view full answer...
Although we don't offer a dual hitch adapter for a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the # 36284 you'd looked at, I do have a solution that could work for you, assuming that your bike rack and bikes weigh less than 100 lbs and the trailer's tongue weight plus the weight of the bikes and rack don't exceed the 300 lb tongue weight capacity of the # 36284 hitch.

To properly measure the height of your hitch, with the tow vehicle parked on level ground, measure from the ground up to the top of your hitch receiver opening. I've attached an install video of the Curt # C13410 on a similar 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon, and the hitch height the installer observed was 15". This hitch is a great product that pairs perfectly with your vehicle.
