Expert Answers about Subaru Outback Sedan


  • Which Trailer Hitch for 2002 Subaru Outback Sedan
  • We offer a Curt # C12270 or a Draw-Tite # 36284 Class II receiver hitch for your 2002 Subaru Outback Sedan. Both hitches would install in the same manner, with a couple of slight differences.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2001 Subaru Outback
  • The recommended trailer wiring harness for your 2001 Subaru Outback is the part # 118461 that plugs into the port in the rear cargo area of the vehicle. The standard way to use this harness is to keep it stored in the cargo compartment of the vehicle when not in use and then run it out the back door when needed.

  • Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2005 Subaru Outback Sedan
  • The factory connector to plug in a trailer wiring harness should be relatively in the same spot on your 2005 Subaru Outback Sedan as it is in the wagon models. That is to say behind the rear most trim panel in the trunk area on the passenger's side of the vehicle. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. If you are unable to locate the factory harness or if your Outback is a model that did not receive one you would need to use a hardwire harness such as # C59236.

  • Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2006 Subaru Outback Impreza with 1-1/4 inch Hitch
  • I attached a link to a page that has all of the hitch cargo carriers we offer that will fit the 1-1/4 inch hitch you have installed on your 2006 Subaru Outback but the one I recommend is the Reese Carrier part # 63155 because the I like the dimensions it has of 20x47 inch which makes it very practical for most applications and because it has a higher railing which helps keep things on the platform.

  • What is the Difference Between the Hopkins and Tekonsha Wiring Kits for a 2007 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The first difference between the Hopkins Active Tail Light Converter with Install Kit # 46255 and the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Harness and Hardwire Kit # 119250KIT is that the Hopkins kit comes with Dielectric Grease and the Tekonsha comes with a Circuit Tester. The biggest difference between the two is that the # 119250KIT connects to your vehicle without cutting the original wires, this is a big deal. Furthermore, I do recommend the Tekonsha kit over the Hopkins kit because we...

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2003 Subaru Outback
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and he said that they have test fitted all their snow chains on 2003 Subaru Outbacks and found there were no clearance issues with any of their chains.

They are made with a manganese steel construction that will last longer than other less expensive chains....
