I bought thi hitch for my 2008 Subaru Legacy Wagon. The hitch fits perfectly into the factory mounting bolts, easy and quick intalation, all hardware came in the package. Also the price for this part was $[XX] less than anybody else offers.
Had my garage remove a very rusty older bar from my '06 Outback and fit this one so I could attach a new Thule MTB rack to 2" hitch. It's been rock solid and has worked perfectly.
Great hitch and delivery came as promised, very quickly. It was a bit tricky installing - being careful and thorough, it took 2 hours. The hitch is strong and will hold 400 pounds, plenty for the 73 pound e-bikes we have.
Fit was perfect and the install video was clear and helpful! Pictures also show tongue for bike rack.
The hitch fit our 2008 Subaru outback wagon perfectly. Installation was straightforward and fairly quick.
It has been in use for a year and we are completely satisfied with the purchase!
Fairly easy install, even just using a jack. Just followed the video and it took me about 90 minutes with some help from my son. It's hard to imagine doing this without an extra set of hands when actually installing the rack in place, but I'm a B- mechanic and I pulled it off. The rack seems super solid, and if the two previous racks I've ordered from etrailer are any guide, this thing will probably outlast the car it's attached to
Works great I've used it a bunch for camping and pulling my trailer for the dirtbike
Fit perfectly instructions were clear, only issue I found is I like torque specs and it didn't come with any also nothing about using lock tight on bolts but I would recommend it
Super fast shipping and the online video of my install on my 2006 Outback XT made it so easy!
The Hitch worked perfectly took less than 30 minutes to install completely got to recommend it to anybody that's got a Subaru
Over the past 3 months I have been fixing and replacing parts on my, new to me, 05 Subaru Outback. Sway bar links, lower control arm bushings, driveline, tires, struts... and a taller hitch. Of all the products I've ordered and replaced none have been as easy to install as this hitch. Etrailer provided a YouTube video all the hardware bolts, nuts, spacers needed to do the job. They contacted me via email after my order was placed after it was shipped and after it arrived. Very customer oriented and well designed product. From a retired engineer, this hitch is simple strong and well crafted. I couldn't be happier.

Great trailer hitch, getting ready to order one for my new Jetta sport wagon.
We bought a car for our daughter and needed to go from WA state to AZ. Needed to pull a small trailer with stuff. Pretty easy install for me. I had so the tools necessary and it towed like a breeze the whole way. Unfortunately didn't get any pics, but it looks very good. Light wiring was a but of a challenge, but this receiver hitch was perfect.
The install was quite surprisingly simple. Thanks for the installation video etrailer! Really like the 2” receiver which seems be more accessorized in the market. The strength of this hitch and appearance (for the money) is superior to the smaller receiver offering.
Very solid hitch. Easy to install (with some help from someone far handier than I am). Installation was simple, just 5 bolts. Hardest part was lowering the exhaust assembly. I would recommend this company to friends, George emailed me personally when the hitch was delivered.

1 yr. update - Tow hitch worked great. Just sold the car, now I need another tow hitch. Be contacting you guys soon.
The hitch arrived so fast! I unboxed it in the driveway. I had it installed within three hours of arrival. The fit was perfect. The installation simple and straight-forward. The quality was superb. All necessary items were included. I had reviewed the installation video so I didn't even reference the included instructions. Overall I am very impressed.

Its been solid and trustworthy.
It's been a year of usage and I have no issue. The wiring harness is also working just fine.
Great products and great customer services!
I would highly recommend anyone who is planning to install a hitch receiver.

It has been wonderful since I installed the hitch. I use for towing a kayak trailer for a local clean up volunteer group. Its been no issues whatsoever. Unfortunately, my car was totaled and lost the vehicle and the hitch. I am looking for another Outback and if it doesnt come with the hitch, I know where to buy again!

I use the hitch all the time,have a small and a large utility trailer haul tons of pellets every year. Very happy with my purchase,
Went in easy, replaced the 1 1/4 inch that came with the car. Perfect fit.
Worked out great, installed on wife's 09 Outback and not mods needed, direct install just like described.
Easy to install on my '06 Outback H6 3.0., happy to have a 2" hitch available. Just had to pop a few rubber exhaust hangers to get it in. Considerably cheaper than trailer rental place shipped. Bought it mostly to mount a bike rack, but it has been used to tow a 'lil trailer several times. End of the hitch is about 3.5" recessed behind the rear bumper line, so pretty low visibility when not in use if that matters to you. I would've designed it to mount on top of the rear tow loop as opposed to under it to get that extra 1-1.5" of ground clearance available to reduce my bike rack bottoming out on the steepest of driveways.
Got this hitch for my 05 Outback XT. I got it mainly for my bike rack carrier, but also so I can tow a small utility trailer in the future. Hitch was very easy to install (did it by myself). Had to tap out 2 holes due to rust, but other than that, install was smooth. I really like how it looks on my car. Had a few paint chips (I’m assuming from shipping or storage) that I had to touchup after I put the hitch on but that was no big deal. Customer service was awesome, I give a shout-out to Rose G for being awesome and helping me out. I would Definitely recommend etrailer to anyone for there trailer and hitch needs.
# 75560 Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 2" Receiver, for 2006 Subaru Outback. Video for 2008 model has good tips. However, 2005 and 2006 are different. The same 4 capped factory nuts are there, but only the two rear-most are used. Further back, a bolt must be removed from the angle iron bracket holding the rear bumper on. One on each side. Toss the bolt and use longer bolt, supplied. Before removing the bumper bolt, use a crow bar to do some bending. Very close fit between rear-most hitch anchor points and bumper bracket. Mine didn't fit. Car was too wide and hitch too narrow. Barely. Vertical part of bumper bracket angle iron needs to be bent in. Leave bracket bolts in to insure the right part is stressed and bent. Two inches of the forward most end of the angle iron has a gap between horizontal and vertical. -They don't meet at the corner. Helps in bending the vertical. 2005 install video by etrailer was very helpful. Theirs fit right out of the box.
I found the information on the etrailer site to be very informative and helpful. Found the install video to be "right on" except that I needed to drop both of my mufflers to get the hitch into position (2005 Subaru Outback LL Bean Edition 3.0). Other than that, the install went as described in the video, and very close to the estimated time. I've included a few pics. Very happy with the customer service from etrailer. Shipping was fast, communications regarding my order were excellent, and the product is a quality hitch exactly as described. Thank you!
Installation was as quick as described.
However, there was some amount of work to remove the mud guards in order to drop the muffler system. Removal took some work since 3 different fasteners were used.
I was working at home alone using a set of ramps to access the rear of the car, and it took some work to:
1. lift the hitch assembly into place. Hint, lift one side and loosely fit a bolt, then do the other side. and
2. lifting the muffler system into place required a set of straps attached to the roof rack and progressively raising each side.
Maybe a younger person would find it easier, but it is either a two person job, or it requires some thought and experiment.
Received products in a couple days from ordering. Everything was packed well and intact. Installation was super easy after watching the video a couple times. It probably took me more time to figure out where the lift points were on my Subaru than to actually attach the hitch. The installation kit included all the bits I needed and contained clear information (especially in combination with the video). Will absolutely recommend the DrawTite hitch and eTrailer!

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. Connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.The wiring, platform, and hitch fit with no issues. A couple of brackets had to be removed but my car service guy said it was no problem. My only problem is I still need a pick up truck. The set up is good for small light loads but my Subaru is just too light weight.
The trailer wiring harness was perfect for my Subaru! It was easy to install and worked correctly.
It helps a lot to read the directions. Well made product and worked perfect first time connected.
True plug and play! Video was great except my harness was on the driver side of my 08 outback not the passenger side.
Worked out great, installed on wife's 09 Outback and not mods needed, direct install just like described.
I'll start off and say that this product looks and feels five star, but I'm docking it one because the installation docs and video are very mismatched and conflictive. The one-page paper installation doc was barely applicable, while the video was much, much better. Use it!
Pulling out the few pieces of the car necessary to gain access to the OEM plug was relatively easy. Where things got messy was where to actually put the "control" block for this thing. The video shows a self-adhesive backing which was not present. There are included zip-ties but no really good place to use them. I didn't want to leave it loose in there to become yet another rattle in the car, so I ended up securing it with that foil tape used for duct-work. It seems to have done the trick.
Routing the cable was easy, and I dropped it under the spare tire and through a grommet, resealing it with silicone when I was done. I'd have loved to see some kind of cable management included for under the car and around the hitch, rather than the four independent wires being just ad-hoc wrapped around things.
Electrical testing worked flawlessly, and all outputs were signaling correctly.
Great product. This took under 5 minutes to install. The Forester 2006 had the electrical connector under the floor tray on the passenger side at the very rear under the taillight hidden by a plastic flap. Lift up flap, plug in, then snug the hardware into the side well.
You can run the wire and trailer connector through the 1" hole at the rear of the wheel well capped by a large rubber plug so the wire disappears under the spare.
Box arrived with a couple holes torn and hitch hanging out one corner, but l accepted it hoping for the best. Installed hitch and wiring harness by myself in about 2 hours from start to finish... probably could have done it faster with help, starting the bolts was frustrating but doable nonetheless. Product seems well made, no complaints there. Dealing with Etrailer has been a good experience so far and will most likely be a returning customer.
Attached pic of hitch hiding under bumper, just how l like it!
Product, shipping, website, return policy all were perfect. Will for sure use this site in the future. Only reason i didn't give it full excellent review was because I found my hitch cheaper two on 2 other sites. That being said those sites didn't have the amount of reviews etrailer did which further explained the ease of install by customers....and gave me that desired warm and fuzzy feeling when ordering from the World Wide Web :)
Wiring installation instructions complete with pictures made me feel like superman with a phd. Well done etrailer. Well done.
Great internet service, good customer service, great experience will use this company in the future for sure !

Excellent product, works great, this is the third product purchased from etrailer they all are quality products
I'm used to the pain of wiring small trailers but this harness makes it pretty idiot proof. Find the plug-in on the vehicle, plug it in, install fuse, fish the plug through the spare tire area and boom. Easy peasy! I haven't checked it to verify it works but I'm guessing it does. Thanks Etrailer!
quick install, and worked well! So much easier than trying to freestyle the wiring.
Easy peasie is what this is. Quick connect inside vehicle makes it easy and the videos are great too. Thanks again
just what it was supoded to be.nice clean uneventfull install and it works great.instructions were spot on.pictures on instructions could be clearer but were goodenough.would buy this product again.
Shipped on time as advertised and complete. Instructions were well written and accurate for hitch itself, but missing a couple steps for the electrical connector kit, (as for taking apart the car trim) so took some time to figure out. (The instructions were from the manufacturer and not etrailer.com itself). Connector worked fine on installation.The fit of the hitch was very precise, so precise that at first I thought it wasn't the right model. But I persevered, and it did fit. The close and precise fit is appreciated, it should help eliminate possible looseness, rattling, and weakness. This is my third Curt hitch from etrailer.com on 3 different cars. I would definitely buy from them again.

These are not the first Curt products I ordered from Etrailer. After a year, I have no complaints about the products, and certainly none about Etrailer. I find the Curt products well designed in form, fit, and durability, and etrailer a fast and efficient way to order them.
2008 Outback
Wires are good quality. Instructions could be a lot better. "remove left and center black plastic, after locating wire..." The words "wire connector located just forward of left tail light assembly would of been better than all of the instructions given. The plastic on the side goes from the tailgate past the back seat and you don;t need to remove it. You only have to remove a screw in the corner but I had no idea which panel it was behind, center or left towards the front back or middle. Step 2 for outback refers to fig A but mine looks nothing like it, mine looks like fig C.
They also say Tools needed : phillips screw driver. That's it. And step 2 they talk about using a pry tool.
The kit also includes a grounding electrical connector, a electrical splice fitting and a self tapping sheet metal screw with no reference as to what to do with them.
Spending ten minutes to write some instructions would make this about perfect.

I use this frequently and have had no problems with it.
Complete kit,easy installation. The wiring harness connected directly to the auxiliary wiring found in the left rear inside pockect of our 08 subaru Outback. All lights on our 2 trailers worked the very first time . We've had this kit for a little over a year, With zero problems. Many thanks to Curt for quality product. Also many thanks to etrailer.com (Laurae) for their fast friendly service.

Its a great product. Still performs flawless after thousands of trailer hookups.
Plugged it in, i have lights!! My 02 Forester came with a harness, but when i plugged it into my trailer there were no lights on the right side. I emailed George, got some very helpful diagnostic help, and determined the old harness was faulty. Ordered the new one, plugged it in, viola...good as new :) cant say enough good things about etrailer.com, but i will add that EVERY online business should operate this way.

Hello, and thanks for following up after the 1st year has elapsed.Product still works great. Etrailer has a customer for life in me, I remain impressed with my experience there :
This harness replaced a Draw-Tite one that failed after about 4 years of occasional use. I'm hoping this one, with revised circuitry, lasts longer. It was trivial to install, as it has the correct pin connector for my Forester. In contrast to the previous harness, it has a dust cover and a 10 amp fuse. It worked fine on a 200+ mile drive (including the load for a camera I use for a rearview in my travel trailer).

This harness still works perfectly. Like others who bought it, I keep the wiring inside my forester when not in use, rather than mounting the external portion of the connector to the receiver hitch.
Product arrived on time and was very easy to install. My hook up was right where "etrailer" said it would be and the video made it as simple as plug and play. I hooked it up the day I received it and within 17 minutes I was loading my trailer with deer stands and heading to the woods. The product was perfect in function, price and ease of install. Will definitely use "etrailer" again.
Thank you, John

The curt trailer wire harness is perfect for 2009 subaru outback. thanks so much for info and product. I will buy additional harnesses as backup for our other cars since my 2009 connector broke at an inconvenient time.

Curt trailer wire harness is still excellent after 1 year.
The wiring harness/trailer plug worked great, no problems except for the installation instructions. I had to look elsewhere for instruction on how to get to my particular vehicle's built-in plug. The included instructions were not wrong, just too vague. A link to a website with more specific instructions would have been nice. Delivery was quick.

It works perfectly, no problems at all.
So far everything worked out. Shipment took 3 days instead of 2, but was happy as many packages were delayed longer because of the storm. Thank you for getting it out the same day as I ordered.
Installation went well and was just as your video described. Will test it this afternoon when I pick up the trailer. Even in 10 deg F weather, the installation went very easy. Good thing, finger tips were cold!

Worked out great. used it about 5 times so far. Easy to use, and easy to install.
Worked perfectly with my 2002 Outback wagon and Uhaul trailers. On this model, the harness attachment is found in the back underneath the carpeting and foam over the passenger side wheel well.

Still works as advertised
Product seems correct but it was shipped in the same box as the trailer hitch with no packing material and the box the wiring came in was smashed by the hitch and it’s contents were scattered inside the shipping box.
