Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
I noticed that you have a hitch for the 2015 Subaru Outbacks, but the video is for a 2014 Outback. Is it the same installation for the 2014 and the 2015?

You are correct. The video for the Draw-Tite Trailer hitch, part # 75673 that is designed to fit your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon would be the same installation as shown on the 2014 Outback. We have not had the opportunity to do an installation on a 2015 just yet, but when we do we will be adding that video to our website.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. I have attached a link to a product review video for this ball kit you can check out.
If you need trailer wiring I recommend the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # 118467. You simply locate the connection point in the rear cargo area and plug the module in and you will have a 4-way connector at the rear of your Outback.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
