Helpful Expert Reply:

The Thule Helium Aero 2 Bike carrier, part # TH9042PRO, will not be a good fit for your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon simply because of the factory hitch pin hole location on your hitch. Instead I recommend using the Kuat Beta # B202-114 for a similar lightweight carrier. I've attached a review video to highlight some of the attributes that make this a great option for you.

If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a product review video for this adapter bar.
