Trailer Hitch Availability for 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
I am in the process of buying a subaru 2016 outback wagon is there a trailer hitch for this car that does not require drilling to install this hitch
asked by: James C
Expert Reply:
All aftermarket hitches made for the 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon do require drilling. This is true for both the 1-1/4-inch Class II hitches and the 2-inch Class III hitches like Draw-Tite # 75673. Drilling into a new vehicle can seem a bit scary but once you compare the price for one of these aftermarket hitches to the cost for the factory hitch you may find it less scary.
We have help resources to make hitch installation easier for the first-time installer. I linked the written instructions, a help article and a video that shows the entire installation process. Our hitches come complete with all required hardware and you can refer to the linked instructions for the tools required.
