Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75560 Fit a 2009 Subaru Outback SE with Dual Exhaust

Question:

Whats the difference between these two versions of the seemingly same car? It appears my 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon Sport or SE for Sport Edition with two mufflers is exactly like non-Sport as the one in your installation video. Is there something Im missing. I want to get the 2inch hitch.

Everything that I could find states that the SE in a 2009 Subaru Outback SE stands for Special Edition. In 2009 the Sport model would have been an Impreza Outback Sport which is smaller than the regular Outback. The regular Outbacks are based on the Legacy and the Outback Sport is based on the Impreza.

Based on that you can install Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75560!

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And for trailer wiring you can use # 118461 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.
