2 inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon for Kuat NV
Question:
Hi, I have a 2013 Subaru Outback and am interested in installing a 2inch hitch so that I can use it with a Kuat NV rack. I read that the Curt rack is not recommended with hitch type racks since they recommend a strap. Which hitch would you recommend for use with this rack? Regards

Expert Reply:
For your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon I would recommend the Draw Tite hitch part # 75673 which is a confirmed fit for a 2 inch hitch on your vehicle. The reason being that unlike Curt hitches you don't have to use the stabilizer strap with this hitch. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
This will work great with your Kuat NV part # N105 or the newer 2.0 part # NV22G.
