We offer Class ll and Class lll trailer hitches for your 2011 Legacy. I recommend going with the Class lll because it gives you many more options when attaching any accessories like cargo carriers or bike racks.
The trailer hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, part # 75673. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. When installed, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the bumper is 4-1/2 inches. You will need to know this if you intend to use the hitch for a bike carrier or any other accessory to make sure you have the clearance.
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.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
If you need a trailer wiring harness I recommend part # 118511. 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.
I have attached a couple links to some of the bike carriers and cargo carriers we offer that are designed for 2-inch receivers. If you have any questions about a specific item let me know and I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.
