The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # C56040, plugs in with a simple connection in the rear of your 2017 Subaru Outback. Unfortunately, according to my tech contact at Curt, Subaru has not been consistant with where this plug is located. He said they have found them anywhere behind the rear seat to under the carpet near the spare tire, to even taped to the wires behind the tail light. The harness is consistent, but the location isn't other than it is always on the drivers side of the vehicle. I've attached a video where we found it about 12 inches behind the back seat under the side panel.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Yes the Curt hitch part #C12130 is a confirmed fit for your 2008 Mercury Marquis. Then for trailer wiring the Curt harness part #C59236 would be a great option. It's a universal style harness that will require hardwiring to the taillight wiring.
