Draw Tite hitches do not require the stabilizer strap like the Curt hitches do. The Draw Tite hitch part # 75673 that you referenced would be an excellent option confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Subaru Outback that does not ever require a stabilizer strap so I would recommend it highly.

I attached an install video for this rack for you to check out as well.
