Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed to Fit a 2018 Subaru Outback  

Question:

Earlier answers from your experts noted that this hitch is not yet supported on the 2018 Outback. Torklift includes the 2018 on its product page. Can you please confirm with the manufacturer that we can buy 306-X7601 for the 2018 Outback? Thank you.

I did reach out to Torklift and confirmed that the Ecohitch # 306-X7601 fits the 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon.

If you also need a wiring harness to power a trailer's lights the Tekonsha # 118467 is a fit. This gives you a 4-way trailer connector at the rear of the Outback.

You'll also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I've attached a link of our selection of ball mounts for a 2 inch hitch receiver as well as an article to help you determine the correct rise or drop you may need. Once you choose a ball mount you can then choose a hitch ball to fit it.

One way to make choosing a ball mount easier is to go with an adjustable ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10038B. It features the ability to be flipped under the hitch when not using it and will provide up to 5-1/2 inches of rise or 5 inches of drop.

For a pin and clip to fit you can use # PC3 or if you'd like to have a locking pin you can use # BX8858.

I've also included links to some articles on towing that you might find helpful.
