Recommended Ball Mount for 2018 Subaru Outback with Draw-Tite Hitch
Question:
I bought item 75673 draw tite trailer hitch for my 2018 subaru. It is now installed. Do you know if the ball mount I will have to order will be a standard length? I am asking because It looks like the the hitch is recessed significantly under the bumper, and I may need to get an extra long mount in order for it to extend out beyond the bumper? Curt Ball Mounts - D-26 Or will a standard length mount work?

Expert Reply:
Your hitch pin hole on your hitch receiver # 75673 is about 5 inches from the outer part of your bumper. The Curt Ball Mount # D-26 you mentioned measures 12-5/8 inches from the center of the pin hole to the center of the hitch ball, so that would be overkill.
I recommend the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs # 989900 which will have a measurement of 8-1/2 inches from center of pin to center of hitch ball or 9 inches depending on which draw bar is used. This kit will give you multiple hitch ball options as well and includes the carrying/storage case and pin and clip.
