Best Looking Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon

Question:

I'll be towing a small camper with 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon and need a trailer hitch installed, which do you think is my best option? I'd prefer something not huge and ugly

For your 2018 Subaru Outback wagon the hitch I recommend is the Draw Tite part # 76227 because it has great towing capacities, has a 2 inch opening (most popular size), and because it has a concealed crosstube which means once installed most of it won't be visible which will give you a nicer look than some of the other options. See attached picture to see what I mean.

You'll also need trailer wiring which for that I recommend the Tekonsha kit part # 118467 because it installs without any vehicle splicing and because it comes with the most reliable converter box we offer. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

Since 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.
