Comparing Class II Trailer Hitches for 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
Which Class II hitch should I get for my 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon? Is there a difference?
asked by: Ray
Expert Reply:
The Class II hitch I recommend for your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon is the Draw Tite hitch part # 36493 if your plan is to carry a hitch accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier as it does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does. If you are looking for the most hidden option the EcoHitch part # 306-X7267 is the way to go as only the hitch opening hangs down below the rear bumper. The drawbacks to this hitch are that it costs quite a bit more and the install is more involved.
I attached install videos for both hitches for you to check out as well.
